I am still confused. Are you saying in Florida where you boat, that all vessels travel at wake speed, 5 knots or less, in unrestricted speed channels?
I think we are I agreement.

But in narrow confined channels like much of the ICW, even in unrestricted speed zones, reasonable passing speeds and wake sizes should be the norm based on common courtesy and safety.

Even though sadly they are not at times.
