SML needs navigational lessons, not driving lessons. Many uncharted hazards there.
If it is a lesson on big water, Bay, Ocean, I would love to run along side BillR, he is a safe boater, that is as long as BillR keeps it below 75... :-)
After the deaths this year at SML, a WOT schooling run may not be advised in a Power Boat..

Re: Performance boat school
I've been boatin since I was 12. I know some things, but I am sure I will learn ALOT from someone who KNOWS how to run (and race) a performance boat properly. I am looking forward to it. Now, if I could think of a way to write it off as a business expense. . . . . . . . .

Mabe I'll learn to be faster than Dockman(whippled) rich.
