Because of the speaker mounting on these boats the sound travels for miles and the operators seem oblivious to the hundreds of people they are disturbing when they go out to play. Loud music is not a problem on most boats because the speakers are mounted for the people ON THE BOAT to hear the music, and don't disturb everyone else trying to enjoy the lake.

I hoped an attachment of a new ¼-inch stainless steel bracket would keep a Jet-Ski from hitting the dock, but it wasn't meant to be.

HOUSE BILL 137
AN ACT establishing a commission to examine the effects of wake boats in the state of New Hampshire.
SPONSORS: Rep. Suzanne Smith, Graf. 8; Rep. Wolf, Merr. 5; Rep. Tanner, Sull. 9; Sen. Fuller Clark, Dist 21
The Commission is supposed to report by June 30, 2020. It would probably make sense to contact one of the sponsors if you are concerned about wakes, or attend commission meetings.

This is an issue that can be resolved with education not legislation. See http://www.wsia.net/wake-responsibly/ for more info and to spread the word so this great sport, these great boats, great local boat dealerships, NH jobs and many many boating enthusiasts are not stomped on by your state government.

Maybe you should just go straight up to a 3/4" bracket. No sense wasting your time with 3/8, 1/2, 9/16, or 5/8, - 3/4 should do it!!
