You will have to be the one to give it a push to get it going and then jump on the tube. lol

Not to hijack the thread, but how's the Bies running?

Runs great but a bit scary out on the water where I live (as you know). The way the transom is rounded (and the rest of the boat for that matter) I had a cabin cruiser go by the last time I was putting it on the trailer and could have easily lost the boat if I wasn't super diligent about wakes. Its not made for hopping waves that's for sure. I'll have to take it down to a friends in Delaware where they have nice flat long rivers to run on to see it really go and to see if its set up right.
The main objective is for now is to get it ready for the boat show this spring. Just got done restoring a period correct Morse controler for it along with a new chrome Alt to dress the motor up a bit more.

You must be talking about the Nanitcoke River. I like the Choptank River (a little north west of the Nanticoke). I took these (or my friend took them of me) on the Choptank on the section without a speed or noise restriction.

Wow cool. Never seen that done before. I guess they won't have to worry about it sinking.
