Default You know, We Shouldn't be Using the Term "Idiots"...

I was out of our five alloted posts 'cause it was r-a-i-n-i-n-g!

It is sunny today, so I'm going s-a-i-l-i-n-g—it's unlikely I'll need five posts to-day.

That's not what I am see-ing.

The first two replies strongly suggest that "MAKING NO WAKE" was not even considered.

How 'bout requesting the photo—which would still exist—by PM, privately, and sending a copy to me. I'll crop the boat in half horizontally, omitting the beings or letterings that would be objectionable.

I know you may not be able to see the pic, but the opposite was true. The CT bowrider was right and the Ski boat operator and OP was wrong. IMO
You're entitled to your opinion, but you can't see the boat, either!

The CT boat was making no cavitation out of the stern.
Cavitation, when present, is seen at the propel-ler. If what you think you saw was a clean sheet of water, then he was on plane.

Member NoBozo, whom I respect as a sailor, may not be familiar with ski-boats; however, ski-boats regularly travel with their bow normally depressed in the wa-ter.

'Wouldn't have it any other way. Viewed from dock or porch, it's always greatly enter-taining!
