Actually Maine does have a boating law that requires headway speed within the "water safety zone" which is 200 ft from shore. There is no law requiring distance from other boats above headway speed.

If I'm going slower other wakes don't have a major impact on me. If I am going faster I make my course so I don't have to worry about jarring and getting beat too death.
NH is the exception with the 150 ft rule and you don't see wide-spread pandomonium by not having it in other states. This is a major part of why I don't see how any SL supporter would have a legitimate argument but whatever.
