Boy someone gave you a load of bad info

The small Arneson camp is in denial....

So you own a boat with arnesons

All Surface drives have a slight learning curve as compared to an IO BUT their characteristics are easily adapted to...and the benefits far out weight any short comings. PLUS ask SUT30 I could run in real shallow water lol

yeah,thanks,,cleaning sea strainers sucks.And I forgot about your kaamas,,you could back or dock your boat w/ absolutely no problems at all.no if you just didn't rev your boat in salem,,we may have been let go.

OK - what happened in Salem?

tied up(5 boats) to a federal parks pilons to have lunch,,well that got cut short when some one came in asking about the boats tied up.we get there and theres water patrol,park officers and locals.almost got away but some one started there engines up and reved them.
oh,,and the salem press showed up.me,,no registration or id on me,,left them in the truck(didn't have to pay for lunch,haha),gave us tickets for criminal hearing.I idled out on 1 engine
made a call,got the sit down and paid $50 each,saved my friend who almost had a warrent issued on him.
just a fun day on the water.

Thanks for the replies

You won't be able to get on plane. If you somehow manage to, you better hope it's smooth because they can't run in the rough. If you actually make it to your destination you will run into the first dock you come to. When you jump in to check for damage you'll lose a leg. When your kid jumps in to help he'll likely lose an eye or an arm. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Actually the government is working on a Federal Mandate to outlaw all Surface drives because of their record.

Also might possibly do a Statewide sweep of owners required to turn the drives in or they will be jailed and the drives and vessel they are attached to will be forfeited to the federal government .

Many marinas have already posted No Surface Drives signs around the docks because of the overwhelming loss of property from people trying to Dock those Monsters.
