The problem with this approach is exactly what you pointed out about the cumulative effects on the docks and proving that one boat on one day did all the damage to the dock.  I don't think that is possible and probably not even the case.  What would probably work is if the MP could stop boaters when they see them wakesurfing around homes and tell them they should do it elsewhere to avoid damage.  But that's not theor job to be etiquette police and it would be all they do all day.

As for the potato gun and tennis balls, as much as I love the idea, the first time you hit and injure someone you are probably going to end up in court and possibly jail......such is the world we live in these days.  I am wondering if maybe an education flyer mailed to registered baot owners would help.  SOmething simple and to the point about the damage that wakes can do.  Basically it is a problem that would require a broad, long term effort to get most of the boaters to be more responsible......and then there are the visitors and the kids and etc.  

I hate to say this but I suspect this is a case of life on a lake, especially on big water.  I live in a cove and don't have this issue but I plan to buy a house on better water and I will upgrade my docks for the ignoramuses so I don't have the frustration.
