Big Wakes, what to do?

While I can't say for sure my guess is that the boat plowing along like that is no where near full or 3/4 throttle. In my opinion the operator is proceeding at a dangerous speed. He/she can't see well in front because of bow angle and the wake they are pushing is a hazzard to other boats.

Again my guess but my thoughts are 1)the operator doesn't know any better, 2)he/she is not thinking or 3)doesn't care. I hope it is item 1 or 2 those can be fixed.

Or perhaps he was just getting underway? The photo captures a moment in time. No way to tell from that what he did before or after the shot was taken. But why let that stop us from stringing him up? He's obviously guilty of something, right? After all, he does own a big boat.
