I would be interested but not in April/May.

Also looks like the ice is clearing already.

June?

April up here would be early, way too much junk floating to be safe. You often can get on the water that early but you need to be very aware of the junk, not the time for high speed runs. By later in May most often things have cleared out and you would be ok.

I would be interested if it was the hands on course. And yes I could have my own boat there. So how would this work if there was a group of people interested and willing to sign up? I understand there is the "classroom" part of the course, my question here would be how the on water part would work for those interested in that as well.


Little side question, some more info on those 4b Herrings you have listed for sale? Are they right for a Fountain?

June would much better for me. I would even be willing to use my docks for a staging area if that would help.

Hands on is the ways its done. Just you guys agree on a date because the calendar get full easy. in June I have May 30- June 1 or June 15-16.or June 30-July1.

OK people, I have given some dates and Options, Dont wait untill the last minute to start planning a date. The June Calendar is going to be set in these next 2 weeks.

We would have to figure out whether it was in your own boat or "Tres" boat?, if its in our own boats then EVERYONE would have to be able to get there boat there for the specific weekend, what do you guys think?

Been wondering what was up with this.

To start with there is no "Tres Boat", so I am informed, it is your boat or no boat. Something that I was not aware of prior but now understand the reasoning for. Timing for me would make no diff at all. I'm here and the boat is in a boathouse slip in ABay all season. My thought would be his "Ultra" course, but that could be open for discussion here.

My achilles heel here is simply that I would like to know what I get in terms of the "hands on" or "on water" portion of the course for the money it costs. I just don't seem to be able to get an answer on that. For some reason when I ask it would seem that Tres takes my question as some sort of shot at his deal, which it never has been. He's selling a product, I'm just looking for some more info on the product he's offering. Maybe someone can chime in and provide the info. I'd be in if I'm convinced that I can sharpen my skills.

Is there a minimum boat size? Would it be worth it for me to take the class with a 25'.

I have the may 18 & 19 date set for the MI course, one day class room second day in water with your own boat, talked to a few A/T guys about the class and they highly recomend it, the in water portion is very hands on and not easy but I am told it is a must for anybody looking to learn how to really drive your performance boat. I will have my 37 A/T there for the in water portion.
