Jet Ski overheating problem
But it's true Scotty, I don't know why I'm letting you engage me in
this stupid discussion, slow day at work I guess, but I can tell you, I've been riding pwc's full time for eight years now and know I'm as much of a boater as anyone else out there on the water, and so are my many very experienced, capable pwcing friends (many of whom have bigger boats as well)....with a lot of the same issues, responsibilities, interests, concerns, and passions, as anybody in a bigger boat. What I've noticed and must tell myself to keep in mind, is that I pretty much never get this kind of obnoxious, elitist, prejudiced, smug, superior anti-pwc attitude from any fellow boaters that I actually encounter out on the water, on the beaches, at the docks, at boating safety classes, etc.....only from usenet assholes......I always feel like a welcome member of the boating community just like anybody else on the water, except on boating newsgroups. Sure, sometimes they're surprised to see us at different places out there, like crossing over to Block Island from Montauk or cruising the Hudson River in our dry suits in 50-degree temperatures this last weekend, but pretty much always friendly and respectful. richforman |

Jet Ski overheating problem
Ok, I'll admit about 90% of the jet skiers I see are no problem.
I even wave to some of them. It's that other 10% that zip around anchorage's and run in circles and ride boat wakes and generally are just so damn annoying that it's easy to just want to eliminate the whole bunch. but then, that wouldn't be fair,now, would it?

Jet Ski overheating problem
I'm absolutely convinced that about 10% of every boating "class" is idiots
and fools. That includes fishermen, yachtsmen, cruisers, skiboats, rec boats, pontoons, and almost anything else that you can think of. Don't believe me? Spend a couple of hours at your local ramp and just watch the selfish, assinine, arrogant, ignorant insanity displayed by the diverse cross-section of enthusiasts. It's amazing. I've lived on a lake for many, many years and there's no protected class of (non-professinal, civilian) "smart boaters". Giz "Scotty" wrote in message ...

SV Probably about comparable to the corresponding percentage for recreational boaters in general, wouln't you agree? Thanks Scotty. Oh and thanks on behalf of all of us for those friendly waves... richforman wrote in message oups.com...
