Specifically, it is illegal for PWC operators to: a) Weave the PWC through congested waterway traffic; b) Jump the wake of another motorboat when visibility is obstructed; c) Become airborne while crossing the wake of another motorboat and within 100 feet of that motorboat; d) Operate at greater than "slow, no wake" speed within 50 feet of any other vessel, PWC, or person in the water; e) Operate in a manner that requires swerving at the last possible moment to avoid collision.Question:What is the maximum legal speed you may operate a PWC when within 50 feet of any other vessel, PWC, or person in the water?a:10 mphb:15 mphc:"slow, no wake" speedd:"small wake" speedYour Answer:dCorrect:cExplanation:PWCs must operate in a careful and responsible manner.

There is absolutely no direct correlation in horsepower and CC's. CC's is the engine size or displacement, whereas horsepower is the output generated by that engine. Horsepower can vary for a given engine based on altitude, temperature, and engine condition. If any of these variables change, the engine size or displacement remains constant, however, the output (horsepower) can vary significantly. To the person that says his honda engine is a x-horsepower with so many CC's, thus there are xx number of cc's in a horsepower, he is only correct when that particular engine is operating, at ideal standards equal to that of the manufacturer.
All persons must be at least 14 years of age to legally operate a motorboat or PWC unless under the direct, onboard supervision of a parent, guardian, or other person 16 years of age or older. - Missouri boat regulations website
