To me it is a lot better to run on by at a safe distance while on plane due to it not throwing as big of a wake but if I can't do it at a safe distance I'll just idle by. I was out today fishing and a guy in a stick steer boat with about a 60 on it was coming right at me down the bank, in my mind I thought I sure hope he speeds up because he was in between a fast idle and planed off throwing a 3 foot wave behind him. Well he doesn't speed up at all and comes in between me and the bank I'm fishing when he had the entire lake behind me he could've ran and when his wake met my 21 foot phoenix I had to sit down it was so rough. In my opinion it's not just the guys with big motors that cause problems. I think it's mostly a lack of respect and the knowledge of how to properly drive a boat.
