Hold On!! In the rough water!! I had my wife and a friend of hers on board last year and we were running along at about 60 mph and she started to loose her top!!! She asked me.......what should I hold on to the boat or my top.......what did I say........the boat of course!! She went out with us last weekend.... she wore a tight fitting bathing suit
Wife knows that the only talking is me yelling Hold On!! Unless the water is calm and then we can carry on a small conversation.

They sit and talk, have drinks, they can go in the cabin and mix blender drinks, the only thing I must have is a drink for docking and a bow bunny.
If the girls must kiss when docking, I will close my eyes,
Just Remember my boat is a slow, very slow.

I take very few people out, learned why a while ago. Unless they have some idea of what to expect it just isn't fun.
I tell them what to expect while underway and what is expected of them, NOTHING.
One time a friend of my wife's was screaming at me to slow down, from the death defying speed of 45 mph. I throttled it straight to Marina Jack's, gave her a twenty dollar bill, and told her to take a cab back to the launch ramp where her car was. Have not heard from her since. Wife was a little pissed but she got over it.
My wife knows what to do and when to do it. We don't have to say a word. Once in a very great while she'll simply ask, which side are docking to? Other than that she's got everything else covered.

People don't seem to understand that these boats are less like a ride on a Sea Ray, and more like a ROLLERCOASTER!
I even fabricated removable seatbelts for my kids.
