I guess the smaller the boat, the wetter you get I usually end up
with wet feet retrieving my skiff. That's why I wear Solomons


I wear 'Crocs'... but both times I've had the Princecraft out so far I've
gotten the bottom of my shorts wet.



Did driving a powerboat scare you that much?



No... just the launch/retrieve procedure.
I did throttle back though when heading into a stiff breeze and 1.5' waves.
I'm not used to the bow bouncing up & over. Is it possible for the wind to
flip one of these light aluminum boats?


Yes!
