How Big Can You Go?

Not sure if its been mentioned.. Wouldn't the wake from an 80 foot Hatteras do unimaginable damage to shore front and shore front structures that have never seen a wake this large. If this lake ever needed a law it should be one to regulate displacement and speed of such an ego-mobile. Common Loons build their nests in clumps of grass along the shore so picture yourself toppling dozens of loon eggs out of the nest etc..

I doubt it would put out more wake than the mailboat or underpowered cabin cruiser (think Carver)!

Found one ad for a used 80ft Hatteras, 2004 for $2,695,000.
Seems to me you can buy a place on the lake for that amount, and get a nice 30 footer for fun.
Not worth it in my mind.

While I still think this thread was a mega-troll, we do already have some very heavy and large (68', 74' and a 230') vessels on the lake. Don't they operate safely without damage to the shoreline?
