While I have never seen it going that fast (never measured it either) even if you were sitting still with no forward momentum you would still cause quite a wake! You would need your engine RPM's to be what would normally move your boat 26-30 knots (28-34 MPH) to even be moving forward. Im not sure why so many people in the channel can't grasp this?...
