"Secondly, I think that the issue of size is rational but not logical. It does not matter where you are on the lake if you pass another vessel you will experience some type of a bump over their wake. Boats make wakes .... It's just what they do."
So a boat is a boat, and a wake is a wake? OK, using that kind of logic, a sphere is a sphere. So what you're saying is: if I drop a BB on your head from a height of 10 feet, it will do the same amount of damage as a bowling ball would.
Yeah, that makes sense!
Hare's a fact: bigger boats displace more water, and that creates larger wakes. There are plenty of variables involved, not the least of which is the speed of the boats, but when all other variables are equal, the bigger boats are going to make bigger wakes. That, too, is physics.
