Thanks for the advice. It was very difficult to drive a boat for the first time. Thank goodness it was a on weekday that the salesman took me out. There were a couple of boats on the lake that day. It was really hard to keep an eye on everything. Rpms, tilt, watching for crab trap buoys, watching the signs for manatee or slow no wake zones.
The hardest thing out of the whole trip was getting the boat back on the trailer(i missed 4 times) and pulling up to a dock.
I have so much to learn. I plan on taking the Florida Boat safe course soon.
I also have some really good friends from church who own boats and have been boating for years.
It can get really confusing. Thank goodness I only have to mix my fuel and oil for the first tank(break in period) and after that, just keep the oil tank on the motor filled.
