Funny...last time I rented a power boat
In Response To: Boat Discrimination ()

...it came with a vacation rental house on Orcas island in Washington. The owner dropped it off at the house, I gave him a ride back to his place, then on my return trip to the rental house I got pulled over by Border Patrol. Seems they were tipped off via satellite and thought some drug deal was going on. They ran my drivers license and quickly realized that I have a few clearances and let me go. The next day I got pulled over for a routine "safety inspection" by Coast Guard. Same kind of crap...oops we're sorry, have a nice day. A few days later it was the local sheriff's department. Point is, I will never rent another power boat. What a pain in the ass on a vacation.
