My point it that most boats now have the speakers that are mounted high or on the back of the boat away from the cockpit. So you can't just pick out one specific boat for the loud music. And I know, people are going to say that "the wake boats go back and forth and don't move on", the Jetskis do the same, at least where I am.
I actually asked the sales guy this year at the boat show if I could get a jetski without speakers and his answer was "I'd have to special order it and wait for it to come in". I would assume for more money too 
Honestly, I hear more of the other boats than I do the wake boats, at least on the broads. |
Given the abundance of jet skis on the lake, in my experience, it's relatively rare to hear them blasting music. Same for toons. The wake boats that blare their music are usually WAY louder than those other boats and, yes, the noise is compounded by the fact that they are slow and tend to linger in the same area (plus, their music is terrible IMO - sometimes profane). It often seems that these folks just don't care how they are negatively impacting others.
I will note that I've also seen respectful wake boaters - see Codeman post 44 in this thread for example.
