Michigan law designates the following dangerous operating practices as illegal.
Riding on the Bow, Gunwales, or Transom is allowing passengers to ride on a motorboat in places where there may be a chance of falling overboard. While operating at greater than “slow, no wake speed,” persons on a motorboat may not sit, stand, or walk on any portion of a motorboat not designed for that purpose. This includes riding on the gunwale.
In Maryland, illegal at any speed; Michigan illegal only on plane. I guess that's the difference.
