We were on EM one year for 4th of July fireworks viewing... And only one year! The lake was churned up super bad and motor yachts were running all over the place assuming everyone would get out of their way. Our 22' fiberglass deck boat took a large wave over the bow and I thought we were about to be swamped. Didn't try that again!
Prayers for the family... Life is pretty unforgiving at times.

Prayers up, the wake boats should be outlawed because of the damage they cause to docks.

The wakeboats on that lake don't seem to be as bad as the "yachts". Those waves can really sneak up on you and it's scary as hell when you hit one. Sad deal for sure.

Looks kinda like a Hallet style jet boat. They have a lot of weight in the back to be pounding down on big wakes. Don't know for sure but some of those boats had a stringer problem after a few years.

You have never seen a wave until you hit one from a giant yacht. One of those like said on a calm day almost threw me out of my boat on texoma. They create wakes hundreds of yards behind them so u don't even notice until right before

Sad story, hate to see this happen to anyone. The lake is a place for all to enjoy, bass boaters, yachts, sail boats, wake boats and jet skis. As long as they are staying within the laws I don't fault them for enjoying the water.
