NYC :drink:

Re: Performance boat school
 

You can do them all. As soon as I get the MTI I want to do one at Grand of course. We'll have a few seats available for others who want to take the class as well.

Re: Performance boat school
 

Tres,
Are you working with Allstate to get rate reduction??

Re: Performance boat school
 

Norfolk, VA.
I know of quite a few who would sign up. I am one of them.

Re: Performance boat school
 

For those thinking about it, plan ahead, at least a couple months, We started two months ahead up here in Washington state and that was not during the busy season!

Re: Performance boat school
 

No I have not, I have been working with the others. Alstate has pretty much pulled out, esspecially in florida.

Re: Performance boat school
 

I have 2 others ready for Grand, just need to get the date set.

Re: Performance boat school
 

One might want to consider doing the classroom portion via webcast (to reach a large group of people), and then have set dates in set locations for the on-water portion of the course. This way you could help a lot more people. You may even be able to work a deal with local dealers to get use of a boat(s) for the on-water course, then you could just fly to the location without having to trailer the boat.

Just a few ideas to consider.

How about doing a group rate for Chicago? Maybe Mark Smith could organize this with the poker run!?!??!?!?!

Keep up the good work!

Re: Performance boat school
 

That might prove to be difficult since your not sure who is really picking up on what is taught. And they have to take a test. I am working with dealers and boat builders, they just need to call me. You have to get through to everyone you teach.

Re: Performance boat school
 

How about austin? :D

Re: Performance boat school
 

Northeast...Either Champlain or Winnipesaukee.

Re: Performance boat school
 

You don't want my thought's on this subject. :rolleyes:

Re: Performance boat school
 

3600cat PM me your thoughts I'd like to hear them

Re: Performance boat school
 

It would be great to have in the NY/NJ area, but I dont think it would go over to well ......unless the Insurance policy permits the students to get to do some driving. Nothing can replace hands on experience.

Re: Performance boat school
 

Tres works with the indiciduals in the class which os one reason why it is such a great course. It will be impossible to give individual attention over the web. Save that for freshman lectures.

Re: Performance boat school
 

Actually I just came back from Austin last week but I will go again. Actually after returning from Austin I had to be right back here to teach a racing school for someone from overseas, and from the flight or shaking someones hand I got very very sick.

Re: Performance boat school
 

I wish it was that easy, But You think about it for just one second, First My Liability insurance would be void. Second Imagine your in my boat with 3 other students, and I let one of them drive and he just turns the boat way too hard and throw all of us out. I would just be bad for everyone. There many students that have taken the class and every single person feels they got more than they expected, and some of them are 30 year boaters allready. There is so much you get from this class. Just ask any one that has taken it.

Re: Performance boat school
 

What is your thoughts?? I will be in your area LOTO and Grand.

Re: Performance boat school
 

I would travel to va. beach to do it aslong as it was before the hampton run so i can learn how to catch BillR. :D

Re: Performance boat school
 

Great !!! If I figure the date, maybe a few would like to sign up or you guys up there can tell me what dates are best for you!

Re: Performance boat school
 

That is fine Dates are important and we need to go inland to a lake, I know you have them.

Re: Performance boat school
 

I'm on a 500 miles of shoreline lake Smith mountain lake.I'll check in to how many i can get and if it works we could use my shop/office to do the classroom stuff.Hope these helps.need anything Tres call me 540-400-5536 Thanks Rich

Re: Performance boat school
 

OK it looks good for Smith Mountain lake How about we do a class on SundayJune 25th and on the water Monday the 26th.
This way you only miss a day of work! :D

Re: Performance boat school
 

That's a good idea!! :drink:

Re: Performance boat school
 

I am up for that!

However, why on a lake? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to teach performance boat handling / offshore skills where there are offshore conditions - like offshore??

Re: Performance boat school
 

I live on the Chain of lakes in Mchenry Illinois if you come up here I am in.
You could even stay and have the class at my house and put your boat on my lift. I have a 15,000 pound cradel lift under roof. From my house just a short 5 mile run up the fox river to Fox Lake. The water level on the river and that lake lake would be fine for you hands on part. I would suspect since I am close to Chicago you could fill up the class.

Re: Performance boat school
 

Tres was nice talking to you.I'm in for sure.I think just the class of atleast 4 for those days is going to fill up quick.might have to do 2 2 days classes atleast.If anyone would like to do the class and needs any info on the area call me and i'll hook you up motel,condo,rentals for the days you would be here.540-400-5536 this's is a nice anniv. present my wife got me.guess i better her she got it for me and thanks. :D

Re: Performance boat school
 

You can count on the SMLPBA for support. I'll be glad to post this through our website and with our members. Just let us know how we can best help.

Re: Performance boat school
 

I am up for that too! What would be the dates? Or what would be good for the others, Anyone else?

Re: Performance boat school
 

Tres, Per our discussion last year, We could easily put together a class sometime in june for Loto boater and our boaters need it bad here, I have the ability to get the conference room at Porta Cima clubhouse for your class and audiovisual needs, I have both v-bottoms and cats for the on water class. give me a call I'm sure we could get 10-20 applicants, thanks Jim midwest performance marine 636 236-4141

Re: Performance boat school

Re: Performance boat school
 

Going to our site www.performanceboatschool.com and doing an online apllication will speed you up and process things quicker or we can fax to you as well. call 352 620-8737

Re: Performance boat school
 

BillR needs no lessons, and I darn sure don't, IMHO..
Great photo opportunity though...
SML needs navigational lessons, not driving lessons. Many uncharted hazards there.

After the deaths this year at SML, a WOT schooling run may not be advised in a Power Boat..

Re: Performance boat school
 

????? Not sure what you are getting at? If you darn sure dont need them , well you must be prety sharp. This school is endorsed by the insurance companies and is designed to save life and teach the proper way of effective handling of new hull designs. You can visit my site at www.performanceboatschool.com And if navigation skills are needed my partner who is a long time top dog in the coast guard may be able to help out.

Re: Performance boat school
 

Give me a break... :rolleyes:

Re: Performance boat school
 

Didn't you use to boat down here in your donzi?So what your saying is since there has been a accident down here at night,that we should learn how to read a chart for nite.guess there has never been an accidents at night down where you at.IMHO I'll take some schooling if it helps me in any water.You should talk to Bill and see why it's being held here.
