You guys with these wake board boats need to dig real deep and pull your heads out of your A$$ s!! That doesnt mean all of you guys but this one in particular and a few i have come across. One of your fellow boaters decided to plow by a bunch of us floating at blythe and almost sank two of us. I am not sure this guy is on the forums but if he is would you please tell me what a place diverter feels like when you are about 30 feet behind me?

What in the world makes someone want to go by and slow down so there wake gets five times bigger and can sink a boat like ours?Why in the hell do you have to circle people when they are floating and keep going by like its cool and we want to watch?If we wanted to wakeboard or watch we would have a boat to do it with.The river is big enough for everone but people need to have some respect for each other out there.

From what I've witnessed on numerous occasions many wakeboarders only concern is how big a wake they can produce regardless of anyone else and how loud they can blast the tunes. Not sure they even realize there are other boaters, floaters that they are swamping. There's definately an element out there that is just plain lame and clueless. It applies to other boaters as well. But just like with pit bulls, wakeboard boats have the ability to sink shit with their lameness just like pits have the ability to kill when they bite.
It's all about common courtesy and awareness (or lack thereof).
It's an "all about me" world more and more it seems.

This is why I believe a boat license of some type would be good. The problem is a lot of people out there on the water really don't know the rules. The second problem as I see it is that they don't have any thought of anyone but themself out there. Not just wakeboard boats though. It can be any one on the water.

I know I have had some pretty interesting "Hot Boats" cut across my bow with only inches in between us. SOB's think that just cause I'm in a tourny ski boat that I'm only doing 30 mph and they can just cut in front of me....It goes both ways. I also love the "Hot Boats" sitting and idling in the channel for hours talking to buddies about the new plug wires they just got...good idea! :hammer2:

Hey Guys
Your floating down the river all tied up together and having a great time................ were in our Boat, wakeboarding at a speed of 20/24 mph.
Were all there for one purpose, that is to have a good time.
Do you expect us to drop our boarder everytime we come upon a group of floaters??????????

Not drop the boarder. Just open your F*cken eyes and see that a group are tied together and make room. No reason to get close enough that people can see the name on your speakers banging out that tribal jungle junk. Had a guy on our lake stand on his dock with a video camera. Video'd the guy in the wake boat, his wake and the damage it did to boats at three docks in the cove. Got the numbers and the three people sued for damage. Doesn't matter if that is what your boat is made for, you are still responsible for damage caused by your wake.

The river area in question is 200' wide. The whole river. When the boats are tied up floating down the middle, that gives us about 100' to work with, subtracting the tied up boats, also the river is shallow (12' at maximum to a minimum of exposed sandbars). I believe everyone needs to be courteous, not just the wakeboard boats. At some points the main channel flow is only 50' wide, courteous would be for the floaters to move over to the shallow part while all boaters ultilize the main portion.
BTW, I'll watch my wake and turn down the music while in a populated areas, just as we would like some courtesy as well. Enjoy

Sounds to me like the three idiots don't know how to tie up the boats so that they don't bang into stuff, that's what they make fenders for. Who would they sue if a big wind comes up, God? Good luck on that lawsuit, I would love to be in that courtroom when the judge laughs his ass off. Get a life dude, your just bitchen because you don't like wakeboarders. Get real and stop your bitchen! If anything you might want to try to just ask the guy not to come as close next time instead of trying to sue. All these lawsuits are what's wrong with this damn country. We use to handle our own problems without going to court for everything. Now be a good guy and go listen to Dwight Yokam or Willie Nelson or what ever crap you listen to.
I know I'll probably catch hell for the above but really, who do you sue when the wind picks up and blows your boat into the dock?

welllllllllllll, it is true that all operators are RESPONSIBLE for the wake that their boat causes. Should that wake damage docks, boats or other property, you as the driver can be held responsible.
Put it this way, brah.
Wind is wind; a 3' or 4' wake generated by a boat hauling an extra 1500 lbs of ballast is not wind. :messedup:

well i can understand if we are floating in the middle of the day but it was 7 at night and the water was glass every where so that asshole could have avoided us by turning around before he got to us. Instead he turned around 50 feet after he passed us to come back by. Some of you wakeboard act like jet ski owners.

I know the boating laws, I just took a 36 hour boating class that my insurance carrier requires to have a tunnel hull (I just bought an 19' Daytona). I simply think that any judge would laugh his ass off at that hearing. Also I'm pretty sick and tired of all the shit I take from the a**holes in low freeboard boats about the wake I put out. Several times I have been cruising down the lake and have some asshole either throw bottles or yell shit at me cause I'm making a wake. My f%#%ing boat doesn't even have a ballast system in it and I don't carry fat sacs or anything else in fact it's a freakin' tournament slalom boat built specifically not to put out a wake. Just because my boat has a tower I get yelled at and I'm f$@%ing tired of it! All boats are going to make a wake and if your boat can't handle a little wake either why it's beached or anchored you should think about boating somewhere else, finding a protected cove, investing in a lift if docked at your house or putting it on a trailer when you aren't using it, or even maybe consider a private lake. I usually boat at Bartlett where the lake is only so wide so there I guess the only answer is not to go at all right? Simply put I think it's bullshit to come on here and put out a generalized statement like this thread and not to expect to get one in return. I think the answer hear would be to go talk to the offender and not make a generalized statement to everyone who has a particular type of boat. That's about all I have to say on this subject other than stop your bitchen and be a part of the solution and not the problem! Oh, maybe you could sue the city or county for not enforcing the boating laws, I'm sure there is someone poor fool you can sue to make you feel better..

With some of the things we hear about the west coast you just might be right about the judge laughing his ass off, however in the instance I am aware of, it cost the boat owner almost 5,000 to repair three boats. It was an extreme case but the video definitely showed the idiots in the wakeboard boat coming within 25 or 50 feet of the docks and doing a 180. This boat did have ballast tanks and really messed up a couple of older cookie cutter boats. Judge ruled in the dock owners favor and the wakeboard boat owner had to come up with the cash to fix the older boats. As to the question about people floating tied up on the river it is still YOUR responsibility to take evasive action. I just don't understand people now days. Just because you have a boat doesn't mean you own the water. People have been floating a lot longer than they have been skiing or wakeboarding. What right do you have to say that people who have enjoyed floating on the river for years should have to leave and go somewhere else just because some idiot got his daddy to buy a ski/wakeboard boat and wants to come in and act like he owns the water. I love to ski as much as anyone but I make sure that I am in an area where I can do it without being too much of a pain in the ass to others who are enjoying the water in different ways. As to your comments about the lawsuits I didn't say anywhere I thought people should be doing it, I was just making you aware that they could and have done so and won.

Ok Im at the river all the time (between Needles bridge and sand bar) and I see all kinds including those who I consider to be the worst offenders, the 28+ footers who think they own the river (just because there in their second mortgage) and go 70+ on the river back and forth back and forth with no regard to anybody else, even kids in tubes are free game, they will get right up on that tubes ass and then blast by. (oh by the way memorial weekend one came up made a huge u turn and swamped a little boat and sunk it ) and regarding floating yea I do it and enjoy it BUT when you get 3 or more boats tied together it can be a hazard, they are right in the middle and your only choice is to go around and sometimes you have to get closer than you would like to due to boats anchored near shore or it being too shallow. and regarding the music I am just as annoyed by the floaters who crank their music so loud that I can here them when Im in my house with the doors and windows closed. Notice all the "theys" I used, its always the other guy but you and I both know one so next time you see him doing something like this say something! In closing we all better be more considerate of others or somebody (big brother) will tell us how to use our boats, free time, etc. Just like they have done time and time before.

no defense for wake board boats but boats hangin in the middle of a narrow river is also just as disturbing.I dont boat down in blyhte but near aha quin.I dont drive a wakeboard boat or a low pro jet either(so i aint one sided ).After dark i see a problem but not during daylight.I myself like to wait til 7pm to go do some good watersking since it is calmer and no i aint slowing down.Play during the day float at night.Yes i will avoid a float if i can but if not cause of sandbars or whatever i aint stoping til clear

