The wake boats are not great for the lake.
The substantial wakes created contribute to the erosion of the shoreline. The loud high mounted speakers add way more noise than a regular boat with interior low mounted speakers. Often when they start within a mile of my house it is necessary to close the windows in the house just to watch TV. The people operating these boats seem to have no idea how far the sound travels over the water.
Many operators of these boats seem oblivious to the disturbances they cause. When they set up in one area and give everyone on board a turn it results in hours of disturbance and waves washing up on shore. It is substantially more detrimental than one go fast boat passing by.
I, for one, hope this idea goes nowhere.
