Both my wife and I have grown up around the water and love all things nautical... But when it comes to boats, that's where we differ in opinion! She's the pontooon type that likes a lazy cruise to look at houses and drink wine. I am a full throttle kinda guy, but still respectful and safe. For me the boat is the "thing" to her its just a vehicle that gets her on the water. Just me talking about boats gets an eye roll. Most of my buddies who own boats significant others are the same way...what's it like for you?

I am also married to a CRUISER QUEEN . She loves the soft ride of the cat but keeps one eye on the tach and when it starts moving past 4000 she usally starts swinging unless i got a couple brews in her . Hence the ride along rev limiter . ...

Opposites do attract , it's true .

I don't think I will win this battle until my kids are older.

but she's just not interested in going for a fast ride
unless she gets a few shots first then she's all for it
she's always up for takin the boat out so i guess im lucky when it comes to that.
