Thread: Show us your boat

so it wont turn left?????? how is that even allowed in the water...I could see that killing/seriously injuring folks on lake Benmore if attempting the dam boat ramp on any of the 100 days over summer a NW kicks up unexpectedly .
Ive towed back to the ramp some seriously high priced boats, out on opuha,with my 13ft fryan dingy and wee 6hp eggbeater......
your 2nd to last line says it all really.

It's not that it won't. It's just that skill and experience is needed, as well as thinking ahead. Same with any direct drive with fixed prop and rudder behind. Good in forward but in reverse the rudder is effectively ahead of the prop and does veyr little. Prop torque dominates. With some of much newer 'wake barges' they've added electric stern thrusters.

LOL, been there, seen that. Need to be really careful in Benmore gorge area if using the dam ramp. Kepe watchful eye on the clouds. Combo of side wind and the water hitting that bluff, dam, ramp etc causes lots of chaos. So much fun to watch ;-)

We got it to slalom ski and that's what it's used for. We recognise it's design intent and use it for what it was designed for. Glassy water and 6 buoy slalom course. Dream toy. Would super regret it if it needed to sell it.