Basically all I was trying to say in this thread is that posting a thread like this in this section of the forum directed at all people in a wakeboard boats is bullshit. I probably drive my boat better than 99% of the people out there and know most of the boating laws after a flippin' 36 hour class. As far as being polite it was my dad who just had his foot cut off by a guy in a wakeboard boat following to close behind him skiing so I know what be polite are laws are for. All in all, this goes out to everyone who bitches at me just because of my boat .... GO F$#K OFF!, no one else!

do they make place diverters for wakeboard boats-? because that would be
the bomb.
--Sherpa
I too think alot, not all, the wakeboard DRIVERS need to learn some rules.
that said, there's probably ALOT more PWC riders needing driving instructions.
that also being said, tieing-up more than a few boats together, especialy
floating IN THE MIDDLE of the river is just not smart.
but we all do need to get along. the wakeboard boat turning around after
passing the group was a bad decision. he could have turned prior to coming
up on the group floating. then again, they shouldn't "hold" the postion of
dictating who/boat type gets to pass them........

Wakeboard boats are the next evoulution to boats. This is the same complaint that happens every time something new comes along.
Harleys - Rice Rockets

Flat Bottom V-Drives - Jets - Jet Ski
Small boats - 35' Cat's on the river

well my .02 is this. as a kid i enjoyed a cool v-drive learning to slalom ski and just enjoying the water. then as a teen i got my own jet. i soon realized as much as i loved old school i wanted a bigger cat. now i own a 25' cat and you wont see me on the lower river. that is i.m.o. saved for the v-drives and jets. bigger boats should show the respect and move to waters they can navigate without enfringing upon others. im not calling anybody anything but, there should be a 22' limit on the lower river and it would get alot better. hell i might even build another jet just to go run the strip again. :idea:

I was just trying to say in my last post that the crazies on the river/lake most likely are not on this website. They are oblivious to their surroundings. They sure aren't on here trying to learn something about the rules of the waterways. Probably stuck on some launch ramp somewhere jacknifeing a trailer. :rollside:

I cant believe that there is a two page deal in here that is amazing.I think jet boats suck,v drives suck and wakeboard boats suck when being drivin by the wrong person.But on a serious note the guys with the bigger boats and wakeboard boats realy need to watch their wakes cause they do more damage than they even know.We all need to share the same body of water so if people dont try and sink me i wont roost them that seems fair enough.

Yet another funny a$$ thread :D :D Wakeboard boaters dont bother me but here in mesa,az we have alot at saguaro lake and let me tell you that most of them cant drive here. I dont know why but they cant.its like a disease here or something. I just trim up and nail the pedal. Although i had a close call. I froze up my cam in my old jetboat and I was waving my hands in the air for help along came a wakeboard boat. They just looked at me and started that 360 shit! they boarded 75ft away from me and I was getting frantic as I watched the wakes dump into my bilge. I was yelling and waving yet I got nothing from them. Luckily a lakelice pulled up to me and pulled me in. I looked for them at the ramp to beat some ass but they never came in.They saw me and knew I was in trouble but never responded. Moral of the story is that not all drivers of these boats are good drivers(especiall here). If my boat would have started, thier asses would have felt a 5ft nozzle of 4000 psi!! In the long run I still like all boater untill you mess with me or try to sink my low profile jet.Now back to our local program;)

