Wisconsin and Vermont are trying to tackle some of the problems wake boats cause

[smokepoles]

I don't see any mention of how the zone is to be outlined on the water, nor what the penalty might be if violated. Just setting a distance from shore will have as much success as our distance from other boaters rule - largely and often deliberately ignored.

Do search for 'vermont wakeboat regulations' and you will find more info that I did not completely go through including hour presentation from regulation agency.  If I recall correctly there are 50% or more lakes that will have no wakeboat towing so should not be hard to enforce.     https://dec.vermont.gov/watershed/lakes-.../wakeboats

Here's another wakeboat regulations indicting that precedent are there for regulation to limit their usage pending public support.
