300’? It’s 150’ distance for “ski craft” from shore or other vessels unless in tight bays or coves under a defined size. Now keep in mind that a ski craft is also defined as 2 person, most pwc built these days are 3 seaters and this falls under the definition of a boat. In this case, it’s 150’ regardless.

They are pushing wakeboats to 500’. While 500’ still allows plenty of area on Winnipesaukee, it adversely pushes those partaking in wakesports into busier, rougher waters.
