I also offer to take anyone who wants to for a pull. That usually helps them to understand too.

The manager at our lake has brought up the idea of banning wakeboard boats due to shore erosion. (The lake is a small 300 acre private lake). This is really a political manuever, aimed at one of the board members, who is president of the ski club.

There are only 4 or 5 true wake boats on the lake.

Has anyone fought this before? What defines a wakeboat?
Is an I/O with a tower a wakeboat?
The guy in his 23foot sea ray dragging his kids in circles is the tube is making big wakes.
I'm worried about the slippery slope this is going to create, they are going to go after the stereos on the wake boats next, that will lead to a DB level that neither of my boats will pass.

It is an older community with lots of retirees, most of whom never use the lake, if this comes to any sort of vote, the pontoon boat crowd will outlaw all the fun. There will be HP limits, size limits, DB limits, etc.

I've googled this problem, and the lakes that address this problem ban any "wake enhancing" device, whether or not it is in use. If your boat is equipped with ballast tanks, or a wedge, then it is not allowed on the lake.

I think the best defense is boater education and courtesy. Also the bylaws require waterfront property owners to install and maintain shoreline erosion control. Most lots have no such protection, even on the main channel.

Any advice would be helpful.

You need to contact USA waterski and have them send you their book on this type of thing.

Don't let them put any small rules on or they will continue adding to them.

And adding, and adding, and adding.

On the up side I have seen quite a few more inboards on the lake this year. Most of them being Maliblues. But hey.
Down side. Some "guy" pulling 2 tubes with his newly acquired SAN came ripping through a bunch of us parked. He was following some guy in a Lund doing the same thing. I cant stand the Zig zag, mirror oblivious crowd.
