Thread: Wakes upsetting people?

    No matter what, you are responsible for any damage caused by your wake. That can be shoreline erosion or damage to a dock, as well as other boats. The hard part is proving guilt.

    Here a site that really hates Big Wakes click (www.chattanoogaboats.com) . Go to the Inconsiderate Boaters Tab and click it.

    our marina has bouys that indicate the no wake zone. the condor doesn't put out much wake anyway. Don't like waves..stay off the water!

    I just dont understand why people have to drive by at 20mph, bow straight in the air 25' off my anchor line. WTF!?
    the last person that did that to us had to pay for alot of damage .

    Wakes are wakes. But, what pisses me off to no end are the dumb mother f'ers that think the 'no wake' signs dont apply to them. Why do guys cruise through the channel tossing a wake? Get a clue. The worst at this it the dumbass that drives the casino boat from the channel to Havasu Landing. That is one ignorant POS. He rides your ass all the way in and out of the channel. I cant wait for the day some hot head beats his ass in front of all the casino goers.

    Roll-cage boats; don't get it....
    They prolly were waitin' for the water to smooth out so they can make a run down the straight-away.... You messed up "their" water.... :crossx:
    Seems odd that they need flat water to ski in, but need the boat to generate a 1'-2' curl for jumping... :220v:

    And the rollers that the Dream Catcher makes cost me 2 fractured vertabres (sp?) a couple of years ago. He was already at the landing but his wake carries on forever. Also if you boat on the river section of Havasu you must know about the River Boat Tours, if not BEWARE, They are super dangerous!! NSF

    I find is very ironic that the rollbar boats contribute to about 90% of the f*&^ up water. Yet, they wont quit riding in circles. It doesnt make any sense to me.

    In my personal experience in Parker I get water over the back of my boat everytime i go floating. It sucks, but nobody is doing it on purpose. It doesn't matter if it's a 30' sleek, 21' ultra, or 23' Malibu they all do it to my boat at one time or another. You can't get mad though if they are being considerate and not trying to sink you. It's everybodys lake, don't get so butthurt when the water gets messed up.

    Everybody on the river & lakes has the right to enjoy there boats. Boats put off wakes that is just part of the deal.
    With that said it used to be a very common deal for boats to throttle down & let me have some decent water. In fact people even seemed to enjoy watching a 100mph plus pass by a flatty.
    Has not happened to me in the last couple of years. Just seems people are a lot less considerate than they used to be.
    There are no laws & there should NOT be any laws to make this happen.
    Just a little common courtesy would be nice now & then.
    Speaking of laws, aren't you responsible for you wakes??
    100 MPH?????? Lets try 84 mph pal.
