With your boat, how often...

[Wet Dream]

When you are with your boat and people come up to look at it, how many times do you hear..."Is that a 350?" It seems to be the biggest question.

[hboldno7]

"how fast is your boat"
"can I drive it"

[Kim Hanson]

Sure beats, " What size of engine is that "? I just tell them its a trolling motor!......( . )( . )....... :D How fast will it go, has to be the best on byfar!

[LaveyJet]

I’m getting out of my truck at the gas station, a redneck pumping gas asks “Is that your boat”
“ Naw, it’s my portable hot tub”
“Here’s your sign”

"Is that a 350?" What's wrong with a 350?

"How fast does it go?" is the question I get the most.

[Stoked]

I get tired of the drunks at the ramp, that think it's their duty to help my wife when backing up the dually. Then try help putting the boat on the trailer. She has probably done it 1000 times, and is beter at it than most people. Also as all sober people know tunnels only go on the trailer one way!

[Mandelon]

They say "Hey, didn't I see you from the Laughlin to Havasu tour boat?" :D :D

When someone finds out I drive a race boat, I just love it when they ask if that's what I do for a living. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: pig_flyi
"Uh, yeah. And I'm a roofing contractor in Phoenix just for the fun of it." yuk

I’m getting out of my truck at the gas station, a redneck pumping gas asks “Is that your boat”
“ Naw, it’s my portable hot tub”
“Here’s your sign” I get that when I am fillingthe boat up, people ask you taking the boat out?
:confused: eek!

[QUOTE]I get that when I am fillingthe boat up, people ask you taking the boat out?
:confused: eek! I was putting fresh gas in the boat today, poeple were asking me if I was going out. Well, I might have, but there isn't an interior in the boat. Its upstairs in a bedroom. :rolleyes:

[Jbb]

For some reason I get asked often at the gas station ...I'll bet that gets real good gas mileage .....usually by someone with a pwc..

[MAXIMUS]

Nice boat... To bad it has one of those on the back of it??? :confused:
The life of a jet boat guy... :rolleyes:

“Here’s your sign” I resemble that remark!!

[Haullen270]

Most often I get ask how fast does it go and what size of motor I have in it. I reply that it goes around 40 MPH and it has a Ford flat 6 in it. They usually respond with a "Wow, Really".

[RiverToysJas]

I hate when strangers at Barstow Mc Donalds (or any fast food joint there) stand on the trailer and look inside while I'm inside eating. Yes, that's happened!!! eek!

[olds455jet]

hay that wasnt funny!

[James'SS-24]

The "How fast does it go?" is the one I usually get. Lately I've been telling them "Oh, 45 or 50". One guy last weekend says "I meant the boat, not the truck" I just smiled and he got the message! eek!

At the gas station...
Bystander: How fast does it go?
Me: Don't really look down at those speeds but it also floats fast
Bystander: What kind of engine in it?
Me: One of those new super cool 600's..
Bystander: Cooooollll....

Just get the T-Shirt that reads:
"Do I look like a F***ing People Person?"
And all questions will stop. My person favorite shirt is:
"F*** you, you F***ing F***"

[JetBoatRich]

LUNVLIFE,
has a buddy that carries an extra CRANK, just in case one breaks at the river.
He claims he finds a tree and changes it out, one of the best STORIES I ever heard :D

[Phat_Kat]

Usual question lately is "did you get a new boat?" or "who built the new boat?" because it's been sitting for a while. It's so well taken care of that it actually does look new but it's really a 1980. Pictures don't do it justice. You have to see it in person to really appreciate the TLC put into the boat.

[mmered8299]

RTJas :D That good ol' Choo-Choo train Mc'D's----glad I don't drive that way much anymore..hated to leave my rig sitting anywhere around there..
I never got questions there, I just had to make sure their hands were empty and nothing was tucked into their shirts...they can't really get away with a wakeboard in a shopping cart to easy.
Once saw a drunken bum sitting in someones boat waving their ski flag.

[Blown 472]

I am always fighting tha girls off with a stick to get a ride in it, then I woke up and it was my dick in my hand.

[Havasu Cig]

I get: "Who makes it?"
I respond: "Cigarette"
They ask: "Yeah, Bit who makes it?".
I point to the big Cigarette logo on the side of the boat. They think every "big" boat is a Cigarette.

[H2O]

"Do you have a death wish?"

[River Ric]

We had a guy come up to us once at the 76/Dairy Queen in Ludlow and asked " Where are all of you boaters going out here in the middle of the Dessert?" We told him that the Colorado river was 95 miles east. He said "Oh, we're from Oregon." I guess they don't have maps or lakes up there. Even my 8 year old duaghter told him the river was just over the hills.
:D :D :D
Remember, "The River is not just a place, but a state of Mind." :cool:

[beyondhelpin]

My favorite......If me and my twin sister sleep with you tonight, will you take us out on the boat with you tomorrow?! :p wink

[GlastronGuy]

I normally don't act like a pompous, condescending ass and I just answer their questions.
wink

[HammerDown]

They can't belive my 21Daytona's a 1983...and they all say it looks faster than what I tell them. (wish it was :( )
