Many years ago I was down in Islamorada .

A Cary 50 was at the docks and heading out. The engines were probably just mildly warmed over 420s, nothing like the engines guys are running today. But one after another firing off with each one being coaxed with a lot of throttle to keep the cold ones running until all 4 were happy was way cool back in the day.

I always warned people directly behind me.

Once I put in at a pier and there was a mother with her 2 or so year old child. They ended up just behind and to the side of my boat when it was time to start it. I told the mother that I was starting my boat and it was going to be loud, so they may want to move up a little. She stated it was fine.

I started my boat and the poor kid jumped out of his skin and started screaming and crying.
