Although ALL boaters should know the 'rules of the road' before setting out, wouldn't a sign at the ramp noting the no-wake zone as well as the 150' rule be helpful? (removes ignorance, no cure for stupid)
With the Lake above "Full" some boats are tied up above the boat docks deck. The resulting wake from these hotrodders is going to damage some boats if we don't observe the 150" rule. Slow down until we get the Lake level under control.
