Jee I thought I had it bad 'cause my 2 year old gets scared around 50 ... The 8 Y.O. and the wife are full throttle all the time.... Having 2 girls aint all bad if you pick the right mom....
I know what you mean, But at 60 you can't here her!
My little girl loves it (bit of a tomboy I guess speed never seemed to bother her) wife on the other hand is still not real comfortable with it. My jet is a 19'5" Howard and built like a tank, But she still feels like she is too close to the water and it can get a little rough at times but she is getting better. We have talked about getting a pontoon but she knows I won't sell mine to get it. I think I would give her more time and see if she comes around.

Here's what I did for that baloney. The 5 yr old rides shotgun, now they love it! And the houseboat is a little bigger,taller and slooooower.http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/9574/dsc00508vq6.jpg
Have any pics???
You aren't alone. I've met several guys selling their hot rods because the wife and kids hated the noise or the speed or the ride or something. Just get another boat for when they go and go out and play with your hot rode while they are sleeping in.
or ask for your sack back my wife could never get me to sell my toy, but then again, she's put almost half the hrs. on my boat love ya babe
