Don't worry about it .You are not missing anything. A few think you are. Kind of boring video other than a real nice boat.

I understand your position, respect your opinion; HOWEVER, I completely disagree with it. That is the beauty of this website, multiple people can watch the same video have completely different perspectives on how to operate a boat. I think that video shows an owner/driver enjoying his boat, nothing more, nothing less. As for the other boaters he passes, so what, that is boating. If a small boat was anchored in the channel, then the operator needs to give a wide berth, or slow down, we are responsible for our wake, but that factual basis does not exist in this video.

I have zero issues with his operation of that boat. I have been in hot-rod boats since the day I was born, my father had a 16' Carlson tunnel boat with a Mercury BP 125 back in 1965-1970, and all these other boats from 1970-2014, Donzi's, Cigarette, Pantera, Magnum, and 90+ mph 34' Phantom , and I drove them all starting at six years of age and on, and owned Boston Whalers and a Donzi too (myself) so I have a little experience under my belt, not that makes an expert, nor do I know it all, but the way I see it, that boat owner operated his boat just fine, made a turn without a problem based on my thousands upon thousands of hours of boating experience, many as driver, some as a navigator/passenger without accident. Then again what the f*ck do I know, I am just another guy on this site, not better, not worse, just an equal.

That is my perspective, I understand your position, I respectfully disagree, Merry Christmas!

PS I really think that the only reason that this thread has such string opinions, and 7 pages after two days of being up is that people are bored at work, bored at home, it is the pre-Christmas boredom, nothing to do syndrome. I flew to Florida on Sunday, down here visiting my mother for the holiday, in southwest Florida (Rotonda) no boat to use, this is worse torture a boater can through all of this water to go boating, no boat, this is just torture. I am not buying my mother a boat, hell I need a boat!
