Well, you've certainly got me crushed in terms of horsepower and speed, but I wouldn't want to have your fuel, dockage or maintenance bills. Mine's getting some semi-major I/O work done right now, the mooring cover needs to be replaced, and there are a few problems in the engine compartment, too - I was gonna bitch about that until I read your post, but now I no longer have the heart to do so.

But when he was 40, he probably had around 1000 of his 2000 chicks, and he played metal!

I live way too far from the Great Lakes for my taste.

When I get done with school I'm gonna try to move to a city bordering one of them, preferably Cleveland, Chicago, or Toronto if I can swing it.

EDIT: Let's just make this thread about boating. Much less hurtful.

Yeah I live on the water and have a lift. My buddy owns a marina so 2 of the 3 I have covered. $350 to fill the tanks last time. BRUTAL! hahaha

I'm not even slightly surprised. This is exactly why I have made the conscious decision that I do not need to go 90 MPH on the water. I only need to do 35 to slalom ski (maybe 40 if I start trying to learn to barefoot like I keep threatening to do one of these years), and the fish will still be there whenever the fuck I get there...I'm in no hurry.

EDIT: Cannibal Corpse called and said they give up - your fuel bill is more brutal than they are.

hahaha. yeah when i'm crusing 55-60 I get decent mileage. 80-90 I can actually watch the needle go down.

Last year we had one of those flying tubes that are illegal now. How we didn't all wond up in the hospital is beyond me. I had sore ribs for a week.

Anybody who is crazy enough to get behind a boat like yours in an inflatable of any kind deserves all the cracked / sore ribs they get.

A boat having twin screws alone is a deal-breaker for me to get out there on a tube, not to mention twin 540's. Quite frankly, I would rather pull people behind my boat and wreck them into the water than be the one getting launched anyway. I dislocated my shoulder a few years ago on a wakeboard, and it's still a bit fucked up to this day. I like my watersports to have some modicum of control on the part of yours truly, thanks. I mean, you can still crash pretty hard on a board or a ski, but your likelihood of crashing is directly proportional to how hard you're pushing yourself and indirectly proportional to your skills (both of which you can control), and generally not subject to the whim of a sadistic driver.

Very true. I do 40-45 when driving with my friends tubing. I told my buddy I wanted to fly and I was literally 20 feet in the air with him going 55 mph. I thought I was going to die. He slowed to 35 and I crashed down then flew off backwards. It would have been the best youtube video ever. Needless to say I know why those things are illegal now.

I've found tubing off a jetski is more fun anyway. Crazier turns and flips. I respect your for boarding and skiing though. Never tried either but looks like a shitton of fun.
