GF has no problem with speed but when it gets bumpy she can't get comfortable, on the other hand my youngest daughter ( early 30's ) has grown up boating and is a very good copilot

Hell I do not have anything that will even go fast enough for her. She wants me to get her a ride in a Skater or what ever that will do 150 at least. I do not even want to go that fast on the water and kind of fear if I did get her a ride in someones 150 mph boat.

The fastest I ever DRIVEN a boat was 134.5 mph but it was not my boat.

My wife loves it fast and rough, slow and easy, pinned against the dash, on the kitchen counter, etc.

My wife does not like speed one bit. To give you an idea, on her first poker run she sat on the floor in the back..... gasped over every wake. She couldn't even see anything.
We never broke 50. Everyone else was gone
First and last poker run for her. She didn't complain, but the run was a bust in terms of running the boat.

Nope


She likes to cruise at around 60 or so and relaxing usually. She has been on board for some fun stuff though.


143mph

I don't remember my wife ever telling me to slow down. But, I know I've scared the chit out of her on more than one occasion. My kids love going fast and don't care how rough it is.

My wife had no issue going (really) fast when we were younger. Her first ride was an infamous 125mph Fountain. She really liked the sit down boats and had no issue at 140+ in an MTI all weekend long. All that stopped when the wrecks started and kids came. Now I can't get much above 50 and she has a death grip and really isn't having fun.

My idea was to get her more involved. I set my little boat up with center throttle and sit down seats thinking she might enjoy splitting the duties. We're working on it...

Wife does not like going fast. When she asks how fast we're going I point to the oil pressure gauge.
