big boats can't control the wake size. Unless they go headway speed or a little over. so what are you thinking all the big boats go real slow. that isn't going to happen. if you have a 37 ft boat your wake is going to be bigger then a 22 ft boat. You really can't control your wake size. but you can control your speed w/out a speed limit. ALL it takes is for you to think of someone but yourself.
I have a 19 ft bowrider and it handles rougher water ok. I don't have a problem with large boats. It's the boaters who don't know how to trim their boat so that they are not riding bow high and throwing an enormous wake, usually in fairly close proximity to another boat. Someone else said it can be expensive to bring a big boat up and down of plane, and I undertand that. It's just the people who don't seem to know how to trim their boat, and throw a wake much larger than required. Not only does it take a little away from the boating experience at that time, but also doesn't help nearby shore lines. That was the only reason I mentioned the wakes.
