[symonds86]

my buddy and i took my new to my 77 glastron out yesterday for the first time launch went great were out for a few hours no problems came in to the dock at the lunch told my buddy to jump on the dock and get the truck lunch was empty except for a lady walking her dog. he jumps out and totally clears the dock landing in the water on the other side. Made the trip that much better for me lol

Hey, I guess it's always better to clear the dock than to not make it at all. I know I'm guilty of that. I was on a friend's boat, designated drinker (no driving for me), and I went to jump out at the dock to hold the boat, and for some reason it looked so much closer than it was. Good story anyways, glad I'm not the only one

Only advantage I see is not being between the boat and the dock......BUT, You're wet either way

Geez! 18mph? I guess he would actually die if it was 81mph.
