It's only when a floatplane is taxiing on the water that the
maritime rules make sense.

Much as is the case with airships, gliders, and powered aircraft, the
maritime rules of the road provide that the least maneuverable ship
has the right of way. From what I have seen of floatplanes, that would
be the floatplane!

Do you think the pilot would be upset if I took my formula 27 pc, which
weighs in at about 10,500 pounds and has twin 350s and created some nice
wake action for him to make the touchdowns more exciting?

A pilot in a similar state of mind could make your boating equally exciting.

I'd venture that the same rules would apply to the boater whether he was
harassing a seaplane or a rowboat.

This is an important national security topic, despite what that moron Phil
Boyer says.

Despite what appears to be your desire to hook fish behind a boat, I'd
ask why you think this. Especially considering the potentially =huge=
amount of explosive that the interstates could carry directly to the
hearts of all our major cities via rented trucks.

He'd probably go around. What do you find satisfying about being an
asshole?



I think I have right of way on the lake, but the FARs provide me no
guidance.


I believe seaplanes are supposed to avoid all other traffic.

You are responsible for your wake and you don't have right of way over much
of anything in a powerboat.

Will you be upset when his prop hits your formula 27pc at 1500 RPM?

Both have right of way on the lake.

[nothing interesting]

[took the bait]

Frankly, you guys need to wise up to the fact that "Skylune" is the best
troll we've seen in awhile. He says stuff just stupid enough to get a
response, but not so clearly whacked out for the regulars here to killfile
him.

Look at all the traffic he's managed to generate with his idiotic posts.
Everyone's falling over themselves to correct him, when the best way to put
him in his place would be to just ignore him.

I look forward to when the rest of you have wised up. I admit, it took
me a few posts, but I've already figured it out.

Your right! The interesting thing is that I knew he was trolling and
responded anyway!

Like I said, he's one of the best we've seen in awhile. But he's still
a troll.

I guess I should be insulted. Sorry, though, you flying go-carters are
nothing but an annoyance.
