Any boat run a certain way makes a big wake and you can't ban every boat from the lake. How about the suggestion that we ban docks and boathouses that cannot withstand waves of less than 5 feet. Sound kind of draconian? Well it makes sense to big boat and wakeboard boat owners. So it is no less wrong than suggesting a ban on wakeboard boats. The fact is if you live on a lake you should be prepared to handle waves on your property. I live in a slough and we rarely get large waves but I designed my boathouse, floating dock and jet ski floats to handle waves like I am on big water. I know I can't do anything about the occasional big wave and I frankly don't want to have to worry about it.

I had a neighbor further up our slough who was a maniac when it came to waves. He had piece of scat docks and he would complain about boats going by at 1200 rpm. Guess what happened to him? He died of a massive coronary probably because if he became apoplectic about something like that he was a heart attack waiting to happen. I am not going to ruin my life worrying about waves. I just build to prevent them from doing any damage and then I can be happy....don't worry.......
