Does your wife or girlfriend like it when you put it to the dash and let it really eat? I can say my wife hates going fast. One daughter 10th grade is ok and my youngest 7th grade daughter loves it. I wish I never showed my wife the Freeze Frame videos when I started racing lol.

The wife would be just as happy cruising along on a pontoon boat but, she definitely has fun when we open to boat up during poker runs or short runs. We will find out this summer how Owen will like it.

My wife had been riding on the rear bench for a couple seasons, leaving the passenger bolster to friends and brother-in-laws (completely different classification; if you have one, you already know). We ended up in stacked 2s and 3s on LSC this summer and it was only about 60-65 degrees. Dropped the passenger seat, made her stand in the bolster, promised her an extra chicken wrap when we got to the restaurant, and put it to the dash. Since then, if it's not dead flat water, she directs guests to the bench. As long as there's good food or a tanning opportunity at the end of the ride, she doesn't complain.

My wife, Darlene, hates it when another boat passes us in a Poker Run. I am a lucky guy.

On little to no drinks for her it's go slow (50 to 55) and 2 foot or less water, then there is a lot of drinks for her and its sticks down trim up and let it fly Any thing gos. It just all depends.

Yvonne absolutely loves to haul azz. See her run the Shootout for proof.

Now that I let her drive the Skater she is always ready to roll. She is now starting to complain a bit about losing acceleration when we go to 700s from the current 1150s.

Here she is one the wheel for the first leg of the Skaterfest run in August.

Hey Greg, looked for Yvonne at the Orlando shows but must have missed her. She does a great job with the Skater.

My wife absolutely hates flat water, the bigger the chop the happier she is, I'm pretty much the same way. The PowerPlay was the perfect boat for us.
