Hey,
The guys over in the Big boat forum seem to think its o.k. to drink a few beers. Then make a few 100 m.p.h. runs down the river.
And life vests are silly....
Am I missing something?
I must be getting old.
No, we're jest more responsable as the daze goes by..It's scary to think what happens when things suddenly go wrong at speed when your sober,let alone after a couple cold ones. Running your boat and drinking is stupid...It's also putting everyone at risk.
Even the people on the beach......
I must be gettin old too..... Maybe this is why I'm gettin older, cause I never drive the hydro while drinking and don't take riders that have been drinking, and yes I do wear my lifeline chute jacket on the fast passes. Nothing against drinking just lost too many friends in alcohol related crashes.I can wait till I'm on the trailer to have that cold one. Sometimes people just don't get it till it hits close to home.
I guess a big, high dollar boat makes you bullet proof.
I got blasted for my opinions.
That will teach me to jump forums....
And from the sounds of things. Some of those people went to jail for doing it last weekend.
Have I done it myself? Yup, but I hope that I now know better. I try real hard not to drink AT ALL when I drive a boat. I did that all through my 20's and got away with it (luck). Got poped for doing it in a car 11 years ago. Paid dearly for that one. I just can't have the trouble in my life that it could bring.

Riptide,
When they are locked up they will change their tune, It and idea who's time has come! Drinking and boat gives all boaters a bad name, especially Hot Boater!!
BTW Are You and Superlite coming to Scooteney this weekend? If so, come by the PS-222 and say hi.

Just look at what happened to those guys testing that new HTM. I don't think they were even drinking but they didn't have vests on. If they would have had vests on maybe they would have survived.
Hey Boatguy222.
I havent talked to Rick. I know he wants to attend some more races. Boy is he after me to get his painted.
I unfortunatly can not make it. I have my final open water dive for my diving certificate.
Its pretty important to me. Then I can go pull some fools from the water...
Isnt there a race in Elma?
Do you have a copy of the rules and schedule you could e-mail me?
Circle jerk never got back to me about helping out at the races either.
I will be coming to at least one race this summer.
Good Luck this weekend.
Jeff

Check out the thread: Lake Elsinore sucks ass.
