I'm directly behind the Mounts wake when she leaves the Weirs, as well as in a pretty good spot to get the wind wave action as well, and neither compare to the private boats. I'll get off my high horse when my beach is dry and I can enjoy it as much as the boaters are enjoying ruining it.
It's obvious by the different damage descriptions that location is everything. I'd bet a 1320 foot NWZ rule would have made a huge difference because not many bays/coves are more than 1/2 mile wide and the folks that live on the broads are already well prepared for waves, or at least get them regardless of boat traffic.
