Actually I have never seen a federal or state law that did not have the word neglegent or reckless in it as far as wake damage goes.
Basically if you are in a speed controlled zone you need to go that speed. If you are in a no wake zone, you need to have no wake, or minimum wake possible for your boat.
If you are in an unregulated area you can use your boat within its operational limits and not worry about wake damage claims.
***Note*** boats over 1600 tons do have wake limits as part of the navrules.
