Wait...let me guess...your'e some of those non-wake kind of guys huh? Jon Actually no, and anyone that knows me knows I'm probably the furthest from a "non-wake kind of guy." I love high performance bass boats and love to go balls out across a lake at 80 mph. I don't even mind someone having "a cold one or two" during a day. I just get my hackles up at people that don't see a problem with slamming down a bunch of alcohol and then getting behind the wheel of of a boat. Until you've pulled a mangled body from a lake, you'll probably never understand my feelings towards those that drink and drive a boat. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

I mean, don't sit around getting blasted and THEN go haul ass in the boat. Duh. But you can't drink fast enough WHILE driving to get into trouble. |
