Canopy boat questions
 
You guys that run these, mainly V hulls, are you prone to sea sickness/ motion sickness like on a plane or is your mind to busy to focus on it? Have a slight motion sickness issue when down in a boat cabin and the thing is rocking and seeing if it is any different? Thanks

Sea sickness usually only happens when the boat is at rest. Once the boat is moving, people rarely feel sick.

Take a dramamine or wear one of those arm bands

Larry the driver barfs everytime we go on a dive boat, great for attracting fish but makes for a ****ty ride. He has no problem in the canopy at rest or flying. John

I thought sea sick in a canopy boat was when you scared the ***t out of your throttleman or driver lol...........

It most cases it would be air sickness, we are rarely in the water!

Johnny T knows about people getting sea sick in a canopy cockpit. When he and Jamie Foxx where doing one of the Miami Vice scenes, they sent a boat out to retrieve one of the occupants who had turned green.

Radio transmission from the Director:

"J...don't you mess up my Mojo"

I don't think he was talking to Johnny.

i got sick in a canopied race boat last year in OC MD. was in a 24 bat boat, and while milling around in 4-6's plus, with lil or no air circulation in the 80 plus degree heat...i had the dry heave's so bad it was brutal. the race started 2 laps in water was so ****ty the person that was liable for the boat decided to pull to the infield as we had 3-5 inches of water sloshing around in the boat. then i started to get sick again sitting out there in the infield waiting for the race to finish...1st time in over 10 years i've gotten sick.
