You can legally fly within 500 feet of a structure when departing or arriving at an airport. I and every other pilot do it all the time.....in fact every time I fly. But my point with the analogy is that people buy on lakes and near airports and then complain about the planes and boats.....or buy near a landfill and then complain about the smell and all those garbage trucks. If you don't want to deal with boats, planes or garbage trucks don't buy a house on a lake or near an airport or landfill.

The only thing you can control is yourself and getting all upset about waves, wakesurfers, boaters, etc. seems to me counterproductive. If you plan on the ignorant boaters (and they will always be out there regardless of laws) then you can live in peace on a big lake. If not, sell now and move to one where they only allow electric motors. Or do like me, set up your dock to take into account ignorant boaters and enjoy the lake stress free. I had a neighbor that would get apoplectic about boats making waves and one day he dropped dead of a heart attack. The guy who bought his house fixed all the crappy docks so they could handle the waves and is much calmer.
