Glad to see that there are other laker’s that are  frustrated with the wake problem on our lake. I am not a Johnny come lately to the lake. I have been for 62 years so I have some skin in the game. My dad and I build a sea wall on our lot out of concrete test cylinders which has stood the test of time till two summers ago when a wake boat passed by and sucked out 40 feet of wall. After much thought I repaired the collapse only to watch another wake boat suck it down the next summer. 

I have a lift for my pontoon to keep it from being  destroyed, but when I have guest over for a visit it requires a constant vigil to protect their boats. I do not think a ban is the solution but I do think  common sense along with a  designated area for these boats is a must.

I encourage any other  property owner to make their views known on this subject so others may take action to improve our beautiful lake for years to come.