I boat mostly on a local lake up in Northern Ca. I've only been down to the Colorado river one time, but I can see where in a confined area like that, caution, class, and common sense are critical, and when those traits are absent, their absence endangers everybody.
As far as boats go, I like 'em all. The jets, the V-drives, the cats. They are all wonderful toys, and fun to watch, ride in and listen to.
Right now, we have a SkiSanger Tournament type boat, because it suits our family needs. We hang with jetters and V-drive types, and trade rides. When their crews want to ski or board, we take my boat. When we need that rush that can only come from haulin' the mail, we ride in one of the go-fast boats.
I like music as much as the next guy, and do have system in the boat. I don't crank it on the beach when other folks are around, because they might not care for my brand of music. I don't crank it when towng, cause I need to be able to hear the observer and otherwise concentrate on driving the boat and watching out for the idiots we are talking about here. There is a time and a place for everything.
I think the primary problem we are talking about here is, as usual people, and their general unwillingness to act like they are beyond the training pants stage.
I have seen these same idiots infiltrate the sand dunes, the mountains during hunting season, and the lake. The people that can't get along on the water are the same ones who can't get along on the streets. They have yet to figure out that the world is not their personal playpen.
These are the same clowns that don't signal when they change lanes on the freeway, do 55 MPH down a residential street, and all the other stuff that has always brought the words "what an asshole" to mind when we see them in action. They don't give a damn about the old lady behind them coming out the door at the restuarant, and would just as soon slam the door in her face as hold it open for her for a second or two.
These are the people who camp at the dunes, and leave their trash for the next guy to pick up.
Unfortunately, there is a down side to the fact that these days just about anybody can go down to the toy store and by an new YFZ450, a new $50k Long Travel Sand car, or a new boat. While low interest rates are a good thing, we need to realize that there are people out there with access to toys that exceed their skill-set. Many of these folks should never get beyond the basic POS car-to-get-around level, and in the past their incomes and lack of desire to improve themselves sorta kept them in check. With cheap money being available to just about anybody, the results are predictable. Dealing with these people on the roadways was bad enough, now they are on the water and in other public recreation areas where their piss-poor people skills are apparent for all to see. After 25 years as a cop, I can tell you that the numbers of these folks I deal with are going way up.
The general result of that is that the rest of us get pissed off, and somebody else's stupid decisions cost us hard-earned money. Or worse yet, somebody gets hurt or killed, and then the government steps in and winds up writing laws that are based upon dealing with the behavior of the lowest-common denominator people, because what used to be considered "common sense we're all living on the same planet" stuff is now really rare.
Then, the rest of us get pissed off because we are stuck with limited freedoms brought about by those few people out there who just can't, or won't, play by the rules.
What we can really do is police the hell out of ourselves, and make damn sure that our kids grow up with a basic understanding of what is considered civilized behavior. I honestly think that back in the 60-70's is where the civilization train jumped the track, and the anything goes FTW attitude that replaced it and peaked in the 90's is the harvest we are now reaping.
But, that is just my opinion....

You guys with these wake board boats need to dig real deep and pull your heads out of your A$$ s!! That doesnt mean all of you guys but this one in particular and a few i have come across. One of your fellow boaters decided to plow by a bunch of us floating at blythe and almost sank two of us. I am not sure this guy is on the forums but if he is would you please tell me what a place diverter feels like when you are about 30 feet behind me?
Most those guys don't have a clue. Or they don't give a shit. It's the new generation of punks.

I am not sure of your guys boating laws,but in LOTO you have to idle with in 50 feet of any boat or dock does it happen hell no.We have a dock on the lake(really its a river) and the dock is in the wides part of the cove people love to ski tube and wake board in the cove and turn around right in front of our dock,I have hull hugger pads and 6 bouys to keep my boat from slamming into the side of the dock.If the wake is not enough just think about the huge ass double up when they turn around.EVERY boat I have owned has had some damage from this.Thoes Crownline deck boats are just as bad at putting out wakes.
So if any of you guys read this that boat at LOTO around the 80 mile marker in turkey creek give us a break and turn around at the end of the cove and stay away from us swimming around the dock 20 feet is not far enough.

Jake, you don't use auger poles to tie your boat off? Put 4 of those puppys in and there is no way your boat will hit the dock when tied off. Also it takes all the stress off the dock as the boat's not tied to it.

What gets me is that when teaching people how to board, they utilize the wake enhancing devices. When in fact that just hinders a persons ability to get better at getting air, for the reason that they don't learn how to "pop" off the wake.
And yes, there are many people on this website that have NO business driving boats. It's not just everyone that does not frequent here.

Actually One of those wake board boats just about sunk us 4 weeks ago. Thank god it was not too rough out on Lake Mohave or we would have been fish food. The amount of water that came over the bow was huge and it hydro locked the engine.

How do you come up with this crap ???
That Mastbater only runs 60mph how in the hell can you even make a claim like that ??? My boat Stock ran 68mph !!!
By the way if they are showing lots of tail and racing they are not smart enough to win. Top speed on most of our boats is acheaved at 4' tail.

Jordy I think they pulled the plug to fill it with Ballast it probably still runs as long as the scoop stays above water ? Once it gets on plane the wake will be awsome . Below the water line exhaust is also a plus all it needs now is a tower and racks :crossx:
