I dont have an inboard. I have a 19' bass boat. I will stand by my statement. I dont care what others report or say. Winni has never seen 8-10' boat wakes. 3 of the most dangerous areas for boat wakes on the lake are out in front of silver sands, the mouth of Paugus bay infront of Weirs beach and the stretch of water from Alacoya(sp) beach to Ames Farm. I fish those areas regularly. Boats pass to all sides of me. I have never been capsized. I have never seen 8-10 boat wakes. BTW how close would the 2 boats have to be to cause thisalledged 10' wake? I would guess so close that a 3rd boat would not be able to be inbetween them.
Boat wakes can be affected by many things. One is the slope of the bottom of the lake. the quicker it rises, the lager the boat wake . So a boat that will typically produce a 1-2' boat wake can produce a bigger one if conditions allow, but never 10'. Ive been on the Hudson river when a barge goes by. It will literally suck the water right out of a creek as it passes by. 1 minute your in 4-5' of water, the next your on dry (well actually wet) land. I have also been out in the main river 50-100' from one as it passes. Its wake is about 2'
