I want to run 70 mph with 2 or 3 of my buddies along side with our families, raft together at lunch, and hang together afterwards.

Brett Congratulations on the New Ride.
The thing that I find ironic is that nearly everyone that I "know" at one time or another goes through the very thing that you are alluding too. I figure that it's just the lucky ones that wisen up soon enough to get back to having fun.
Now get out there and use it up and get it wet.

Re: New to me boat........
I actually put the boat in the water last night after work for a test run and ended up staying out till dark. The weather was slightly overcast and the breeze was nice. I could listen to the stereo, and cruise the river without having peolple come out of their houses with their fingers in their ears, not worry about the marine patrol pulling me for loud exhaust. It was nice!
I think alot of us get caught up in the "one upmanship" part of this hobby and start down the path to burn out. I thought that I wanted to race, I tried it and learned alot. Its not for me right now. There is way too much cost to even running a few races, cocsts in time and $$ as well as emotional strain on family. Ironically, at age 20 I would have been all over this stuff...... but of course how many 20 year olds can afford it!!! Back then it was MX and it was cheap. Maybe I will name the new boat "Full Circle"....
