They probably had a laugh over it...my nemesis are the owners of pig boats...wake surfers suck way worse then the personal watercraft/jet skis do. In contrast, a big cabin cruiser is less of a problem, because they are just going from point a to b. The pig boats congregate in an area and make repeated passes. It's really tough on the spine to sit in a butt seat on the bow while that is going on, evan a half mile away. That's one reason why I often control my bow mount troller with the remote keypad from a bucket seat while salmon or trout trolling, way easier on the back. Before I got my Ultrex I stuck the passenger bucket on the bow pedestal. Waaaay more comfy than the butt seat for this lumbar patient.
