WWTDOBD? Neighbors expect every boat to slow down when passing their camp

A couple lots down at the camp I have some neighbors with a house boat. They just bought it and they yell at every boat that passes and the son and I got into it a little a few weeks ago when I was coming back in from fishing. Its not a no wake zone and I feel that they should have known that a house boat rocks some when boats pass.
WWTDOBD? Tell him to frick off and continue going 60mph past his camp or putt past him before I get on it?
ETA: I did laugh my arse off this afternoon when ole boy comes FLYING past us in his Skeeter going 70+. Mom, Dad, Son and his wife all come running out with fists in the air

It's not a no wake zone. Nuff said.
Did they even put out their own personal no wake zone buoys?

No, no fake no wake zone signs YET but I fully expect it come this summer when they realize just how many boats travel the river 
I can't wait quote:

Yeah I just hate not to get along with the people that are around the camp but I guess you can't make everyone happy. I'd imagine these people and their camp don't stick around for long.

The personal no wake zones are funny. I respect them slightly. Try to stay away because it's an issue supposedly. But again if there isn't a legit sign/bouy what the hell do you expect.

Measure 60 mph wake vs 10 mph wake yore welcome

Slow down to half throttle so your wake is even bigger.

That was my other point. There is not much of my boat in the water at full throttle, hence not much of a wake. At half throttle there is three times the wake. Crappy people that think they are special make me

Sounds like they need a hoist, or at least some proper fenders.
I'm IN a no wake zone and we still get assholes and idiots flying by.

Here's what you do since they are assholes. If they weren't assholes, like a nice elderly couple, I wouldn't suggest it. Anyway, get at least 3 people in your boat (the more the better), make everyone get in the back of the boat, ride by at 18-20mph. That will throw the biggest wake.

I think you a big a-hole and you should slow down for this lil fellas houseboat even thought you no he should have known what he got into on said canal. That guys son may hand it to you never no cause you cant judge a book but what do i know

Not canal, main river. And you type like ole boy talks. Where's your floating camp at?
Posted on 1/19/14 at 6:55 am to shawnlsu
IF they are two lots down from me so basically neighbors and I am close to my camp anyway I slow down to keep the peace, and let everyone else piss them off and sit back and watch while drinking beer.

Call the game warden and let him know they are threatening people.

Like has been said already. Since they're neighbors I'd keep the peace all the while stoking the fires between them and other boaters. Drink beer and keep video camera close by.

Slow down right about the time they run out, drop trolling motor and troll over and start casting 1oz Mr Champs at their grill. Every time you hit it, yell, PewPewPew

If your camp is that close you're going to be slowing down soon anyway, why not do it 30 seconds sooner. I passed on one camp because the neighbors were azzholes, it can ruin your frame of mind.

They can't expect people to do that. I'd come throw there half throttle.
