no no no, not while racing. When going in the intercoastals. We would make runs form the Don Ceasar to Clearwater Pass. Now this was before the No wake zones and you where allowed dry headers instead of wet headers. Thats when you would see a lot of these boats in the area. the new laws just killed this type of boat for recreational use. Oh yeah did I tell you we would also pull speed skiers and the look on peoples faces as we passed them through the pass.
