No good for me matey
I have trouble understanding this lot without going over the channel.
Could I have something a bit closer – with big tits.
Something like this would be nice.

I think you may be about to find out that a Mobo travelling at 10 mph creates a lot more wash than one doing 30! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Missing the point a bit. How long will mobos be content to push walls of water around at 10mph, surely a very uneconomical and pointless occupation. The dispacement cruiser will become the prefered choice.
And I can't see displacment jet skis becoming very popular.

In the longer term you are no doubt correct, but your post was implying that all will be sweetness and light when the speed limit comes in. For the next few years, at least, there will be significant numbers of high speed planing craft on the Lake, restricted to 10 mph which, for most of them, will be a little above displacement speed but not enough to get them up on the plane. This will, as you say, be both uneconomic and perhaps pointless, but my guess is that, for the time being at least, there will be a fair few motorboaters with a keen eye on their GPS, going as fast as they are allowed. And generating lots more wash than they do at present.
This is pure speculation on my part, as your post is on yours. We'll see which of us is right in March.
(Don't have a particular axe to grind about this, btw: at one time or another, I've sailed (both dinghies and yachts) and motored, both in powerboats and displacement motor yachts. I love 'em all.....)

Of course they can use them at Easter quite legally. Some skiers are threatening to flout the new law. But that will dwindle when they start getting fined.
The wash problem is as much a result of the Dutch style ferries with their wide flat transoms. The older and larger lake "steamers" are well designed without any appreciable wash.
I too like all boats. I took this of a friend's on Windermere from another classic mobo.
On a nice sunny day it's just too pleasant to get ratty about others. Just enjoy.
