I stopped, took a double take and grabbed the vodka.

I watched that run with my own eyes. It was amazing, no bobbles, no porpoising, just like it was on rails. As much as I hate to admit it, the very next run was a 39 Top Gun that flopped all the way down the course netting an 88 mph speed.. Looked foolish compared to that pontoon.

Its the same reason that most people with nice vehicles don't park them next to the old beater in the Home Depot parking lot... I agree with you that responsible thing to do is respect the right of way. last year I watched a pontoon smash into the side of a boat while trying to beach it. He built up speed to get it up on shore then pulled the dive up, by the time that he realized that he was going into the boat he had to much speed and the motor was up. They are throw away boats and people know that.

My ex-wife's friends/co workers were always the worst. They were all liberals, all had government type jobs, and no concept of responsibility. Effing sponges! never brought drinks or food with them, & one of them asked if I would take them to Chicago (from South Haven Michigan) for the day. My response was sure, as long as you're buying the gas... so the sponge offered $20 towards gas! I told her that was about 10 minutes worth, and Chicago was 65 miles one way, or about a $200.00 round trip. Her response? Why on earth would anybody have a boat that uses so much gas? My response? So people like you can go out for rides with people like me and look cool in the go fast boat at no cost! The ex was pissed at me, but I never had to put up with her sponge friend again.
