Weirs Channel Speed

[travaler18]

I just follow the sighs at either end of the channel(NO WAKE) . IF YOUR CREATING A WAKE YOU ARE GOING TOO FAST !IF YOUR GOING BACKWARDS YOUR GOING TO SLOW---- I really dont know of any boat that can push past 6 knots without creating a wake and Idle speed is a vage concept as not all boats idle at the same rpms and speed for contol.
I pulled this of the net , it was the first site up ,its from s corlina but it gives the general idea
