I think "no wake" means no wake.
Rick, I respectfully submit that it depends on the hull. My almost
full-displacement LRC can do just shy of 6k without a wake...my idle speed
is 3k. A Fleming 55 at 6k has quite a wake from its planing hull. And the
shorter the LWL, the lower the speed to get to "no wake."
