I think its great what you are doing! The next time you are up here in Rhode Island, Maybe at Outerlimits. Please call me!
I would be glad to take your course. I will provide the cat.
Thanks

And you didn't really answer my question, how are other types of motorsports able to provide hands on training but the boating industry can not? Or is it chooses not to?

I have done the following schools
Pocono stock car experience, where i drove a stock car at 180-185mph.
Team Pro-Motion Motorcycle track school
STT motorcycle track school
And Tres Martins high performance boat school.
In the others I was either riding my own bike, or driving their car, but i learned much more from Tres' class.

Re: Performance Boating school
Just came back from taking Tres' class over the weekend and I have to say that it was one of the best $2500 that I have ever spent for me and my boat. He covers many topics during the class that I would not never thought of and may never know. I now know what to look out for when running my boat, especially in dangerous sistuations.. I also learn the proper way to run my boat. So many thing to practice in the few next weekends. I also understand his posistion about not allowing student to drive the boat; it is for the safety of both. There are many thing to learn by just observing how he drives and how he always has control of his boat. I would highly recomemd his class to everyone.

Re: Performance Boating school
Quick question does he take you out and air the boat out or are you on calm water not getting the drives free for that kind of money for 2 days I would want a hardcore lesson to see if there was something I was missing after all these yrs. I feel when it's flat its easyer to drive a boat compared to running in water that you have to crack the throttles just right to keep the boat level and not stuff it or do you have a choice on what water you want to ride on??

The south Florida mail must be getting delayed because I just got my issue of Speedboat and read the Tres article. Absolutely a must take class for me, many things the article highlights I have never considered, such as the equalization of displacement between steps.

Tres has helped several folks that I know. One specifically that we all stayed FAR away from when he was driving his boat. He now does much, much better.... I won't say more as not to embarrass him.
Thanks, Tres!
