Ok. But I must say that these wake issues is why I will boat in a Mac
26X/M or a Carolina Skiff.
12-16 inches draft. Lead the big boys onto the shoals and oyster flats
when they try to
wake me. Might get a Sea-Tow referral sideline set up to defray

Delicious.

Humorous, but not reality. No one in a big boat is going to follow you onto
a shoal or oyster flat purposely trying to wake you.

Not that I would do it, but it's not unknown for inattentive,
sheep-like drivers of boats - and autos - to follow another
into a hazard.
I'm not proud of it, but I did once sucker another driver into a
speeding ticket.
I had noticed that no matter how fast I went on a lightly traveled
section of highway, some lady just insisted on passing me.
I kept increasing my speed, and backed off just before the crest
of a hill where I knew a state trooper often waited on the other side.
He was there, waiting.
Hey, I didn't force her to be doing 90mph over that hill.
