The second is wearing your lanyard while under way. IT IS NOT THAT TOUGH!

A close 3rd is wearing your Lifejacket. Buy a Lifeline and wear it, after the first few times out it becomes second nature and you feel funny without it.

That way, "driving" your boat hard is still risky, that is why we own offshore boats, but at least if something goes wrong, the safety measures will kick in.
Double post.....

x 100. If it were certain members, people would be drying their tears, asking how they are doing, if they are ok, how the boat is, best wishes, prayers, blah blah blah.

Starts with my dad was out of town and his Raptor was in the driveway...........followed by my idols growing up where the Dukes of Hazard.......so I was out at the dirt roads and Captain Morgan was telling me I could jump that berm since after all it is a Raptor...........so the launch was great, the landing was just a bit rough.

Hey the kid might be in a new Farmers insurance commercial!

I agree it is a fine line. Also a fine line even if the talent is there, as boat wakes can be very difficult to read. My point was we all love monster wake jumps, until an accident happens. Then people jump all over the operator.
