That's a description of experience in 5-6 footers on the West Coast.
99% of pleasure boaters, including me, won't normally venture out when
prevailing conditions create 5-6 foot windwaves. With this experience
and similar frames of reference, it's hard to visualize 7 footers
springing up unexpectedly with wind speeds of 10-15 knots. Maybe the
laws of physics are different on the East Coast, or maybe the
unfortunate crew with the new boat overestimated the height of the
waves.

I know nothing about west coast boating or the effects of wind or storms on
the near shore line. I do know that the Northeast sea states are seriously
affected by the near shore bottom topography, relatively shallow water
extending many miles offshore in some areas and the irregular, rocky
shoreline profiles. Sea state can vary dramatically, location to location
under the same general conditions of wind or offshore storms.

Ask any recreational boater who, for the first time, travels south on Cape
Cod Bay on a calm, flat beautiful day, transits the Cape Cod Canal then
become unglued as they hit Buzzard' Bay and their whole world changes.

The only problem I see is that your target would live to boat again the next
day. You should be practicing on mannequins.

Don't be so linear Joe;) If you get the guy, you have wasted nothing,
if you miss, you let it drop to the bottom, and fish! Self proclaimed
boy genieous's, Geeze. You got to get on the water more, these things
will just start to come to you naturally, trust me;)

And you probably got a low transom too!

Go over there to see a photo of water crashing over the bow of my deck

Is that a bi-plane lashed to the deck?

When we were along the ICW in northern Florida, not a day would go by
without a couple of overstuffed "cruisers" wallowing on by, tossing off
absolutely huge wakes that would wash up and over the marshes, erode the
shorelines, rock everyone's floating dock and, on occasion, flip some
poor fisherman's little boat along the edges. But we got our revenge, at
least with some of them: just north of St. Augustine Inlet, there was a
lovely sandbar that lurked just a couple of feet beneath the surface
except at dead low tide and managed to give a couple of the oblivious
"capitanos" a jolt.

Seeing boats run aground was a thrill for you, huh? Well, Harry, for most
people, that would be the sign of a psychological disorder, but for
you...well, it's just a 'foible'.

In this case, Harry is correct in enjoying the other boater's misfortune.

I can safely say that being considerate of other boaters involves an extra
effort of EXACTLY ZERO. Anyone who does NOT do it needs to learn, and for
some people, misfortune is the only way to learn.

Or, to put it another way, the only correct set of boating manners is the
one practiced by ME. Anything outside of that set indicates intent to do
harm.

This is not debatable. Isn't that nice?
