In hind sight, The "Throttle Whip" could have been easily avoided.

See, most people, would say, lets go on a nice flat or some what calm day for the first trip, and get used to it. *Cough Monday it was FLAT*

OOOOHHHHHHHHH NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Not us, lets go NOW, when there is two footers. We go 2nd trip, and what would have truly been "less than desirable" in my smaller boat.

However, we are truly deranged, as every time some one was "Throttle Whipped" they got up SMILING, and LOVING IT. Dave slid to the floor once and his head was right next to my seat, I looked down, and started slowing down, so he could get back into his chair, and he says "Keep going this is AWESOME, just don't crap your pants, I'm to close to your BUTT"

So I kept going.

Yup, we are weird like that, but sitting in your seat, when the boat takes off, is very desirable. Funny thing, we were FOREWARNED, and yet it still occurred.

Steve, we were in no danger of any one going near the back deck. That cockpit is so large, and there is so much room. The canopy was removed for more room, and we moved two seats while trolling.
No one is allowed on the deck when I am moving anyway, trolling & jigging, yes, but not under way.

That said, that throttle is so, shall we say, so precise and elegant, that its is going to take some getting used to compared to the smaller boat.

It was truly AWESOME, for everyone.

I have time off Christmas week, and if it stays open, I may try and make another trip, but not exactly sure just yet.
