i see the bass boats do spinning starts in shallow water alot. they find a deeper puddle (less weeds) to turn in then use there own wake to jump up on plane in less than 2' of water.

I can imagine you describing this technique to your insurance adjuster. :lol:

there are lots of things that experienced boaters in coastal or other challenging waters do, that you would never even mention to a non-boater who owns a watercraft. Get in the conditions, it's nothing like driving a car around a shopping center parking lot; it's more like off-road driving, to use a car analogy. Watermen and other boaters teach their friends and family but you won't see it in a guide book anywhere.

I do both and consider offroad driving a lot safer than a mall parking lot
