#1 do u go out fishing a lot? answer is.... y yes we troll at about 80.... #2 is it yours? and the best I have ever heard came form a girl my wife works with and that was.... dose your boat have a bottom????? really :angry-smiley-038:

Haha good point probably would have

[ATTACH=CONFIG]509913[/ATTACH]

the best question ive got yet is " does that thing go under water?" been asked this twice at Arkansas gas stations.

the other good one was a toll booth in Pennsylvania a lady ask "are you guys on some sort of rescue mission?"

"That boat don't even have "Rod Holders". I reply sure it does, Heated Rod Holders!

Under water really? Wow

after reading this thread and having a couple of good laughs I can only conclude that most people are idiots, oh wait I already knew that.

I get the typical gas and speed questions, but the best was this summer at the dock at St. Clements island. My fiancé and I come in to see the church, and it's all fishing boats and jet skis. 2 very nice, but not so smart gentleman grab our dock lines and tie us up. They ask about the motor, I say it's a 548 ci Chevy. They look confused, horsepower? About 700. Then the younger guy proceeds to tell me about the eleventh thousand horsepower small block he is building for his caravelle, that's nice, that's my boat in the water that I drove here, good luck with your build. We leave, he tries to run me on his jet ski and fails miserably.

I've been told that's nothing but a big ol boat that a Skeeter or his jet ski can beat . Told him I don't waste my time or fuel racing lake lice and if I do see you in front of me your going to the meat grinder . :angry-smiley-038:

Had 5 different people ask if it even has a muffler. They were all sailboaters........go figure

"How much does that hold?" 300... "Wow i thought $50 was bad." No 300 gallons... "How long does that last, most of the summer?" Hopefully all afternoon...

1. How much gas that thang hold? Me.... Well on my 5th swipe and still pumping......... Jaw drop.
2. You race? Me... Sure do! ( to the next bar against my self )
3. What do you do with that? ..... Me ride, make noise, tinker with it, love it, clean it, look at it, ride some more,
4. That' boat is useless you can't fish out of it right ? Me ... Yeah that boats at the house ( with a grin on my face)
.

Is that a sail boat?

Oh, its not, are you going fishing today then?

The number one question I get is " Is your boat sinking?" I say "yes" and just walk away!

I get a kick out of the faces people make!!!

"What kind of boat is that?

Me.......Superboat

"I never heard of them"

I can see getting this question from a non-boater, but I get people with Bajas, Formulas, Fountains, etc. ask me that.

I get this all time (on land boat hasn't even seen water yet).
Them:how long is that thing, got to be 38/40 feet long?
Me: nope only 30'..
Them : no way your boat is 30', my buddy's Fountian is 35' and your boat is longer than his....
Me::lolhit:

Funny, after being asked "how fast does that boat go?" and I answer, their reply is always, "On the water!!!!!!!"

I usually hear, How fast is that? then usually followed up by my friend has a 89 38 scarab with 454's and blowers it run's 100 but in the ruff water run's 110.. :lolhit:
Or can you fish on that???
Or how much gas does that hold and how long does it last for? When you say a few hours you always get a reaction..

How fast is that thing.......answer......my buddies boat goes 95 I thought yours would be faster!!! self restriant to not punch square in the mouth...TUFF!!

The snowmobile hobby is the same way.........you always hear some assclown in the bar talking about his 120 mph ten year old claptrap that wouldn't really run 90 on it's best day. You can't even argue with that kind of stupidity, because you will never win. People ask me all the time how fast my turbo Arctic Cat is and I just smile and say I don't know, maybe 100. (it has been 129 on gps) and then I sit back and listen to all the bull****. Same with my Fountain. Pop the hatches and people see 3 motors and they all think you must date or be married to a girl with the last name Shell or Exxon, then they tell you about their buddy with the Rinker that goes 85 with a small block.

:lolhit::lolhit::lolhit::lolhit::lolhit:

1000 islander you are so right on the snowmobiles. Every 800 can do 110 mph all day. Lol
I like filling my saddle tank when people are talking to me at a gas pump and say , "see it only
took 25 gallon". I never say there is 3 more. Lol

My 206 Rinker with a 4.3LX ran 86. It's all in the LX... :evilb:

I've been lectured a few times at the pumps between the truck and the boat by Prius driving, tree hugging dorks. I've also had the typical how much gas, how big is the motor, you use that for fishing, what do you do for a living, it must be nice, blah, blah, blah BS.

