As long as we're bitching about powerboaters, I'll just chime in that Colorado Sail & Yacht Club has had three of our racing marks shattered already this year in what I can only assume were high-speed impacts by negligent or malicious (i.e. asshole) powerboaters. We use 55-gallon plastic drums filled with swimming noodles so they stay afloat when the assholes hit them. I've asked the State Park if we can use 55-gallon metal drums so they hole the assholes' boats on impact, but the State Park won't let us. Costs us about $75 and a whole bunch of time every time we have to remove and replace one. Frickin' pisses me off. Your average powerboat operator is a frickin' idiot.
