At really low speeds, my boat leaves a practically flat wake that isn't going to cause any small boats nearby any grief. And how often do you run at really low speed? We thought you were on the fast track, getting out to those fish as quickly as possible. Virtually everyone I know with a boat that will run at planing speeds can't wait to get up and moving because the ride is so miserable at slow speed. Obviously your circle is filled with jerks. We spend some time exploring the smaller rivers and creeks around here, and when we do, slow speeds are the way to go. My Parker rides just fine at slow speeds, and at those speeds, you can barely hear the engine and there is no exhaust smell. It's great being out in all that air, just a few feet above the water. You see things you simply cannot see if you're on an RV barge. Of course, you wouldn't be able to take that oversized, diesel-smelling barge into some of the waters we frequent... What creeks and rivers do you explore? It's not like there are hundreds around Breezy Point. Do idle all the way across the bay? Once you've been up the Patuxent, the Severn, the South, etc, rivers, how often do you go back? Hell, they don't change that much. Get yourself a chart of the Bay. |
