Okay, so last week, the DNR folks were out in force covering no wake zones. I slipped by as they were handing out tickets. I was following a guy who was going my speed - he got picked up, but his wake was smaller than mine. I had more wake at 4 mph than the guy they pulled over. In this pic, my boat is entering our marina at about 2.5mph. I can't run at that speed in the channel if tides are going out when I am leaving - not enough control or water passing under the stern - especially when windy. So the question is - what does Idle Speed mean?
