we do alot of poker runs and walking the decks barefoot is preferred. the backs of boats are all different some have no where to walk and then you might have water and exhaust soot then you track it to the next guys clean boat. I have never met a boater who would rather you walk on his interior than fiberglass.

X-Formula rep Vic Spellburg, jumped on about 7-8 Formula customer boats while rafted up at the docks in Milwaukee 2005 Windy Run, with his deck shoes probably full of stone grit from the concrete + gravel dock wall.

He slowly trotted across everyone's nice shiny bows - What a MORON

+1. Not all, but a lot of women have no clue about boating etiquette. Most of it is just ignorance on their part cuz they don't know any better, but you need to watch out for them. Generally they'll be the ones to get all sloshed and spill their foo-foo grape, strawberry, orange, or whatever color drinks they're consuming all over your boat. Noticed no one else has touched on this, but as a boat owner you do need to keep your eye on them....plus if they catch you staring at them you can just say you're looking out for your boat

Ladies....removing ones top before crossing the boat is considered good form. My 2 cents
