Just returned from the Tres Martin school WOW
 

I just returned from ocala fl where I attended The ultra high performance boat school. Tres was my teacher, the class was amazing. I have driven boats for years but after taking the class I feel much more confident about my driving. I can not express in words how important it is to learn these skills that he teach's you. I just moved over to cats from v bottoms. I can now turn my cat and trim properly, which everyone thinks they know but really dont. The class also helps you to understand the hydrodynamics of a boat and how the boat works. This allows you to understand and prevent possible wrecks before they happen. I highly suggest the class for the novice to the so called expert beacuse after you are done you will understand how I feel. Thanks agian Tres for the great class and showing me how to drive my boat the right way, safe and controlled.

Great News !!!!

That is great to hear John Congrats!

.......so, how much faster is your boat now?

My boat is plenty fast but I now feel safe driving the boat at any speed. On the other hand the boat now handles like its on rails, because I know how to steer it properly. :D

I wish his Annapolis class wasn't full:(

So ..... what would be the one thing that you learned that you thought you knew the right way but learned otherwise ? I have heard it's an awsome course .....m

I just won a 2500.00 gift certificate from him. I need to schedule a class

It IS eye opening isn't it.

After 30+ years boating, I learned LOTS!!!!

How to trim a boat properly from a stop to full speed in rough and smooth water conditions, and how to turn a boat properly. Both of these things I was sure I knew what I was doing but I was way off . After you learn the right way on paper and then the next day actually do them you know right away how off you really were.

You would gain a lot from the class since you have a twin step v. They are a lot more complex then people realize.

I know... I saw you coming into the port :D:D

Just kidding .. Congrats on the poker run win

I had a cancellation are you interested?

Tres, I forgot if are you doing this class in a V or a cat? I'm already signed up.

thanks.

Does your cat have any trim tabs or a tunnel tab? Mine does not have any, so the only trimming will be the outdrives.

My cat doesnt have tabs either. There is a lot more to learn then just trim. TRust me it is worth every penny

Do new Nordics come w/ a paid class @ the Tres MartinSchool??

some do and some dont but you can always work it into your deal no matter what you buy

I think more people would attend if the mftr's subsidized the program but the avg boater has to decide between spending $2500 on a class, himself, his boat & or his family.

I'd love to go if someone wants to foot the bill. I tried to organize a school here in NC for my local boat club & the price was the same 1 or 15 & there wasn't any interest in offering a class anywhere but FL.

Bob,
Give me a shout. I think Charlie is working with Tres on putting something together close to us.

My wife Shannon and I took the class when we had the boat in Fl over the winter and it is definitely worth it....

ill buy it off ya!!!








for a case of jim beam:party-smiley-004:

Register early thats all I can say. Everyone waits till the last minute and it cost more in the long run for everyone.

We are using a 14 foot wooden flat runabout with a 9.9 sears gamefisher:D

If you flip your boat because of inexperiance you will not have to worry how to spend that $2,500.00. The class is priceless, the peace of mind is a must, and the knowledge is for your family and people on board !!!

I agree thats why I took the class

If its a pull start ...Im in

Sold for $2499.00
