I guess it has been a few years since I last sat in the commanding seat of a boat with an engine, so we would all be better off if I sat back with a warm Guiness and relaxed instead. Oh, I guess that want work with this boat, eh? Does it have a minimum speed around 30mph?
You cannot be that crazy, with the Mrs and the little Otters, dog, etc, so I guess I trust your driving abilities. Surely you are not worse than the guys with whom I grew up. They use to play chicken with their 12ft, flat bottom aluminum boats which were powered by a 35hp engine, or there abouts.
