I believe a high performance boat simulator is doable.However,based on the number of viewers there have been to this thread one wonders if there is a need for education at any level.

Thanks again, respondents to date. I'd like to keep this thread alive a little longer and would value any input you may have.

Lot's of good people out there that I'd love to have for an hour in my boat to pick their brains and learn something. The problem is this passing of knowledge in this industry just does not happen.
