So they want to create a law restricting the use of Wake boats. In particular with regard to ballast water.
But please don't make it so that you can't add a hydrofoil to the lower unit of to our outboard motor. Adding a hydrofoil is the easiest way to make an aluminum Fishing boat more stable and safe. These boats are not used for waterskiing or drunken reckless acts.
And I have seen boat ramps that classify a hydrofoil as a wake device and prohibit it. The truth is when you put a hydrofoil on an aluminum boat and go full throttle there is virtually no wake created!!! It lessens the wake because the boat is planing. At slow speeds there is no wake either.
So already we have seen this misapplied.
Now this 600 gallon ballasts a true wake boat fills with water to make it displace more water as it plows forward are a different story. Please learn how to differentiate.
I would not be alive today if it were not for that hydrofoil.
