WOW...

You are absolutely lucky the lake is pretty full.... usually when you let off the throttle on the wrong side of a marker you hear a VERY LOUD BANG as the boat settles in the water...

The best course of action when on the wrong side of a marker is to keep going and get back to the correct side (deep water) ASAP... a boat on plane draws alot less water than a boat at idle....

Glad you, your boat and your wallet all came out unscathed!
