I have literally thought of loading a gun full of bleach and storing it away, just for this type of situation. It's idiots that don't own boats that are drunk asses on their friends ride.......man this makes my blood boil.

It's illegal and fucking BS. It's not their property. God help the person that ever squirts me......and I pray that it doesn't hit a sleeping kid and wake them up because my wife is nuttier than I am..

Dude.......she is nuts. Kid ran down the side of our boat at Pirates in the restaurant cove, splashed the boat in and out, woke up the baby sleeping on the back seat and she went crazy.

The rage is real.

I saw someone get reprimanded by the cops for a water cannon yesterday at Pirates.

So you mean jet boat?

Edit : BB500r’s post disappeared.

It sounded like he was requesting having a jetboat under the engine cover.

Where was the Popo? They used to shut it down pretty quick. Seems like this flares up every few years. :mad:

Just curious... why take a sleeping child into the channel on a busy day?

Uhhhh because after a boat ride back from Pirates or 3 Dunes, that's what happens.

We always end our day with an hour of Channel time to let the ones that fall asleep, stay asleep for a little while. Boat with kids and you will understand.

Even without sleeping kids, squirting boats and people who are minding their own business is wrong.

Yeah.....I heard that it is a misdemeanor but that seems harsh so not 100% on that, but it is definitely a ticket for sure.

I thought it was kind of a thing the people on shore and boats do as a little war. We do it on the 4th in Naples harbor canals. It's awesome.

Non boat people dont understand for sure! I got on to the kids for splashing water on the side of the boat a couple weeks ago and i heard someone on shore in the swim area making fun of me for telling the kids to not splash the boat.
Non boat people dont understand about getting the inside of the boat wet either.

Gotta Say! ... The boat people I know take a hose and wash the inside of the boat as well as out!
But even this flat water here at Havasu!... I make sure water comes over the front, back, and sides before the day is done! ... If a boat can't get wet!-- what good is it??

Fuck! :D Now you got me wondering if I'm Boat People or Not! o_Oo_Oo_O :smackHead:

I have tamed down a lot while we are beached with other boats at 3 Dunes and other spots.......just too much to keep up with between my kids and neighbor boats. Kids are going to be kids and its inevitable that the boat gets wet. I let them go to town and then wipe off right as we are ready to leave. The best is those mid week days where we find a beach to ourselves and they can play away from the boat all day.

I get on the kids a lot when they splash other people's boats but if you pull up to 3 Dunes on a Saturday when it's all packed in and expect your ride to stay spotless, then maybe you should find another beach and this is coming from an OCD nutcase.

I don't mind my group of people getting water inside my boat. I wash the inside. But if you stand on the shore and blast my with a water canons I'm going to be pissed. If it's not yours don't f#*€ with it. Have some respect.

Nothing like getting water in the blowerscoop and killing the motor, i have had that happen to me, and then wouldn't start. There goes the steering and the brakes.

I had someone hit my daughter right in the face when she was under 1yo and sleeping in moms lap. The boat next to water cannons took care of business for me. The 3 cannons were all smashed against the sea wall and broken. I ended up buying pizza and beer for those guys that night.

It gets dangerous for guys like me, ive had eye surgeries in the past and a blast to the eyes would put me down for me. Everybody will jump/jerk when hit in the eyes/face, do that to an operator and your asking for an accident

I'm probably going to regret this but I'll ask.......you don't want water splashed on the side of your boat? You don't want the inside wet either? So if I'm swimming, I have to dry off to get in your boat?
I really hope you're kidding.

Prescott Az in the 90s had water wars downtown for the 4th of July. I believe they shut it down because it got too stupid. It's a slow cruise around the town square because the traffic is hurendous. People water ballooning and squirting from the vehicles, streets, and roof tops. We always went fishing in the morning and water wared in the evening. If we got in a sticky spot and started to lose we would start throwing the mornings catch at other people. The looks on their faces as they ran off yelling, " THEY ARE THROWING FISH" was epic.

To this day I have to be the luckiest son of a bitch on the planet.. It's never happened to me unless I gave them the head nod yes (it's ok).

You honestly must not have kids!! Like a 200 mile drive when you’re 1 mile away kids fall asleep automatically.

No see that’s the absolute worst mentality to have imho, you are basically stating “if you don’t like people breaking the law just don’t go near it” no they need signs on the shore with a warning, as well have shore patrol it’d take three officers on bikes to just go back and forth! I’m not pro more law but let’s be real the lack of respect from people these days is incredulous. I’d love to see a sign that stated “minimum fine 1500$ ...” (and enforced) that would maybe get through the heads of the trash balls that find it ok.
