Wow I am almost speechless at this thread. I cannot ever recall seeing so much hate like some are showing here. I have owned everything from small tinnies to big bass boats. I try to drive carefully around people and always show respect to others. To be clumped into the group of disrespectful boat owners is offensive to me. I have to say personally the problems I see more often than not are from party barges and jetskis but this has nothing to do with the boats but the operator's skill, competency behind the helm, and personal makeup. The simple fact is all boat owners have the capability to be great operators, or just plain dangerous operators. The boat has nothing to do with common sense, or with the long lost art of being courteous to each other. I don't wish disaster or damage to anyone, I just wish we could all respect each other and not take this nasty attitude I am starting to see on this board. I know it's a stretch but we need to re learn respect for each other all over again, before we paint a group of people with innuendo and blame....
Yes I drive a Bass Boat, and I am proud that I ama safe and respectful operator!
