OleBamaGuy I've never noticed a deckboat putting out a wake larger than a wakeboard boat.  Have you seen one do that?  The ironic thing would be if that's true, why would anybody spend the money on a wakeboard boat when a deckboat is much cheaper and more comfortable if they throw a bigger wake than the one designed for big wakes?  Mine doesn't throw much of a wake at all except when getting up on plane as does any other boat of any kind or size.  My question was why are boats longer than 30'-6" banned?  Like I said, I haven't seen one of the big cruisers on plane in years.  (no wake at all)  As far as people not looking behind them at their wake and/or not caring, you are absolutely correct.  I think the problem is they don't care about the damage they do.  Many people also don't seem to be very courteous about passing or yielding to other boats.  I'm surprised there are not more accidents than there are.