The one comment/question that I do get all the time is "what year is that?". When I tell them it's an old dinosaur, that it's a '91, they are like "wow that thing is beautiful for it's age". Gotta love those old school Fountains, they still look good.

I get the Baja bit a lot even though it says Kachina right in front of their face, but my favorite response to how fast is 86 on gps but the cops told me I was doing 100+ down the mountain with the brakes smoking. ( going to DS in 2010 via Phoenix. New pads & 1 rotor at the bottom of the pass, Won't do that again. Lol) Randy

What does it hold? 50 gallons?... No sir 200gal. Wow how long does it last?... Sometimes a day.

How fast is it?... 85. That's all?... My buddy has a bass boat that goes 90.

What do you do for a living?... I work in a shop.

The best is when I pull up and use both pumps at same time. You know other people need to get gas too... I'm sorry I am putting in 100gal, and am here every weekend. Do you really think they give a **** about your 15gal fill up? Usually followed by a "your ans *******" then they drive off...

I can not go to the gas station without "how much does it cost to fill it up?" And how much did you pay for it.

I had one guy pull in and ask me "how much did that cost new?" I told him "they don't come cheap, but I bought it used so I saved a ton". He replies, "we'll not to be nosey or nothin, but really, how much does it cost?" I think he about sh!t himself when I told him Msrp was over 300k.

I just don't get why people care so much?

I enjoy the what motors, how big, etc questions because even though they usually don't have a clue what they are looking at they are interested in the machine. Not just how much everything costs.

By the way, you guys all must have lots of cousins because everyone I run into has a cousin that has a bigger faster one. :party-smiley-004:

Ouch!







(Fountain guys...Just kidding)

dont turn the other cheek dude, man up and tell them they are idiots and shouldn't procreate...

tell him its a spaceship, and you're and alien, then tell them you just rolled into town to anal probe his girlfriend, and if it's good possibly take her back to repopulate your planet. lmao

"I don't mean to be nosey dude but I seen you come in here every weekend and fill that think up, if you don't mind me asking what in the HELL do you do for a living" My answer..... uhhhhhhh(dumbfounded) can't come up with a smart ass answer or lie so I tell him the truth. He then asks "what in the hell is that" I just have to walk off shaking my head....

I love the how fast does that thing go questions...I don't tell them a speed anymore(non boater people anyway, they just don't understand, there Smart car can go that fast), this is what I told the last 2 guys... I can't tell you a speed because if it ever got out how fast this thing is my insurance company would drop me like a hot potato, but I will tell you this much, when I do take her out, I get in the bolster and wedge myself in there, strap on these 2 cables that are called safety lanyards, and what they do shut the boat down, if you ever get (and I like using this word) EJECTED, love the look on there faces ( again non boater people) and last I show them my life jackets, I have lifelines and my inflatable one, now we all know the lifelines are better than the inflatable ones, but again the (non boater people) are fascinated by the inflatable one, they can't believe inflates automatically when it hits the water, and after my little presentation, the last guy had this stupid look on his face, and than says holy Jesus that thing is like the space shuttle, its got to be fast, and do you have an oxygen tank, for when you get EJECTED...:lolhit: maybe I better leave the ejection part out of my store..

Just say in case you get an ERECTION which is the more likely of the two anyway ......:lolhit:

I get this all the time at the gas station. Where do you run that thing at there's no ocean around here.

Another one I get frequently... How much does it hold? 2-100gal tanks. Wow! How much to fill it up?... Sign says xxx per gallon, do the math.

The hybrid people with the Obummer sticker are the best. They just sit and leer at me the truck and boat. I actually had an older guy tell me how irresponsible I was for future generations. LOL!

Amazing how similar many of these comments are. I have a feeling it's the same dude driving all around the country F'n with all of us.....
The best comment was from PowerPlay J. Come in and tie up both pumps. Love it.
My biggest problem is I always think of the great responses long after the conversation is over........

Forgot one


It only holds 5-6? Yep... My buddy's wake boat holds 12.... Good for him

Never do it to be a dik. It saves a ton of time at the pump though.:drink:

I need one of those stickers for my boat!

Typical how fast, what engine size I tell them 598 cubic inch you hear them mumbling as they walk away. A few weeks ago the wife was inside getting ice and heard one clerk say to the other he just put more gas in that flippin boat than my check will be this week . She would really blow a gasket if a big one pulled in empty.

I had some lady pull that on me. I thanked her for doing her best to save fuel so there was more for me to burn :evilb:
