Answer:

Depends on the State laws

Step-by-step explanation:

A Personal Water Craft (PWC) traveling at minimum speed i.e., a speed lower than 6 mph is known as headway speed.

In the state of Texas the distance that should be maintained is 50 Feet

In the state of Massachusetts a distance of 150 to 300 Feet should be maintained.

The distance to be maintained varies from state to state.

The answer to the question above is 50 FEET. This is also the same distance as the boat. This should be the distance that a PWC stay away from a stationary platform or shoreline or another boat when operating at greater than headway speed. PWC stands for personal water craft such as a water scooter.
