Its also quite possible to shoot a stream of water over a low dock and soak some poor unsuspecting old man who was just minding his own business. :bag:
Correction... TWO streams of water.

I remember dumping my teenage daughter in the lake in the same way. So of course I calmly backed up closer to her so she could climb back on and proceeded to get some very terse lectures from panicked onlookers who didnt know there is no prop back there. Those looks and lectures happen so often we almost avoid the area as if there was a prop.

or some butthole in a low riding bass boat that tries to squeeze in between me and the dock while I'm powerloading, don't know how those nozzles got pointed his direction first before going WOT.

haha, I took out the WHOLE beach once...It was waaaay more water than I expected! Sent everybody in the boat up to the bow to raise up the ass end of the boat.... and just jammed the throttle forward and turned the wheel as I did it. The water swept all the way across the beach.

I wish there was a camera going. :watching:

The bigger worry with our boats...is that they fall backward and hit the dock they just left!
