Had an older gentleman come up to me about a month ago at a gas station and ask if my boat was a 22 footer. <facepalm>

10 minutes later came another guy asking what kind of boat it was RIGHT in front of the large "Active Thunder" logo on the hullside.

Maybe it was a full moon?

*hatch up* How much horsepower do those motors make...? *me staring at the 1075 cover* "1100"... "oh nice man"

"Oh my god, that thing is loud, those things are making some power, are those small blocks or big blocks"

"You're telling me there's no cabin, what a waste of a boat"

"Why do you need a boat that big?"

"How fast does it go?"

"Is that a Fountain?" *me starring at the giant "OUTERLIMITS" on the side...

# 1 How fast is it? #2 How much gas does it use/ or hold or money to fill it ? #3 Is your truck on the small side to tow that thing?

I think a great answer, just for the expression on the questioner, would be to tell him/her it's actually a movie prop and it's all just cardboard and glue with some paint.

A gentleman was commenting to me about the two 42 outerlimits having the same boat name on the dock. I pointed at another buddies 37 and said its a real coincidence there actually 3 on on the same dock!

Have heard the gas/fishing/sking, cost thing several times, but a question asked of my friend always makes me chuckle. He had a 42 Fountain with triples. Once while in a tie up, someone noticed it had 3 outdrives and exclaimed Wow! how many motors does this thing have?"

Coming in late one night from a bar had a pretty good buzz on saw coast guard so quick went to the ramp loaded up and tried to get out of there. obviously didnt work lol

first question he asked at 11 o'clock at night was "you guys been out fishing?" I looked at him a little puzzled and said no not in this boat.

Idiots, only got a few tickets that night though lol

Good answer, cause then he might have asked to see your fishing license

1. I tell them it is a 38' Scarab like the Miami Vice boat (if I'm just talking about it and they don't see it and to make it easy for the mentally challenged), They are usually surprised when I tell them it has two engines.
2. I tell them it holds 291 gallons and cost $1200 to fill up (they usually fall over at the point where I tell them how much it costs in fuel)
3. Them: Can you go tubing off the back?
Me. Can you hold on at 45 MPH, that is the slowest I'll go.
4. Does that have a cabin.
5. Them: What kinds of engines, 350's?
Me: Twin turbo 454's ( jaws smack the ground)

Folks don`t seem to understand that Cigarette Racing is just a logo, " where do you race this thing? " I say I don`t and they think I`m putting them on when I say its a family boat..lol
