If the former, they suck even more.

The answer is no. The boats are basically a modified ski boat. At lower speeds all boats make a big wake, these boats too. If they are just travelling around the lake with their ballasts full They are STUPID!!!! These boats take gas up like they are shots at a bar!!!!
The music, I agree is stupid as well. My buddy's place on a pond has about 15+ of these and they are constantly blaring music around. He has one too, but seeing we are all old and think we are young and aren't good at surfing, we can't concentrate on surfing and listening to music at that same time
