Lower Speeds/Larger Wakes

topwater · 10-31-2005, 10:01 PM

If this speed limit on the lake does pass, are any of the shoreline property owners worried about excessive shore line erosion from all the larger wakes? I would think that faster speeds create much smaller wakes=less pounding of waves on the shoreline, with every boat going slower and creating a larger wake, (which WILL happen) there will be alot rougher waters and a much increased hammering of the shoreline, with increasing erosion inevitable.
I would like to hear from the lake front owners how they feel about this.
This is not a debate or a argument, just a heathy question.
