Fellow novice boaters; we are the downfall of scarab!

Well next time I’m out, I’ll sit on my transom, feet dangling in the water, drinking a beer, with my kid doing cannonballs off the back and ponder how much my jet boat sucks. Or in reality I won’t even think of this jackass or really care what he thinks about anything.

This reminds me of my days on motorcycle forums. The sportbikes guys say the Harleys suck, the Harley guys say the rice burners are crap, and the ST guys think if you don’t ride 1000 miles in a day you’re a pu**y. I‘ve owned and rode them all and appreciate each for what they are. I am rather new to boats and appreciate advice from the more experienced boaters of any type, but still have the sense to filter out the BS.
