No no no OCD don't you know? They were sideline readers who had no posts in the original SL threads. They have become so passionate this time that they just HAD to chime in.

They are just instant experts on the forum.

At least I can say that I've never changed my screen name. What are THEY trying to hide?



FYI, Felon, nope, CORI check proves that out. Matter of fact not even a speeding ticket in the last 15+ years. I rarely exceed 70MPH in a 65 and rarely exceed 60MPH in a 55. My insurance rates prove that out!

Knock on wood!

LOL....ever go 50 in a 45 or 30 in a 25?

Love the instant experts comment. Soooo true!

Please don't tell the Dept of Defense, they will revoke my Secret clearance. They have been all over my background backwards, forward and in between and must have missed all of my criminal activity.

El, about the only thing I have been guilty of is getting sucked into your foolishness.

All this talk about the criminal mentality is ridiculous. If you really want to know who the criminals are, look at Winnfabs for the lies they fabricated and spewed, and look at our politicians. Their stupidity in actually passing this law is criminal in itself. I guess after being hammered and brainwashed over the years by the whiners, they just gave in. The passing of any new law without supporting data is the ultimate in criminal mentality.


P.S. And, suprisingly, I support a night time SL.

I loved the parts about "creates large wakes with high speed banking turns". I've struggled with that one ever since I read it in their poorly prepared, non-factual PP presentation with both gramatical and spelling errors.

We've had people like that ruin our waterfront over here. Cherish any of the many destinations you can go by boat on Winni, not here.

Speaking of planing speed, I was out yesterday and tested this theory. Granted, with a 5.0 and a light hull, I don;t have the issues many do. I can consistently stay on plane, which is key here, at 19 mph, 25 mph I'm fine. At 30, it drives a little better, and the wake is pretty small.

If you take a larger boat, the tests are not as easy. I would imagine for most boats, 25 - 30 mph is the sweet spot. (much easier if you clean your hulls too).

Fine with me, that's about my average at night for a long time, sometimes I'm closer to 20 than 25.
