Actually, most of the oil going into the United States is not connected with terrorists in any ways.

In my experience on the lake, I've come across many a boat. The one that seems to frighten me the most is the Cabin Cruiser/Yacht. When a fast boat is at a plane, it can usually cut through the water with no problem. Their wakes are generally small. A boat the same size with a rounder hull will create a larger wake because the hull rides the waves instead of cutting through them. Plus, the offshore boats usually have a seat that will cradle you into looking over the windshield.

When I hear the words "big wakes," my mind doesn't immediately go to the fastest boats on the lake. Instead, I think of the largest.

I know the horsepower isn't needed in all of these "offshore" boats, and neither is their presence. If one lives on a boat, they could be my guest and cruise around. However, when I see boats that have more stories than my house does I get a little wary.
