We got a $90 ticket in Ft. Lauderdale last June from waterway cops with attitude. We were trying to avoid making wake in our 12ft RIB but got waked by a passing faster vessel that threw water over the bow of our boat. We got the ticket!! I figure we were doing 4-5mph. At the time we were being written up, there were much faster vessels passing by, including the harbor taxi, that "were not making wake". It was a Friday afternoon, I guess they needed to make their weekly quota!
