I would NEVER let a cat on my boat!!!! hehe. Too many little sharp claws.

I agree,
She was just sitting in my boat while we loaded the car.
Amazingly she did not try to get out.

Nice pics guys, I dont have any of Mr. Ben riding in our '88 but he loves it. When my wife is pulling me we have to tie him down so that he does not jump out and try and swim to me while I'm skiing. He will ride from the house to the launch in the boats driver's seat like he owns it. ha

You got to think I'm crazy, but I have 3 black labs and a chocolate lab. Yes they go riding. In 2003 I needed to upgrade from a 196 because of the birth of our son. NOT enough room for 4 dogs and his car seat, the dogs suffered that summer. Upgraded to MC 230 in 2003 and all was well, except for the MC and some quality issues I was having, and it was just too big a boat. That 196 was still the best boat ever. Bought a 211 last year, the perfect boat for me, walk through in back, removable carpet, just as big on inside, and was a ski boat at heart. If you notice that 2 of the dogs are leashed to the ski pole, it's to keep them in the boat while riding and slowing down. When the large black one was a puppy she would jump out at speed or when slowing down. It was funny at first, but I grew tired of that quickly. I decided to tie her to the ski pole of the SN 196. I jumped out for a swim and came to the surface to hear my wife screaming. The stupid dog had jumped oved and noosed herself on the side of the boat. I get in the boat and pull her in, but so long as that leash is on, she will not jump out of the boat. Her daughter, not as smart, so she is still on a real SHORT leash. I agree with the folks who run and swim them to complete exhaustion before the boat rides. The stupid dog stories are endless, but they do not get to ride as much as before. Attached are some pics from Smith Mountain Lake last week.

This is what I'm talking about. A real and serious concern. If you feel that the dog must be tied up, please use a leash short enough to keep the dog in the boat and try a shoulder harness - which is just more humane anyway. I figure that dog is actually safer if they do jump out, as they will surface and just swim till you pick them up. Thanks.
