Sport Nautique Riders

Hey there ScottRob, don't let your wife see these but you can take the cushion out of the bow (Sport Nautique) and let them ride there IF they are well behaved and not subject to launch we you take a digger trying to rescue thier favorite human.

We went to the 216 from a 196 because of family and friends. We enjoy going out on the lake and staying out on the lake. Its no fun to be stuck on shore. Has far as dogs, thats what the pontoon is for. Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

Open Bow??????..How can you see over the people in the front..what about someone standing up..That would Drive me crazy keeping up with all that people in the boat,,You would be saying--who is where..and where did they go...or who they said??..But I guess its all in fun,,,And thats what its all about...And A Dog in the Boat..We took out my late Dog ( A Rottweilder)..one time...and it was just one time,,I had to take a Wire brush to get all the dog hair out..(not Fun)...So that ended that....

Because you need a boat that holds 10 to get 7 in it.

My wife's been talking crazy like that and I've been dodging. Do you have some special "socks" or something you make them wear? I've got a Golden Retriever and Bernese Mountain Dog - have no intention of killing my seats...but if you have a solution, that'll be my plan 'B'.

We bring our pitbull mix just about every time we go out, and his claws are terrible sharp and long. he has not even scratched the seats or any other part of the boat, now my arms and back are different.

I think the most I have ever had in my SAN is 13 people, with full ballast tanks, and extra weight (about 600 pounds) and one person surfing the wake. That was a killer surf wake, but the boat handled like a pig. You did not steer it, you moved people around to get it to go where you wanted it to.

5-11 people in the boat almost always and still have to ride in shifts alot of the time - problem is, i am the main driver and I get a sore neck from looking in the mirror.

Big boats drive like a tank? I have drivin a couple of 19' ( Bu and Supra), my 211, a 210 and G.Meloons old 226. Surprisingly, I thought the 226 drove great with or without wieght - it drove like a sports car - a Viper.
