The Mount's wake was bigger when she was shorter. However, from a water skier point of view, the Sophie C had a bigger wake, i.e. higher, steeper. In the day, the Doris E was still the "General"and rarely seen. If you lived/skied in the Wolfeboro or Alton Bay areas, you never saw the Sophie C. Bigger wakes than the Mount's also came from large cabin cruisers which were also more common on the western side of the lake in the 50's and 60's.
