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 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..
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..

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.
