  Indian  lake  and  Utowana  lake within two hundred feet of the shore, a
  dock, pier, raft or float or an anchored or moored vessel in a manner or
  at such a speed that causes a wake that unreasonably interferes with  or
  endangers such dock, pier, raft or float or an anchored or moored vessel

  ordinances  related to persons operating a vessel within its limits, but
  no such municipality shall have the power to make less  restrictive  any
  of such provisions.
