Mr Hot Stepper,

Please see pics posted by Mr. DKerns. Evidence of what can happen when you miss the trailer.


You can aim a Fountain at the trailer, however that does not mean it will land on it.
But ........................................... the smart one's do!

Come on. Hours of seat time helps but not with bad habits , I have the hardest time getting the bad habits out of drivers, All I can say is, Self taught driving skills sometimes comes at the ultatimate price or the price of someones life. Famous last words,* I can drive just fine* I dont think you will find one person that didnt get a load out of this course. Safe boating

Hi Tres, Can you give us a breakdown on the cost? Besides you being a pro, I know it cost allot to travel, room board, gas, insurance, that you pay for. Just seems like for the laymen it's expensive. Do sponsers help you out? Might help us better understand. VV

Self-teaching is not good, you afterall need to remember you knew nothing when you started, therefore that is exactly what you will know when you're done.

And just remember if you do something stupid and spill your Mom's beer, she's going to give you one serious a$$ whoopin'.
Thats why the number one boat rule is no open beverages while moving, learned that one the hard way found the boat was so fast that the wind sucked the cans dry and thats beer abuse!!!! And if Mom is still sipping away we'll just have to wait till she's done. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

"I can drive just fine" Isn't that typically associated with a long night out on he town? Would love to take a performance boat course, just can't seem to justify the cost. Quick questoin for you Tres, what is the typical expierence level of those that do take your course?

So are you going to add the new style cup holders to fill the hole?

What are some of the "bad habits" that you find?? (Most Common?) I am not knocking your course one bit!! But I am comfortable with my boat and the speeds that I run it at! However, there is only a couple of people that I will ride with at high speeds................

Like asked above, can you break down the cost of your course? And when the course is taken, what boat is used? Basically, "sell" me your course..........what will I gain from your course that I can not learn from someone else that has been running high speed boats 30+ years and 20 of those in the same hull design that I have????

And the last I knew, we are all human, we all make mistakes!! And I have seen the "PROS" crash stuff too!! Alot of variables in the equation..............
