[lucky]

You get towed in by the outboard you just smoked -- lmao
CALLING TOM ...

Hippy we know that has not happend to you !!!lmao
you carry an extra impellor - and a paddle - :D

[Itsahobby]

When you put a gear drive in your car so it
will sound mor like your boat.
You are tired of hearing people ask you
why your engine is in backwards.
"It's not in backwards everyone elses is"p
You always look guilty when the sheriff
cruises by. Even in the 5 MPH zone.::D
Your boat is always anchored with the
bow pointed toward big water.:cool:
Hobby

[dmontzsta]

When you are the only one in the water at 6am, setting your boat up in its spot.
You cant drive it back off the trailer (for some).
You cant chop through the rough shit.

[LeE ss13]

Oh Idonno .... Ty doesn't seem to mind the rough water and his motors in the right way !!!

never see ya over at don's place posting :( lmao

[lucky]

for your balls ...

[V-DRIVE VIDEO]

You know your not some backwoods mechanic when....
You've never been towed in by an outboard that you just smoked.
You carry an extra impeller and a paddle and have never needed either.
Your boat is set up right and your smart enough to drive it without your old lady's cans giving her a black eye.
You know you have a circle flatty when....
You don't have to be on the water by 6:00 am because your boat can handle nasty water quite well.
Your motor is in facing forward.
The rest of them are true....:D

[lucky]

where's the love

I know. I need to stop lurking and help Art out there.
The ultimate "being towed in" for me, was by some boy scouts in a canoe. I'm just glad someone was prepared.

[bigkatboat]

Your right foot is DOWN, and your left foot is UP! You say the 'racers prayer'. "God please let me go another 300 feet before this thing BLOWS UP"! HA HA HA! "If it had oil pressure when you started, DRIVE IT ON OUT! The object of this game is to have 'more water on the outside than on the inside'. Your choice is to "pick" to 'point of no return', and make the CORRECT choice at the correct time. Those who choose to 'sit on the beach' bask in the fact that the foam on their beer is being 'blown away' by your boat going by at speed. "Those of free will, who pick up the challenge, never let it be taken, but give it up by choice. Adjusting valves, is more important than lunch! Go fast, Stay safe!

[CrazyHippy]

You own 3 sets of gears, and only one prop:confused:
BJH
BTW... What are valves??:D

[Kurtis500]

YOU know your a v drive guy when;
You can change gears in a matter of minutes and be back out on the water,
wacker and jet boaters come to your forum to compare themselves with you.:rolleyes:
The same boat and gearbox is as good today as it was 30 years ago.
The prop doesn't 'unload' in 2+ feet of chop at 60 mph.
finally, you realized that the solution to boating in shallow water isnt to buy a jet boat, but to not go boating in shallow water, period!

[lucky]

KNOW WHO ART IS . LMAO :D

[Infomaniac]

You can identify exactly where the fastener in the bilge came from just by looking at it from 3 feet away from the boat.

[superdave013]

You don't wake her up for early AM sex but you DO wake her up to back your trailer up.

They're just trying make themselves feel better about the $$ boat purchase...they need a little self deception/convincing. BBSP in a remote location?? whats next, a race in space?

[Kurtis500]

WHEN;
You have a 3 speed transmission with a nuetral and reverse!!!!!

[Roman 1]

When....(during the week:frown: or at the drag races on the weekend ) your the quickest, fastest and loudest mofo on the water.
RC:D

[HM]

When: you idle at 10 MPH and wakeless means shut off the motor.

[Roman 1]

Your boat still draws the biggest crowd at the gas station.
2 reasons why... 1st, the average joe has never seen one before and can't believe you've got the sack to drive a 1000hp big block strapped to 350lbs of fiberglass. 2nd, they are all different and no you can't go down to the corner boat lot and see a dosen just like it.
RC:cool:

[Schiada76]

Your neighbors hate your guts for tuning in the driveway.
Your driveway approach has grooves worn in it because your trailer is to low.:D

But that would eliminate the "revenge" factor.
Pulling out for a trip at 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning and the trailer goes sssssskkkkkkkkkkkkkrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnn nnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk down the approach.
That'll teach you fng hippies to call the cops when I fire up in the driveway!!!!!!!:D :D

And then you party all night but can still get up before day light to run the valves by lantern light for 6:00 roll call!

[DUNDUN]

You know you're a V-Drive guy when cops recognize your boat from the other side of Lake Elsinore.. Too far to actually SEE the boat :D;)
Great thread....
BUMP!

[Ex PSI Canyon]

You know your a v-drive guy when...
1. You have your wife convinced that having 4 Beisemeyers, 1 Cole tr-2, 1 Hallet long deck, 1 Rayson Craft Gn parked in the climate controlled garage specifically built to work on boats is more important than a second round of breast enhancement for her!
2. Her car stays parked outside!
3. You have not one but 2 blown injected motors going together
4. Having a seperate 4 wheel drive truck next to the garage so that I can launch off the shore and not get stuck
5. Racing my big ci jet boat friends w/ 2 burnt pistons in my mild Hallett and giving them a run for their money
6.Spend more time working on my boats than I do at my day job
7.You have have owned the best that Jet boaters can own, a Tom Papp Edge with a PSI motor and drive all the way to east Texas to trade it away at 3:00 in the morning for a PGF Canyon because the guy who owned the Canyon said it was way too much for him to drive, he wanted to tone it down a bit by getting the jet boat hull.
8. Put the same PSI motor in the flattie and seeing GOD for the 1st time driving it!
9. Meeting Billy B and the rest of the v-drive guys at Needles 5 years ago and saying to myself, man i'm not spending enough money on my boats I should spend more
10. Phil Bergeron is actually very pleasant to you when you visit him and Brian

[RiverGames]

you know your a v-drive guy when:
-you spend more money on your flattie that you make in a year
-you feel guilty of cheating for riding in a ourdrive
-you have 4 pictures of your boat at your desk and no pictures of your family or chick
-you lower your voice on the phone at work becuase you are ordering parts instead of making business calls.
-the greatest place to pork your chick is over the sparkling deck that you slave on

[RUSSO]

-the greatest place to pork your chick is over the sparkling deck that you slave on
I will second this!!!!

[Schiada Time]

You know your a V-drive guy when:
1. You can't back up to save your life and manuevering in Marinas makes you nervous.
2. You check your clearnce between the strut and trailer brace 5 times after you pull your boat out of the water.
3. You carry a can of WD 40 everywhere so you can hose your prop and rudder down
4. You dive under your boat after anchoring to make sure there is enough clearance between the prop/rudder and the lake bed
5. Your chick slips off the cavitation plate every trip because you refuse to put a swim step on
6. You are constantly hearing new noises
7. Your the guy walking his boat on the trailer when all the other jackasses are ramming their boats on and using the throttle to hit the saddle
8. You are putting your prop on in the parking lot at the ramp
9. Saturdays are reserved for gear changes and cavitation plate adjustments
10. Your constantly dragging boats home less motor

[dossangers]

Or when your wife yells to you in the garage after pulling the motor a second time because something broke ''Honey are you still in love with your Boat'' ! And you say tired sweaty and pissed! "I Love this BOAT dear!! She walks away Laughing!!
LOL!!!:D :) :D :eek:

Whenever you take someone for a ride they beg you to put an "Oh Sh*t" handle on the dash board so they have something to hold on to!
