Damage to the shoreline from powerboats?
Sounds like you better get over it if you're out there a lot in the
water. Wakes happen. Not that other boats shouldn't keep a distance
and slow down at times, I really agree, but you have to expect some
wakes.

He may be referring to the habit some boaters have of making improperly
large wakes too close to shore. You can't change the design of your boat on
a whim, but you CAN often change your distance from shore. It's not uncommon
to see morons cranking down a 2 mile wide lake, 100 feet from the shore.
This is why many lakes have laws about that. It's a matter of consideration
for other peoples' property.

If your neighbor was spray painting his garage on a day when the wind was
blowing the paint mist onto your car, would you just "live with it"? Or,
would you whomp the back of his legs with a rake to get his attention? This
is no different than the habits of some boaters.
