I've been in a small 14' row boat and had fishermen in bass boats go past at 1/4 throttle and just about swamp my family and me. No 'excuse me' or anything. I've been in a closed bow 15' boat, fish on the line (a nice one too, I might add) and had a bass boat cross within 20' of my stern throwing a huge wave. I had to drop the rod and steady the boat so my family would be safe. Idiots drive all sizes of boats. You may be small compared to a cruiser, but you're big compared to a row boat. Everyone should watch what size wave they're throwing. This world needs less rage and more courtesy towards their fellow man, land or sea. Turn the other cheek?
