| Big engine, lots of HP and shallow water and white water. Not no poofy
smooth racetrack with carb plate restricted motors. |

| Oh wow. I'm impressed. Whoopee. Call me when they hit 180 mph. :>) |

| I used to do 160 mph in my B-prod SCCA Vette. Did not seem anyshere as fast
as 90 mph on water. |

| I hit 135 in my GTX at Talledega. Now that was a ride. Although I agree with you - for some reason 50 mph on water feels like
100 on land. |

| Darn right, and the smaller the boat and the rougher the water, the
faster it feels. During the week I took the RIB dinghy with the new Honda 20 out for a
spin on the river. It starts to get very light and squirrely on the
wave tops around 20 kts and you'd think you were doing at least 100.
Today I was out in the 27 ft Searay with much more chop and it was a
walk in the park. |

| Upside down, sideways, rolling, and on fire, and full of water. But NASCAR
is better watching as there is more than one vehicle on the track at a time. |

| How can they be on fire if they are full of water? |
Short

|
| Yes, and NASCAR does not race over a muddy field with 5 inches of
water in a ditch. Any resemblance to real boating is purely coincidental. |

| If there is a form of auto racing more boring than NASCAR, I haven't
found it. I went to two races at Daytona when we lived in Florida, and
just couldn't get into them. |

| Just like those sinking ships in the WW2 movies. A little gas floating on
the water. |

| That means the water is on fire. I WIN!! NASCAR RULES!! |

|
| Yeah - pretty neat, but can they cross the finish line upside down
sideways on fire? I think not. :>) Do they refill the racetrack every once in a while? Seem like the boats
throw a lot of water off the course. |

|
| Yes, they can cross the finish line upside down and on fire. |
