You, along with a few others here, remind me of the folks that buy under the final approach course of an airport and then want the airport shut down. Most that have wake boats use them responsibly (no, I don't own one now but i did at one time).  I've been on the lake (also in the Kowaliga area) and this forum a long time and have heard folks complain about jetskis, big boats, fast boats, wake boats, tubers, skiers, surfers,  fishermen, and even pontoon boats. It's a public lake and we property owners and all users need to deal with that fact. Waves and wakes are part of living on a lake and you need to adapt rather than expecting the lake to adapt to you. Yes, there are a few true abusers, but in reality it's minimal. Yes, I'm guessing all of us could be a little more careful at times. But, a large portion of (percieved) abuse is in the eye of the beholder. I agree with MM that education is always a good thing, but in reality there isn't a huge problem. The supposed problems many are complaing about could only truely be solved by restricting the lake to "idle only" by all boats, and thats not going to happen (and shouldn't happen).
