    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 does not drive our boat. She won't even drive the truck.

    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. Soon, my youngest daughter will graduate from highschool and that anchor I have had for 30 years will be cut loose.

    That's why you need a GPS, especially down here or you won't make it home and that's a no no.
