That's because you hardly make it out in the Sound much anymore.

i dont think its happening this year to be honest. at this point i still have a good month worth of work to do on it, and i would rather take my time and do everything the way i want it done over the winter.

That's probably a good plan. Get everything sorted out with 'life in general' and take your time doing the boat right. The water will still be there next year and I'm sure you'd hate to cut corners and regret doing something half azz after going this far with it...

Rip the unused drive off and make it a single screw pig. You know my number if you guys want to get out.

Every single boat coming the opposite direction stuffed going into his wake, some of which were 30'-35'+ boats. Luckily there were no small boats around at the time and everyone else was going slow so no real damage was done, but I couldn't get over the ignorance of this guy... Yet we are the ones that get the evil eye from the marine patrol and fellow boaters! I don't think three of our boats together could throw a wall of water like this guy was throwing! Sadly, we all see this over and over...
That's exactly what I posted last week, same exact thing except he passed (overtook) me and the wake ran me over. Whether disregard for everything or just ignorance I was beyond disgusted. It helped set me at ease a little that I watched a different guy get pulled over for it tho
