@blair, fair enough. That is not my intent. Here is the thing...
I just think we need to be careful throwing out all of these weights, without any consideration of being overweight. I didn't wax on, just wanted to throw that out there. There are so many lurkers, and newer folks that check these forums, and they see some of our wakes, and they want to get out and do it on their own boats. I just think we should be a "bit" more concious of that when we throw weight setups around more than 2500 or so. Just my thought. And no offense to anyone, including stanley, but looking at the weight issue, and then riding without a PFD, I don't think its setting a good example for the sport. Stanley knows I respect and appreciate what he does, but I guess I just can't stop myself from throwing that out there, for whatever that's worth.
On the 2 sides issue, this has nothing to do with Tige. My passion on that has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that I have 5 kids that are all goofy. I would just love to see more consideration thrown to both sides in these conversations for that reason. There are LOTS of goofy riders out there, and I just want manufacturers to remember that.
Anyway, I understand his point, I think its a great one. If you rode with me and my family, you would understand why I was passionate about those things. And you are welcome. Anyway, that is my reason, if you want to discuss more, feel free to contact me or start another thread.
