Now those fishing boats in the rodeo are something else!

Twin engines easy and the bow thruster made it easier ( look close you will see it )

We practice that all the time.... we call it "Pulsing". It was EXTREMILY easy with my Searay. This Tri is a lot different, going to take some time.
Striper..... The best boat docking contest is at Crisfield. You been there? I just noticed in one of those videos of the 09' event you can see my Searay in the background tied up for the action. All you guys should make it next year... it's a Hellova party!!

two years ago this fall i was invited by a grand banks rep to do a sea trial on the GB 41EU with zeus drives. that is one sweet way of propelling a boat. talk about easy docking. i also loved the 'station keeping' feature that's tied into the gps. one could actually say, 'thrusters ahead, one quarter impulse then standard orbit.'

No, but it's on my bucket list...I've have never seen the docking rodeo over there but from what I have heard, it's a good time.

My F32 spins very easily - width 13' beam and only about 29' water line length. Much easier than my I/O driven 26'er.
