Some people

Have to laugh at this. Just did a tune up and water pump on my dink motor. The mighty and very powerful 2HP Suzuki. Took her out for a test spin around the canals close to the house. Now I must admit that I was running her wide open. Some guy standing on a dock yelled at me to slow down. I guess I should be ashamed of myself. Was leaving at least a 4" wake, and maybe as much as 6".

Violator!

Clearly you have no regard for others. :naughty: with your shameful and highly distructive 6" wake

 

[William12213]

Stink boaters!!!!!! They just don't care about the destruction they cause with their high speed shenanigans

 

[Allan12210]

But if it was real loud, then that's ok.

 

[norsksailor]

You know, you can be held legally accountable for the damage caused by that massive wake...:naughty:

 

[Ross]

My late father-in-law thought that I was driving too fast at any speed. A walking horse traveled at just the right speed.

 

[biggio]

Phil did you have your boat out last Wednesday morning going thru the HWY11 bridge? If it was yours, your paint job was beautiful.

 

[RECESS]

You young 'uns and your power boats.

Get off my canal!

Shakes fist

Let's not make this political or I'll have to send it to the War Room...... :naughty:

 

[RAD]

The way I read this, it wasn't the wake but the speed and you know damn well that a 2hp on a dink is way way too much and somebody could get hurt going WOT
Probably didn't have a pfd on either and now this guys going to keep an eye on you and tell all his friends about what happened

 

[sailormanbigd]

racing dink

I only hope you did'nt have your name on the dink. Better deflate it and hide it inside for the season.

 

[sailaway78]

The whole truth

Maybe I better fess up. When I had the little Suzie apart, just couldn't resist, and did a couple a tricks from my motorcycle racing days. Some basic port clean up, and a tiny bit of enlarging. So now it probably puts out at least 2.2 HP. Biggio, that wasn't me by the hwy 11 bridge Wednesday morning. Must have been another pretty boat.

Re: The whole truth

Enhanced performance! that will get you into trouble everytime. The next thing we know you will be adding hydrofoils.

 

[RAD]

"and a tiny bit of enlarging" on the piston,main jet and voilà 2 becomes 4

 

[BobM]

I agree...

Sure, you may not have been kicking up much of a wake, but it doesn't sound like you were mindful of your rooster tail. You should have buzzed him at 2 knots!

 

[sailaway78]

From your responses

I guess I am just a horrible, dangerous, carless, destructive and uncaring person. OH WELL
