Yeah all the time, I drive hard because that is what I find fun. I like going as fast as I can in 1-2 ft chop if the lake is glass like I will enjoy it for a while but eventually I circle back and cross my wake a few times over.
Not any more. Like a lot of other things I did when I was younger that is also a thing of the past. After 78 years on this earth I have started being a little more careful. I have a 20' Nitro but normally run it about a couple of hundred rpm;s over what it takes to keep on plane. I realize that my reflexes ain't what they used to be and it can be a little squirrelly when flat out up on the pad.
