How fast is it?
How much gas does it burn?
How much does a boat like that cost?
Where's the windshield?
These are the questions I hear the most.

Answers:

100 mph...
Burning gas is cheap...burning engines is expensive.
Boats are cheap...compared to the enjoyment they deliver for the whole family.
There is no stinking windshield...this is a race boat!

And the traditional response to uninitiated first time riders:

Get in, sit down, shut up and hang on.

I like it Tomcat - but you forgot one...

Q: "do you ever have problems with it - I understand that boats are expensive to maintain"

Response: "get off my boat before I throw you off"

CAN I DRIVE IT?

How bout the questions or offers that never get asked:

1. Ill bring the beer
2. Ill give you some money for gas
3. Ill go pay the launch fee
4. Ill stick around and help you get things cleaned and buttoned up.
5. Go get the trailer while I empty the porta pot

I look at things Different.
There are no stupid Questions,
Just people stay stupid by not
asking Questions.

"aint that one of them cigar boats?"

hey tomcat i'll do everything intolerant1 asked for a ride????

Personal favorite that I hear at all the boat shows. "Wow.. Girls must really like these big fast boats Huh?"
Responce: Why else would you spend 300K on a floating piece of Fiberglass?

When I tell them how much a boat like this costs they say, "You can buy a house for that much"!
I reply, "Not In my neighborhood you couldn't".

I've got a bunch of "user" relatives. I'm always being asked, "When are you going to take us for a ride"?

Answer: Sure I'll take you for a ride, it will cost 100 bucks an hour from the time the engines turn over.

I usually don't get asked twice in a season from the same relative.
