Up to a point, a fast boat ride is fun, once in a while. That fun

hear some yahoo doing 70 mph or more in one of those superfast boats.
The noise really is annoying.

Maybe it is my age. I'm more than comfortable enough running the Bay
at 25-30 miles an hour, keeping my eyes open for hazards and the noise
from my boats' engines down to where conversation is possible.

We've all seen the comparison of dick size and speed. I wonder if
there is a point of absolute diminished returns...if your boat goes
100 mph, for example, do you have any dick at all?



Whoops. That first sentence should have read "...a few fast AND scary
rides..." Last year's ride in the Fountain was fast, but not too scary.
Probably because I was partially under the influence of margaritas.

A few years ago, I was fishing with a buddy in a Hudson River BASS
tournament. At it happened, there was a "river poker run" going on at
the same time - all the boats were Scarabs, Fountains, etc., every one
capable of 100 mph plus and all running about that fast when they went
past us. We got tossed around pretty good.

We know because one of the Marine Patrol boats following them came
over to us and asked if we were ok and wanted to file a complaint.
The natural question was how come they can go so fast and the Patrol
commander said there wasn't a speed limit where we were, but there was
a wake ordinance and we would be doing them a favor if we complained.

We did.

So what were you suggesting Harry?

That's right. They're spread out all over pretty good.

That's about 80 mph, if my creaky memory serves. Maybe more? Anyway,
that's too damned fast on the water. And not comfortable.

Picking nits here, but the article said the boat was capable of 130km/h,
not that it was going that speed. Still, he was apparently going to fast
for the conditions (dark).

It kind of plays on the old Corvette joke,

If you have a fast boat, you don't need a big dick.




Though not recently, I've had a few fast rides in fast boats in my
lifetime. Most recently, though this was in the 1990s, I got to
"passenger" in some pretty darned fast "bass boats" that friends
owned
and invited me aboard for lake fishing in Florida. These were boats
that were capable of moving in the 70-80 mph range. Pretty scary
rides, even in flat calm water.

In the late 1950s, early 1960s, I don't recall the exact dates, my
dad
handled a line of inboard boats that were powered by a pair of Caddy
Crusader engines. These were salt water runabouts that would break
60
mph. Again, not too comfy at those speeds.

Last year an insurance industry acquaintance (can you believe it..an
insurance guy) took me for a spin in his superfast Fountain
something
or other, and told me when it was over that we had "hit" 90 mph. Hit
was the right word, too.
