About 6 credit card swipes and 20min I am good to go and people are pissy!
That's awesome! Done it. Because of the layout I have to pull between the two rows of pumps blocking four and using one. And using the one on the opposite side of the one I am using for a total of five pumps LOL. As I said I don't do to be a dik. Last station on way to launch and the guys there know me by name.

Q1: What's in the front part?
A1: Sleeping quarters, TV, stereo & a head/bathroom etc.
Q2: How many does it sleep?
Q2: 1 Guy and 5 Chicks; maybe more pending bra size.



As for the gas pumps, both of my fills are next to each other, SB side next to the helm.
I'll pull in tight next to one pump, and grab the hose from the far side and the the near side as well; and stick them in the fill hose.
Then walk inside and look for a senior person to open up both pumps under an open purchase. There are a couple ways they can do it. This is much better than swiping 4-8 times. After 2 swipes, I have my cards shuts down for fraud protection. When you go back inside to pay for both pumps at 1 time, with such a large sum, I usually end up talking my way into a couple free bags of ice or at least a fountain drink.

DUKE, I pray your dad makes it, and if he is that feisty to ask you that just to get a rise out of you I'm sure he will.

I have had quite a few owners of other go fast boats that they THOUGHT were fast ask me how fast I was going when they looked like they were going backwards , I usually knock 10-15 mph off the true speed when I tell them which really gets them fired up, nothing like getting a spank from a Baja and then being told I was only going about 80 when they are already convinced there own boat runs triple digits! (speedos LIE)
