The OP seems to have the resemblance of this OSO legend.

But according to some mods his IP addy checks out.

Just wanted to know a little about the different boats that you guys have. That is all no hidden agenda.

We enjoy driving our boats fast. It's fun and it satisfies a need for speed or adrenaline or something that a lot of us have. It also makes it much faster to get to an off-shore destination. I often cruise to Put-in-Bay which is 80 miles each way. It would take hours in a cruiser.

Pretty simple for me. Wife hated the race car and loves to boat. I said if I sell the race car we are getting a bad ass boat! Now I have my hot rod on the water and she gets to wear her bikinis and go boating!!

A street race car can get you in big trouble. On the Great Lakes I can legally go as fast as I want, be as loud as I want and race other boats if I want.

No I guess that was the answer I was looking for !! Coast Guard doesn't mess with you? Are you ever at PIB?

The Coasties have been very good to me. Just have your paperwork and proper equipment. If you are wearing life jackets you are already on their good side! I like to go to PIB several times a year. Sometimes for overnighters and sometimes just for a $700 lunch run.

Yeah, but those hrs would be a blast! I must be getting old, the journey getting there is part of the fun. Not sure whats better, getting there faster either by yourself or 1 other couple, or getting there later with 5-6 other couples.

Don't get me wrong, there was a time I'd answered the go fast way hands down, but now........

I love the drive there too and we usually take a break at Detroit and another break at the Detroit River Light before the final run across Lake Erie, which can get interesting in a 22' boat. I can see how partying in a cruiser could be fun but for me it's about running as fast as conditions permit.

With my 47, I can do both...
