205' to 225' has been OK on the lake for longer than I've been alive. I don't think it's the size of the vessel that matters, it's the manner in which it's operated.

I bet the weather causes vastly more shoreland erosion than wakes. It's pretty relentless. Look at what all the flooding did. Seems like mother nature can and will do a lot more damage to herself than we ever do.
