I never went over that though. This last summer I drove a Donzi that was super fun and I've idled a few friend's boats too. I prefer to know how to drive the boats I am on just in case something happens and there is no one else who can drive.

How did you get it over the Dam??:hmmm::action-smiley-069:

Mine launches and retrieves and drives, when I kick it at the sandbar with a cold beverage or two.

My wife has always put the boat on and off the trailer. She has also been known to be the DD for other boaters when they are not sober enough to drive back. lol

She's Mine

I do have to say the ex would get the truck and launch and retrieve the boat... Man that made my job so easy... Probably the only thing I miss about her... lol

Wife drives the boat all the time but she gets nervous around the dock if its crowded. Works awesome for me because she will go get the truck and trailer while I just idle around and wait.

Don't worry, you're not alone! At least your wife goes with you. It's too hot for mine or maybe the girls are too hot at the river ( i don't know), so she hasn't been to the river in 15 years. So, a win win situation for me. :D Soon, my youngest daughter will graduate from highschool and that anchor I have had for 30 years will be cut loose.

Lol!!!! I hope the anchor doesn't take your boat with her when all is said and done. :D

My wife rarely goes with me because she works weekends. She uses her 12 annual paid leave days for birthday parties, sick leave and holidays. She wants to go but what can I do....:)
