Questionable Captains
 

At a recent boating event I was in the presents of a group of quote "Professional Captains". All have quote "lots of sea time and handle anything out there". But was I saw was lots of poor boat "handle"'ing skills. Some of which would cause major damage. One Captain even works for a towing company. I guess it all comes down to any one can get a Captains ticket and tow boats. I bet towing cost would be less if they had better people... :cool:

Your just jealous cause you couldn't run that remote control boat.
Hey just a little advice, next time you go to the boat show don't wear high water pants and pull up your zipper.http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/ae...smiley-025.gif

Wait till the new pod drives are common.....I got to test ride a development boat.....my buddy is a tester. He put the bow 5 feet from a channel bouy and did 360 degrees around it keeping the bow pulpit 5 feet from it and pointed at it the whole time. It was all done with a joystick.

Those new Volvo IPS drives are definitely A-1. I sold the first Regal ever built (40' footer) with IPS drives and I had to deliver it from Warwick, RI down the coast of CT and 40 miles up the CT river. I felt like Huckleberry Finn...

Even without the joystick...you can spin the boat on a dime....just turn teh wheel hard in the direction you want to go and then oppose the engines. Takes a little getting used but it is a trick system.
