"I hope you are not suggesting that the wake lifted the boat over the top of the pilings."
No. All you have to do is lift it off the stringers (which would only take a 3' wake), it could then move fore or aft so all the weight is balanced on just one stringer then boat and lift are coming down. Up near Palm Coast is probably worse. Those docks are less than a foot off the water. When I bring anything other than an express through it's usually done at about 4 kts. to avoid doing exactly that or busting up docks.
