I'm having a hard time convincing my better half to jump in the old flatbottom. Just mumbles something about "teeth jarring kidney failure". How do you get the wife in the boat?

You take your wife? Just kidding it takes jewelry or in my case my wife only stays on the beach. She is not a big boat riding person

get a jet............. :D
The main reason we have 3 boats is to find one that will suit both of our needs. Mine to have a low profile hull with big block power that has great accelleration. Hers, something that won't hurt her back and break teeth. Oh yea, I also had to make a deal I won't go over 30 with her in the boat. She just doesn't get it that the faster it goes, the smoother it gets.
If we had a flattie, there's no way she'd get in............is that a bad thing? :p

Teach her to start, and drive the boat, but don't yell at her. Whole different attitude after they gain control. Similar to riding a horse or having their own Harley.

it's called TRUST !
Only take her out in the best possible conditions (glass smooth or close to it) and promise not to go over 30 mph then take her back.
Then next time try 35 then 40 and so on, BUT!!!!! if at any point you do ANYTHING other than what YOU PROMISED you will be back where you started. ALONE! This holds true for guy's and gal's too! if you scare them they wont be back! I see this in other sport's too. like snow skiing. take the new guy (beginner)to the top of the expert run and let him go........... then laugh at him later........
Ill bet he wont be back ! and SHE WON'T EITHER if you break
the TRUST!
HOPE THIS HELPS. IT WORKS FOR ME !
GOOD LUCK!

My wife has driven all my boats in the past. She has run a snowmobile over a 100 mph. But the V-Drive Stevens was a little different.....She was a little nervous about it.
So one day at the Lake I let her take my best friend out in it.....:eek: He has never been the same.:D

It definitely is a woman thing. And it also seems to be associated with age. 15 years ago my wife had no problem riding in the boat at any speed but prefered to drive. And she did a pretty good job of it. These days anything over 40 she complains and bitches to the point its not worth it. My 2 girls on the other hand, 21 & 24, can't get enough. They want more speed and have no problem being just a passenger.

Let her drive. My wife likes to drive the flatbottom but doesn't like to ride with me because my preferred speed scares her. As above though my 2 teenage daughters are disappointed unless we achieve maximum velocity at WOT:D

Most people don't like to ride. Gives them that "helpless" feeling. And not much to hang onto.

I hate riding in my v-drive, even if its at 50mph. Driving is no problem, but riding, no thanks. My fiance on the other hand has no problem riding shotgun, whats that say about me?:confused:

In most cases I do the driving before lunch, she does after depending on situation and number of cold ones.

I let my wife drive too. For many years she has been my favorite driver for our Mastercraft ski boat when I'm skiing or wakeboarding, she has a softer touch on the throttle. The two boats drive very much the same.

I got to admit riding shotgun in a v-drive sucks. Speed seems to triple on that side.

Give a younger "HOT" looking lady a ride. When she see's that smile on her face and YOUR'S, well lets just say she'll either go for a ride or there won't be any of that SEX stuff happening. :D

A simple solution:
Leave your wife home and take your girlfriend out who enjoys the same things you do.
