I would say if there is an increase in erosion it is due to the overall volume of traffic in general.  I don't think it can all be blamed on wake boats alone.  I think it's an ignorant statement to blame all recent erosion on wake boats but of course I'm biased because I'm a wake boat owner.  Think about the amount of development on the lake in the past 5, 10 or 20 years.  There are just more people on the lake which translates to more boats which means more wave action.  The south end of the lake from Chuck's to the dam is like running in a 3 to four 4 sea on busy weekends.  That is not from wake boats.  You can't wake surf when the conditions are like that.

There has been significant erosion on the lot next to us that does not have a sea wall and we are in a quiet slough.  If there is no sea wall you will have erosion from both wave action and runoff.

A wake boat ban is a pipe dream.  It will never happen.  The largest marina group on the lake sells a lot of these boats and services them.  The local economies want the revenue that they bring. 

If you’re looking for a quiet, tranquil lake on the weekends then Lake Martin is not your lake anymore.  How can it be with all the development?  It is only going to get worse.
