Lot more new boaters and large wakes?

[Quinc]

A-holes are a-holes. Doesn't matter what toys they are trying to ruin for everyone else.

Here is a funny video of Jet skiers vs boaters.

Yeah, no holidays. Not even after noon on Saturday.

I don't mind the PWCs jumping the wake if they stay reasonably far back; I don't like their unpredictability sometimes though. Had a couple of clueless little kids (the driver anyway; I think the little girl on back was more aware than him) cut across in front of us once and I had to slow down quick. That was at a busy time though, and don't do that anymore.

Speaking of flying past the dock, ever see the YT video of the guy in the Scimitar zinging past the docks in Juneau, I think it was?

The video is stoopid. It pits boats vs. skis and implies that the former are oldsters and the latter are youngins. Not true.

A few years ago I met a couple at a campsite. The man was driving a diesel pusher motor home and the lady was pulling a ski with her Caddy Deville. Both went out in wet suits and I have to admit that old lady could do maneuvers in that couch like I wouldn't even try. Nice people.

Skis have gotten very expensive and the riders more mature. The kids doing crap are riding old 2-strokes, while the adults are riding supercharged 4-strokes.

In my area a licence and classes were required to drive one. 90% of the crap, has now stopped.

I have yet to see a jet ski with a 1600 Watt Stereo yet so there is a good side to them.

They make them:

I doubt that is even 10 Watts. Hopefully a few dunkings will gum up the Voice Coils and no Noise is the result. I hear a lot of Crappy Music being played by Boaters. If they would play something relaxing like Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, it would be OK, but no they gotta play that cRap noise.

That's because Johnny graduated college, albeit he's now mostly deaf due to his system in his car, and with his new found income has purchased a pontoon boat to serenade the locals with his tunes. Threw a "system" in his toon to play the tunes

At least Johnny could play a little Haggard or Wayland now and then to make that inner feeling in me to launch a flare into his toon go away.

Ya gotta remember...to Johnny - Vanilla Ice, Nelly, and Snoop Dogg are the classics

The typical owner of these $100,000+ boats are fat bald old guys with more money than brains, with a large breasted blonde (younger) girls on their lap, that need to be impressed.

What can I get with a $4k boat? I'm getting older, balder, fatter, but haven't quite ticked all the boxes yet.

Yeah and "Pimping ain't Easy" is VA's Flagship Song. No wonder Johnny and his friends are more than a little Messed UP

If pimpin was easy, everybody would do it.

I actually find the Song very Disrespectful on many Levels, having dealt with the Real Things, while helping get Underage Girls off the Streets and out of their "Managers" grasp.

Maybe only a nice older lady that loves you for yourself and loves the water, but isn't interested in your money. The eye candy really isn't for you, it's to impress others by sticking your nose up at them.

I just play this song on repeat.
