I don't think its actual prop wash as more of a small wake as the engine is not totally raised out of the water. Second, look at the angle of the engine cover, it appears to be higher in the back than the front again an indication that it is raised, thirdly there is no one onboard, at least that I can see. And finally, if you look really closely there appears to be a line from the sailboat to the powerboat.
OH, hang on a minute. It's not that the sail boat is towing the power boat, its the power boat is pushing the sail boat.

No the powerboat in the rear is not following that close it is being towed by the sailboat. Probably going to see a lot more of this as gas prices go up. REPLY Why is there prop wash showing behind the power boat if it is being towed. They ar not going fast enough to produce a rooster tail.
