The river I ride on is the state border. MN and WI have slightly different boating laws. The river itself has its own set of rules but it does not address water skiing. We have been told that they will enforce whatever set of regulations apply to the state where your boat is registered.

That is an interesting approach. In this case the WA laws for when you have to quit riding are more lenient and that's where my boat is registered and where I have my boater's license from...

It also makes me think about this scenario... I don't smoke anything personally, but we all know that WA recently legalized pot. Wouldn't that be an interesting situation when it's legal in one state and not the other? I remember on the 5th of july there was a huge party camping on Government Island (in the middle of the columbia river, only accessible by boat). I could tell plenty of them were smoking it up. Technically Govt. Island is 100% on the Oregon side, but most people don't know one way or the other (or care). Just interesting stuff to think about.

Yup, makes for some rather interesting handling qualities unique to this airplane. It is also a very rough ride on the water. And I thought my Comp was rough!



Again, I apologize both for it not being a Supra and for the length. However, it does have a prop on it at least.

When you taking me footing behind this.

I would pay to see that!

However, we were riding in the Columbia River. So literally a couple hundred yards north of where we were riding is WASHINGTON. There is actually a state line that is in the river (not necessarily the center of the river either).

The WA law says:



So I would say that since OR and WA laws conflict that I should get the benefit of the doubt when boating on a river that is on the state line...

Here is a map of where we ride at. The red circle is one of our spots (where we were last night), and the pink circle is another area we frequent. As you can see, those two areas are pretty obviously on the Oregon side of the state line. But a lot of areas would not be as clear cut...

Unfortunately it would depend on the guy pulling you over... cost guards sheriff state cop or local cop and which state they were from... MY experiences have been that the stricter of the two rulings would be the one they enforce not the more lenient.... either way its a big risk not for what you are doing but how well blind old fishermen running up the river to get home can see! once nav light come on we try to be done just because we don't trust others to look out for us!

Yeah, when we were in that "gray area" we were the only ones that were really running on that stretch of water. Of course, it's always helpful to have the speaker LED's and the tower lights!

I wish it was mine!!!! It's a 2001 Mobius V with 900 on the rear locker and 750 bow. I got invited to join one of the locals from the Moomba forum last night and had a blast.

I did wear my "Supra Boats" shirt on his Moomba though! hahaha.
