Its a dam shame when you cant go to a BOATING website and share your great Boating experiences with other people that own Boats.

He sounds like a dusch bag to me. I wouldnt have even given him the satifaction of taking down the thread. I would tell him to go f--k him self.

Not,, I have a little girly boat.com
or,, I put my life jacket on when I wake up in the morning to make sure I don't drowned.com?
Or,, I wish I had a big enough penis to not get on a boating webside and talk about someone I know nothing about .com

Wow....that is a really dumb post.

The fact is as someone else here said.....if later on there was an accident of some type, looking back on that thread, how would it look then? How safe would it seem then? Probably not very safe.

A lifevest will probably not save your a$$ at 100+ but it might let your family find your body sooner.

The real reason the thread was deleted was due to the fact that in the video, GLH's fly was down exposing his lower unit to the unsafe wind forces created at that speed.

Yet. If you keep up those actions it won't be a matter of if but when. I don't consider taking both hands off the wheel at over 100 m.p.h. to slap high fives while your foot is pushing the throttles to be very safe. But that is just my opinion. I also noticed that the video was removed from youtube....interesting.

The big difference is I was wearing a Lifeline jacket in the picture with my hands on the wheel and throttles.

Possibly Jim's activities didn't raise your insurance rates...maybe your false statements did???

Simple observation. Call me the a$$clown police.

I know GLH said don't feed the trolls but sometimes they are so cute you just can't resist. The Key West Freedom crew were all adults capable of making their own decisions. I always brief new riders myself and make sure they have goggles, earplugs ect and know where the grab handles are and how to use them. I am always keeping an eye on the passengers to be sure they are OK and comfortable in their enviorment. We know when to "strap in". big water, poker runs, lots of traffic ect. Anything can happen at any time but if you think running a 46' 13000#
boat in a straight line in 1' chop 3 miles offshore is pushing it....then you ain't got a clue. Happy boating and enjoy your Thanksgiving with your family.

Wazz up Jim Happy Thanks Giving.. I guess fixing a Drink at 140 is out of the question

Glad you had a great trip wish I could have made it!! Sorry about the problems but comes with performance boating.. Someone on this site always has to pee in the corn flakes!! If I wanted more rules and PC police I would stick to driving on the streets.

Don't feed the troll....LMAO
He's been kicked off almost every boating site for inappropriate comments. Ask him to show you his Halloween pics...
