do you require your passengers and yourself to suit up with the proper speed gear like helmets and life jackets instead of just head sets??:D
:idea: :sqeyes: 80? 100? 120?

Anything over 39mph and I'm putting the Lifeline on. ;)

DAMN LIGHTWEIGHT! 39.5 Is where I draw the line.

Call me whatever you want, I don't think there is a lightweight when it comes to safety!!! :D :D :D

Depends on the boat I think. Idle is where the life vests go on in the STV. Helmets only when running hard or in the cold.
The Scarab will only run 70, so not needed in that.
IMO.

When do you require the fishing poles to come out of the rod holders?:devil: :D

I was very impressed and even mentioned it when I saw you with your gear on in the STV. :)

And he does that every time too!!! ;)
Then again, when you see that boat at speed, or even ride in it, you would too!!! Not much boat in the water and it gets to speed in a hurry. :)

I have seen him run it in Havi when I was with you and PC. :)

Kind of depends on the boat and the situation. In my Carrera, I won't run more than 80mph with more than one passenger. I will usually run 100-105 with one other passenger in the boat. Typically at those speeds, we have vests on. Anything faster than that, I am the only person in the boat and I have on a lifeline.

I might have rod holders, but they will never get used by me. As a matter of fact, come the upholstery redo...they won't be there anymore. :)

Why thank you Dia. :) Actually, that's why I bought the hi-perf pleasure Lifeline rather than a full on race jacket...no excuse not to wear it.

The 40 has weak bridges between the rest stops, so I usually put the life jackets and helmets on for that stretch, even though I'm only running about 85-90! ;)

Anything over 130 in the Skater. We have 5 Lifelines in the boat. I always have my safety lanards on though.

I need to start enforcing Life Lines in our boat above 80-90mph. We have them so why not use them.
I personally am not fond of going over 75 anyways. :jawdrop:

I be buckled in at 75. If I am on the throttles, I would suggest you wear yours too. :D
Speaking of throttles, I had an idea for the poker run if it all works out. Mom and Dad can take my boat and I get his seat. :D

If you are on the throttles, we could probably pull Adienne on a tube behind us..:D That sounds good. I'm still in for the sea trial too.:)

The real question should be, at what speed do you put the beer bong down and quit throwing the shocker to the peeps in the channel and put both hands on the wheel???
