For some of you " Throttle Jockeys " here is some pros that do it with one screw instead of two.

box put up a post on hot rod docking a couple of years ago that i thought was very good. i was doing the same with my single screw about 12 years ago (no not as good as those guys) but when I kicked it hard back into reverse i lost the gear and it was full speed ahead and britches full of s@@T as i then had to make hellacious emergency manuvering to keep from hitting the million dollar boats in front of me. if it wasnt for my mate i would have wiped out. talk about an embarressing situation with people all around. LESSON LEARNED!!!!

Im a sissy I dont aproach the dock any faster than I would want to hit it.Those chesapeake boys are bad.I know a captain that puts a 52 single in the whole better than most guys with twins.

some of those bay sleds are bad azz. The competition is part of a festival they have each year. The best bay seafood you will ever eat some say. I bet the captain was in reverse before the nose pasted the first piling....great vid Chesapeake Dan


thanks flat

That's Impressive.

I also like watching the big boys come into the dock at Singer Island, FL

They turn around and set them in the slips like they are on rails. I love the sound of those pneumatic controlls.

If I only had 5 Million to spend on one of those battle wagons, I bet I could get the hang of it.

I'm sure I won't have to worry about that anytime soon.

Nice stuff Dan, I'm still trying to figure out my single screw. Maybe a few more hours????
