The Wisconsin DNR does NOT like sliders... I've been hassled many times for having sliders out on the lake. We had one that was 7 feet tall that we designed to sink to the bottom of a sand bar, the DNR showed up within a few hours and we had to drag it into shore. Also there are rules stating that you are not supposed to go within 100' of a structure while driving so they could knock you for that... another rule is that you must stay 100' from shore while pulling a skier and most likely that will be broken by driving in toward the slider assuming that it isn't on a sandbar or somethign like that... like the guys said before if the DNR doesn't come on your lake much and your neighbors are cool enough not to call you in, you might be fine but always remember that anyone driving by that doesn't like the look of it or doesn't like wakeboarding can call the DNR and they will come looking for you and make you take it out. I keep my slider on my lake which is private and has no public boat landing so the DNR cannot even get onto the lake if they wanted to, except if a resident on the lake lets them use their boat landing.
