just saying- do I have the only powerboat that gets tossed and turned when another powerboat passes me while I am slow cruising at 7 knots. Where do I file this complaint?
What's 7 knots? Does your boat go at 7 knots?

I will be on a Sea Ray 330 DA with twin 350 Mags and I intend to combust a few old dinosaurs.
it ain't bragging if you've done it.
Buddy,let it goI disagree. And before I went public with my dissent, I wanted to double check. So I looked up “brag”. The definition was to “say in a boastful manner”. What’s “boastful” mean? Here’s what I found: “showing excessive pride and self-satisfaction in one's achievements, possessions, or abilities”
Showing excessive pride *in one’s accomplishments*
So appears you CAN be bragging if you’ve done it. In fact, that’s precisely what bragging is. If you haven’t done it, you’re not bragging. You’re either fantasizing or fibbing.
Buddy,let it go
I agree 1000%. Don't you guys have anything better to do than rehash this tired argument. I suspect that Canuck will change how he posts on here; telling the truth about his accomplishments but in a more humble way.Buddy,let it go

Before I had a chance to decide on my next move an amazing thing happened. The boat tipped and made a 160 degree course change that seemed to take place within its length. This had him heading across my bow and slightly towards me, but we were far enough apart that there was no problem.
My questions are:
1) How is that maneuver executed or even possible?
2) What observations could I have made to anticipate such an abrupt move?
I should add that we were many miles up the lake all by ourselves. This was not an avoidance maneuver.
Did my questions seem risky or disingenuous?
Anyway thanks for the response and clarifications.
scooper, my comments were not specifically directed to anyone in particular, just to the snarky comments in the thread. If your thin skin was punctured by my comments then I guess an apology is due you.I believe I agreed, too. Read my post (just after his) before chastising me. Then, physician, heal thyself.
Just a lot of snark on this thread - not from you - so I guess I was cautious. No offense intended.
