I've never tried to pilot a boat larger than my 21' Proline. I'll probably
go to my deathbed never having done so. It's probably just as well.


Don't underestimate yourself. In many ways, piloting, docking and close
quarter maneuvering of a twin screw, 52 foot boat with diesel engines and
big props is easier than a 21', outboard powered open boat, particularly in
wind or current.

It just causes more damage if you hit something.
