Wifey and I were enjoying a little adult beverage yesterday evening on the dock (our whole bay is a no wake zone) and we saw a rooster tail coming around the point....it was a bass boat with what looked like a Merc 300 on it going flat out.I'm not exaggerating when I say he had to be doing 75mph.We never mind when someone overlooks the no wake zone because the waves give us a free beach cleaning.Anyway.....we suddenly realized that the boat barely even left a wake......no worse than a pontoon boat at headway speed.He was trimmed up and flying........we're wainting for the waves and a couple of little ripples come in. we cracked up laughing.Technically,he didn't break the law.Sign doesn't say 6mph...it says "no wake"
