I disagree that larger boats are just to impress people.
In 1995 I had a slip at Mountain View and my home was 100 miles away. The commute was getting old. I sold a 25 foot cuddy cabin and bought a 34 foot flybridge cruiser, mainly for sleeping room and air conditioning. It enabled us to spend every weekend and some vacation weeks at the lake. It was as close to having a waterfront home as I could afford at the time.
When I was financially able to afford a home on the lake within two months I sold the larger boat and bought a 26 foot bowrider.
From my point of view, the biggest wake problem on the lake are wake boats. Last Friday one of them went up and down about 150' in front of the house creating waves that washed over my seawall. The erosion and stirring of sediment are a real problem.
