There's a couple of big (38 to 42 feet would be my guess) Regal cruisers on the lake that kick up absolutely huge and steep wakes at planing speed. They are much worse than the typical Carver or Silverton plowing wake. When I see them coming, I adjust my course and speed drastically, and call out a warning for everyone on board. The Regal boats are both dark colored and easy to spot from a distance. Their wakes are on par with the Sophie C and Doris E, I imagine you remember those...
