I don't know if it would be worth it to me to let $3000 stand between me and the boat (if you're really willing to spend the $10k that you bid). It's still a pretty good chunk of money to me but I don't think you would hurt yourself at all at that price.

I'll be the first to admit I am not the best driver, just ask Trent, I have told him many times only put me in the raceboat as a last resort, and even then, put me on the sticks, cuz I aint got the Balls to run it as hard as he likes, and I trust his driving, so I am better on the sticks letting him tell me when enough is enough

I take my wife and kids out in the Pacific in my Panteras. No problem. With my 28 I don't check the weather reports... With my 24 I check to make sure its not BIG. As Rick said, cruiser wakes, wind chop, etc. are nothing to the 24.
I think the "drivers boat" thing may be a bit confusing until you drive one. They're narrow, so when you run them fast, they can be a bit chiney, but more important, they're VERY reactive to trim settings and balance. Just got to take your time and get to know the boat, and always drive within your limits...
Awesome boats. Good luck! Glad to hear its someone who's going to enjoy it.

Skip Barber has a good perspective about finding your limit, but not exceeding it... I'll try to find the article when I get home.
Basically small bites of the apple, gaining competency at each threshold before stepping up to the next threshhold.
