Take a breath, just step away from the keyboard ....

If you need eyes on, it's only 15 miles away; it has a trailer and I has a trailer hitch.

While that's daft enough for me, I think my wife would consider that a good reason to start talking to a divorce lawyer.

Rope steering, a true death machine!

Divorce lawyer? I would think life insurance would work out better for her!

Perfect for my local bass lake! I think it could even carry one pole.

Maybe hang a net off it? You'd catch more fish & be less likely die from a high-speed impact.

I can't imagine running that on any local lakes here with all the wake surfing boats throwing 2' breaking waves. It would be like driving a lawn dart.

That's really cool. I dig it a lot. Speedboating was a lot more interesting 50-60 years ago, now it's all turned into floating dock party barge pontoons.

Pontoons are just the mothership for little wood UFOs like that race boat  Anchor out for the afternoon and take turns make passes in the speed boat

A friend had a 502 Chevy in a Cole pickle fork hydro, now I totally understand the term Eyeball Chatter.

Well, we already have life insurance on me.

Let's just say her family has "history" with boats to the extent that her mother to this day refuses to get on boats anymore.

Basically, boats and station wagons are items I'm not supposed to drag home.

Well, I'd still be allowed to drag home planes if I feel the need for a really expensive hobby.

Those classic Mercs were dead sexy.

I'd be dragging that thing home with a station wagon!

Classic boat race meets are pretty popular in Central FL.  That one would be fun...an Nydahl (string) steering is where its at, way safer in terms of control than any alternative.  With a "deadman" throttle.

I helped my old neighbor get his up and running.  Towed it to the ramp with my Miata track car:

All she's got to do is wait a while and you will kill your self.
