If I'm not in the car when it heads for the lake, the wife will leave w/o me.

My wife loves boating too. Our motivation is different. I love the boats, the ride, the performance, all of the gearhead aspects. My wife loves to bake in the sun.
Although she is really quick to call me a ***** if I let someone pass me without at least trying them. Her heckling is what led to me being outrun by a pontoon boat. Granted it was a twin OB pontoon and went at least 75 but I still had to go back and tell all my friends I got waxed by a pontoon boat.

My ex-wife hated boating, but my girlfriend loves it! She even enjoys her duties as my line & fender biotch! 
among other things...

Loves it. Always wants to have a Go-Fast. I am not even sure she'd upgrade to a 40SS.
She would some more "amenities" down stairs (and a little headroom). I think a NorTech 50V would be perfect for her; too bad she married a poor guy!

I am also married to a CRUISER QUEEN . She loves the soft ride of the cat but keeps one eye on the tach and when it starts moving past 4000 she usally starts swinging unless i got a couple brews in her . Hence the ride along rev limiter . ...

My fiancee loves being on the boat, she digged the 21 Sea Ray I had. Shes working on her doctorates so she dosent have much time and hasnt been out on the new boat which is almost twice as fast and 100 times as loud 
. She dosent like the rough stuff and gets sea sick pretty easy but she toughs up and deals with it.
She has two weeks off and told me I had better be planning a trip for us, as long as she wants to go fast I think shes a keeper.
