Fortunately these boats stay away from my house because it fronts on the broads, but I did encounter one the other day in the cove by Worcester Island. I knew there would be some bounce when I crossed it's wake (I was several hundred feet past it), but I was unprepared for the size of the wave that totally overran the bow of my 16 foot boat. I can't imagine what these wakes are doing to the shoreline and docked boats in these normally quiet coves.

I'd hate to encounter these wakes in a kayak or a canoe.
