My problem with wakeboard boats is this. I have been at anchor in a position not to impede navigation, tucked in behind an island and inside a buoy, an overall quiet place to anchor.

Several times on different days, we have had a wakeboard boat pass off our port side (150+ feet away, turn left and pass astern (150+ feet away), and then turn left again to pass to starboard (150+ feet away). So what could possibly be wrong.

It's called being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's being at the point where the eastbound boat wake meets the westbound boat wake right where our 25 ft bowrider is anchored. The resulting wave action tossed our bowrider around like a cork in a hurricane. A couple of times, we actually took water over the bow!

Wakes from wakeboard boats coming in from one side or the other can be a little interesting, but overall ok. What I described above brings a whole new meaning to "shut up, sit down, and hold on!" .
