We were in parker this weekend and met a new couple and there kids. so far so good , we catch a ride to roadrunner for drinks and munchies, still good. We hop back in there boat and head back into some wind and chop, this is where it goes bad. full throttle somewhere around 80ish, this guy is a stranger to me in a boat , the wife is in fear for her life and our kid is in the boat, I'm not so happy any more. :angry  :angry


Anyone else have it happen, and how did you handle it?? :confused

That's why I never jump in other peoples boats unless I know them.

Would you do the same if it was a car?

I hope everyone is back safe and sound.  :stupid

Seems like a pretty clear case of showing off to the new buddies.  I haven't had that happen with complete strangers, but have had to remind friends to keep it in the water with kids on board.

Sounds like he was trying to be Mr Macho, my friend "Mr Nitrous" is the same way :beat I don't ride with him in any vehicle. Standard conversation goes, him "Come on I'll drive"   me "Fock no!!!" :eek  :laugh
