    Is she your first mate?

    Just wondering how many of you guys would give up the keys to your wife, girlfriend, or daughter if she wanted to borrow the boat or is that off limits?

    hmmm, let me think. Uhh NO! Theres three thing I wont lend out, my boat, my tools or my wife, because they all come back F#@##D.
    However, if my wife or kids want to go out in the boat with me, lets go. I have had friends offer me their boat when I was boatless, but I just coundn't bring myself to borrow it, just didn't feel right.

    If she (or anyone else) hasn't got an Operator's Card.....she's not turning the key on my boat.

    But it's o.k. for her to drive if I fall in the water while she's on board and she has to save my butt.

    I don't allow texting while driving on my boat either.

    I'd offer up the keys FOR my wife before I would offer up the keys to my boat :-)

    For me a yes. But she'd never want to take it. She grew up on the water and has more sense than me about most things. Oh, and my boat is scrap value, which is pretty much nothing.

    Yes..... I usually mate with mine first.
    I think holmes grabbed my junk in the "pile on" though....I found it inappropriate but I was released gently; given what we were piling on about I found it educational as to a good release. ~ Pip
    And Lipripper - until you have been there, I would strongly suggest you STFU. ~ bigbruce

    Good thing she will never ask as the answer would be NO !

    She's still Hot, but her going solo on the boat is NOT !

    I should have read the question before I posted...

    If they can run it than you have done good..

    If not I would have to ask.... "Who's the guy running it?"
