Just wondering why so many people ride around in their boats without planing off. These people act like they don't know that the waves behind them are 3 feet tall and sometimes taller.

Even the smallest of boats out there will make a huge swell if the boat is standing straight up, not to mention that fuel mileage is at its worst because the engine is in a strain the whole time. Generally the faster you go the smaller the wake. (not saying to ride around full throttle at all times!)

I just think that people should pay more attention to their own waves sometimes, especially while riding by a cluster of docks or other boats. I guess most people try to slow down in congested areas to appear to be safe but at the same time making a tidal wave behind them!! Oh well, I'll still be out there enjoying this beautiful lake as I have for 30 yrs.
