A Little Rant

I'd rather have the MoBos go past at a good clip rather than slowly at max wake speed. After all my boat is used to being bounced about in the ocean.

Me too. Often they go by fast and the wake isnt so bad, but when they try to be nice and slow down right behind you, then go by at 10 mph the rolling begins!
Just go by at speed, screw the whiners!

Me three. If they stay on a plane they produce much more manageable wake. Even worse some operators trying to be nice slow down and just the perfect moment that the giant wake created by them coming off a plane hits you.

I agree that a smallish boat on a plane isn't bad. But a 60,000 lb boat can make a hell of a wake, and I'm trying to manage it for everyone's sake.

All the more reason for a quick radio conversation. I've had people ask me to go real slow, and I've had people ask me to maintain speed. I'm happy to do it either way, but I can't read minds.
