Mass Driver
Mass drivers don't follow the rules? That's a pretty DUMB statement. It's one thing to blast someone, but try to sound a little intelligent by spelling correctly at least.

We have one, have used it a few times. Works well while anchored, unless windy.
It's basically a $160 umbrella.

but.....
A boat takes 40% of it's HP to maintain a cruising speed. A car uses about 10% of it's HP.
Yes, I realize hours and miles are different. I have a friend with a 2002 Larson w/ only 50 hours on it,...

Not my crew!
I'd prefer my guests just be guests and not help. The biggest help most of the time is simply staying put. I AM the Captain and I'll give the orders! :)
Get in! Sit down! Shut up! Hold On!...
