Unless pulling a wakeboarder with the bags full to create the wake-- wakeboard boats do not create any larger wake than any other boat. We have had a Mastercraft Maristar -- strictly SKI -- and its wake was no smaller than our X45 when the bags are not loaded. I remember the lake before the HUGE Cruisers /small yachts were banned. It was like the ocean in open water (by the dam and Kowlagia) for years. Way worse than it is now.
Apparenly there is a pecking order here ...
Pontoon Owners hate any boat that does not have pontoons
Bass Boat Owners hate any boat, jet ski, pontoon that comes around them when they are fishing
Cruiser Owners hate Wakeboard Boats because they are showoffs and have loud music booming from their speakers
Wakeboard Boat owners hate Jet Skis because they travel over the wake and right behind the wakeboarder creating a dangerous situation for the rider
Jet Ski owners love all boats because they can jump the wake -- they are by far the most affable bunch.
After reading all the responses -- I think that this is pretty fair.
So all hail the Jet Ski folk--- all you need is love. Peace
Bottom line -- be respectful to all -- and realize there is a place and time for everything. Soon I will be on a Pontoon -- we are getting one... but we will still have our wakeboard boat because our kids really enjoy it -- and we enjoy seeing them enjoy it. People who don't respect others suck and make it miserable for all of us. We do not buzz docks or come anywhere near them when wakeboarding. We should all be aware of our wake when near docks and inhabited sloughs no matter what we are driving.
