Default Bigger wakes?

Yes, there is a bill filed in the legislature to eliminate the 45 mph speed limit. Some really fast boats e.g. Bass Boats make almost no wake at all at speed. Some slower boats e.g. wake or ballast boats make huge wakes at slower speeds.
I know of boats with lots of horsepower that go to FL in the winter and use their speed there for a quick run to the Bahamas, but on the lake, yes, the horsepower is unused. At leas, the outboards are a lot quieter than the big inboards with Captain's Call switches on the above water exhausts. I don't care how fast they go if they're quiet like Bass Boats.
