Don't waste time running the blower prior to engine start, because I heard the alternator has to work harder to recharge the battery from running the blower. Start up and get on plane as quickly as possible and don't worry about no wake zones such as Alton or coming out of Merideth. Go in a straight line and don't worry about other boaters...they will get out of your way because you have the right of way. When you get to your destination, jump into the first dock spot you find, and don't worry about other boaters who were waiting. Obviously they have the time to wait, and they will get over it. On your way home, just follow the same type procedures.

Scary thing is some folks probably really think this way.
