I bet those lunatic PWC riders really enjoy it too.

Oh yes, they get their one free jump also. The old Bertram was a PWC
magnet. Normally I would slow down after one jump just to get rid of
them, but we had a couple of guys on the Hudson River once that were
so good that I let them play for a while. They were literally making
triple wave jumps. If you figure the crest distance to be roughly the
water line length of the boat, that implies jump distances of around
90 feet or so. They followed me for over five miles and never got
quite close enough to make a nuisance of themselves.

Looks like a fun boat. Do you overnight on it?

I haven't yet..but lots do. Usually two adults or small families. i.e.
pre teen kids. A regatta for the Sandpiper 565 is being planned for
Georgian Bay area in Ontario next July. If I decide to trailer up the 2000
km one way, I might 'camp' in the boat on the way up and then sleep on it
during the planned overnight cruise.
