I've noticed that on the Columbia, also. There is a *small* tour boat (200-300 tons?) which runs the stretch from Portland, OR to the mouth of the River (ca. 150 km) that puts out more wake (sometimes) than large freighters. Watched some friends get swamped over a shallow bar one day. Pumped waves into their open cockpits and just sunk 'em. Funnier than hell!
