There are boating regulations that tell how far a boat operator has to stay away from your pier and as long as they stay away the appropriate distance and do not operate the boat in an unsafe manner then there is nothing that can be done. I had a guy that was visiting his father 30 yrs. ago that tried to keep us from sking into our slough to drop off at the dock come storming up to our dock in his boat and almost ran over me. I had to swim under the dock to avoid being hit, little did he know my dad was standing there with a gun about to shot a snake. Quite the suprise for the ashhat in the boat. Oh did I mention that the big slough where his dock was is about 200 yrds wide. Some people move in and think they own the lake. Now if there is a real problem contact the proper authorities.
