Alan...
I read that in the age group issue, that 21 to 25 were the PWC majority and yet 41 to 45 was the open motor group. What do you see in this. Which group is the biggest set of A Holes???
Or is it as generic as every age has A Holes???

I think it goes toward their status in life. The 41-45 age group are more set in their finances and can afford bigger boats, while the 21-25 is the "entry level" for boat ownership. Thrill craft are also more attractive to the younger age group, not to mention more inclined to rent at that age.
Why 41-45? Mid-life crisis mentality. Beginning to realize that they're getting older, but still in good enough health to beat themselves up on the water.
How many boaters of that age group here are a little stiff and sore when they get up on the Moday morning after runnin' it hard over the weekend?
Most who say they aren't are only kidding themselves.

Yeah I can see that... The problems on a consistent basis I see is...
PWC's at the ramps, I understand they take longer as there is two of them usually and that they have to be secured... Boats do to, but most boat owners have more experience and can get off the ramp. Now out on the water, Some of the boats turn into AHole loudmouths that think they own the place. After a day of drinking, playing... they are spent and forget that they were beginners at one time also. We have all had close calls with PWC's, but until they have a red asphault for PWC's, every new young invincible person will just have to learn before they get hurt or cause hurt.
