Who do you go boating with?

[hpboats83]

We go out a lot by ourselves to Havasu (my wife and I), we don't have many friends who go with us on a regular basis so just curious?Do you normally go with your family or friends or a specific group of people or......?

[78Southwind]

We have been going by ourselves lately but we use to put on trips at Park Moabi. Sometime we would have up to 50 people on our beach.

We don't have any friends..so it's just Shannon and I:action-smiley-069:...and I like it that way:speechless-smiley-0....We have two couples that we boat with,they each have their own boats so we always end up tied up together..except for this upcoming Desert Storm...They will be riding with us...(did I say 4 extra boat bitches?) Even Scott Foxwell is coming out for the street party and a cruise in the boat (he doesn't know it yet but he;s gonna help wax the boat)

Usually me and one other. I kinda like it that way, boat flys better.

I hate a full load of people in the boat . less is better .More room

[314joey]

Everybody and anybody............we love fun people as long as they're not obnoxious when they drink, I don't like drunks.

[thatguy]

Just Deb and I.

Maybe once a summer someone else rides in the boat.

Agree. I have my list of people who are not welcome back on my boat as well. Can you say cigarette burns in my hatch?

I go with friends and occasionally a family member who won't latch on to me.

I don't like drunks at all. Makes me batshit crazy. Most people can't tell when I'm drunk. I just calm down and get quiet.

Exactly!!!

Edit....I like drunk people, I dont like sloppy drunk if that makes sense.

[Menace Marine]

Everybody gets a chance to go with us. But mess it up and you don't come back. Help wipe down the boat. Hold it at the dock. Etc. basically if you make my trip easier by being there you can come again. Make it more difficult and its your last invite.
I have a small group of people who are always welcome. I don't like a lot of people on my boat. One reason I will never own an open bow.

Amateur: I want an open bow so I can take all my friends.
Pro: Sorry, we have a closed bow and can only fit 4.

Made that mistake many years ago, and now I'm stuck with it, lol. :)

LMAO Don't know why but that's good .

I don't go boating anymore. It's just sits in the garage and I throw money away every month at a vacation home I never use. :rolleyes:

Sounds like you're ready for a flatbottom. :D

Well it is a v-drive so its somewhat similar. LOL I hoping this summer will be a whole lot different. I'm planning on spending as much time as I can out there.

[KAP]

We boat as a family at the river and lakes.

On the ocean it is always just adults. I don't like taking my young ones out in the ocean unless its just a Harbor cruise.

We have found that there are two types of people 1. Boating people and 2. Non-Boating people. The boating people all have boats and know the drill.

Non boating people are just that... ballast and we take them out hoping they will become boaters. It has happened more so than not.

The majority of our friends are kick azz boaters and know how to contribute and are team players when launching retrieving the boat etc...

It all depends on what category people fall into on a certain weekend.

[Ziggy]

Most often its just the wife and I...sometimes we'll run into someone we know at one or the other location....other times we just chat it up with whoever is near.

[westair]

It started out we built vacation houses with our best friends next door to each other in havasu a few years ago, so we were always with them and all the kids and their friends ....life was great! but nothing last ...sadly my friend passed away a couple years ago, kids all grew up ..... now usually just me and my wife, but I actually enjoy this phase too ...we go where we want, when we want, and if I don't feel like putting the boat in the water I don't:biggrin: .. we're friends with a couple neighbors also. We normally only invite non-boating friends up a couple times a year .... its to much work:biggrin: ...yeah I'm getting old!

[Napanutt]

My boat pretty much hauls me and the wife. I like boating with a group of other boaters but don't typically like a whole lot of people in my boat, too hard to move around and shit.

And that's exactly why everyone needs their own boat. It works great! :D

Boat with the family and a select group of friends. When the kids are away at grandmas it is just the wife and me. We have a select group of friends (3 or 4 couples) we invite at least once a year. Also have a long list of friends that went with us once and are on the 'do not invite' list. Those on the do not invite list did not help at all and made the trip more work for me.

[Skee]

Bein' a single Dad for alotta years now.....I usually go with my kids (grown,26/25 and 19) and their friends....There's nutthin' better than to see my kids happy. They grew up around boats (with me) and when their Mom and I divorced,I was not gonna take that away from them..So they "dig it" when we get to go out! Although,my girls do get to go out more than me now,but yeah...I go with my kids and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world! :D

Usually just the wife and I head out to Havi on Friday nights. But we typically end up hanging with shintooo, or 2FF, or one of my brothers, or one of the family friends that live there... or someone.. We always end up running into someone we know...

These days no one...you can't really fit many people on a paddle board ;)

When we first starting boating we would take friends out with us every weekend. Over the last few years we've become really last minute, so most of the time we go alone and meet our friends who do have boats out on the water. Sometimes it's easier when you don't feel like you have to entertain people on your boat. When you're ready to go, you go :)
