Many people might feel just like you do or did, but in the real world on todays waters, at the speeds that these vessels are reaching,... SELF TAUGHT boating skills may come at the ultimate price of life or the loss of someone else. You do not get a second chance to repeat, and reinsure.Driving a 5 ton Vessel that has no brakes and does turn very well over three digit numbers is more near airplane speeds, and requires more than been lucky skills. Our poster has brought up good points and insurance concerns are more than on the horrizon.You never know, He may have 10 years of bad habits. You would be supprised how many people we run accross that are 10 yr vets that do the wrong things.
RACERS have an opportunity to "get lucky" when they push too hard...They have the opportunity to really see what water does to a boat...What it has done to them. And sadly, what it has done to our friends that paid with their lives.
There is a time and a place for everything. If we can not regulate ourselves...You know who WILL.
