Wondering if anyone of the Wives drive the boats, every once in a while Terri will grab the wheel and let me chill, it's good for her to stay on top of driving anyway, just in case something would ever happen unexpected.

Mine has driven mine twice while I was troubleshooting issues behind the back seat.
I've driven our boat on the river a few times on off days. I'm the launcher/retriever and damn good at it.
Mine doesn't.
Seen some cool pics of Mrs 2FF and Mrs Daytona at the helm though. Hopefully Grads and 2FF post them

She has not as we just got the boat up and running this year.
Next summer is going to be her time to learn!
Chrissie is afraid of it. I couldn't get her to drive it to save my life....LOL....
I think it's best if they can at least do the minimum, just in case, god forbid something bad would happen and you're out by yourself they may need to how to get the boat back.
Thats how we do it also. Mine is scared to death of bumping a $750K DCB or Skater.Quote:

I always launched and retrieved...but I learned how to drive the boat just in case. I took her for a spin in the early morning up to Havasu Springs while it was still quiet at least once per trip (we were out every other weekend) and would get her up to 75 mph. 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.
My wife will take the girls out for a booze cruise while we are on shore working on the hotrod boats. I doubt she will ever drive the hotrod boat tho, and thats my decision. Haha
My wife has driven the boat a few times, but would rather not. She's mainly launch and retrieve (and she's very good at it)
I've driven NRI's Howard a few times, but I'd rather not...I prefer to be the co-pilot! That's too much boat for me! I'm too afraid of hurting his precious baby! lol If something happened to him, I could get us to safety. I prefer to launch/receive and I'm good at it!
My ex never drove the boat and my girlfriend is scared of it. I taught my 10 year old son how to drive the boat when he was 8. He can handle her in the channel without any problems. I told him if anything happens to me to just take us back to the launch ramp and put it on the beach, not to worry about the prop or scratching the bottom. Sad to say he knows more about the boat than the GF.
Mine drives ours all the time she will pull me water skiing and the kids on the towable. And take the girls on a booze cruise or for a ride. She will not pull up to a dock or take it off the trailer put it back on the trailer. She does a phenomenal job backing in the trailer in for launch or retrieval.

Kudos to all the women that either drive boat or launch it. I'm sure your mates are very proud of the confidence you have, I know I would be! ;)
Let me see what I can dig up. Not only does she drive it, she has taken it out by herself (and a girlfriend). She drove our last boat at well over 100 m.p.h......not many women can say they've done that.Quote:
