Love is in the air on VN.

See you boys on the waves...about launch mode.

 

[hog88]

Nope... Must be my amazing personality or I give good head...

yeah umm that works to.

 

[Orangeburst]

I didn’t have trouble. Progressive picked me right up no problem. Had other options too.

Just found it funny Farmer’s wouldn’t touch me. And when you stop and think about it they’ve kinda got a point!

I thought a 6 Pack License was achieved at 21. Actually I got mine at 19.

The Cpt gets a 6pack per passenger.

Funny, I was just thinking back. Age limit was 18 at one time and then TN switched to 21, but allowed 19 year olds to be grandfathered..something like that. It was strange buying alcohol at 19 when the legal limit was 21. Had to explain that to the clerks and doormen a few times. They used to have a sign up at stores...If born before...

Seriously, never heard of a 6 Pack license though.

It's for small charter boats, your limited to 6 passengers and under 100 tons.

Louder won't say it but he keeps getting dates off this forum.

Yep. I turned 18 during the transition period and was grand fathered in. I’d been buying beer since I was 16 anyway. 6’4” playing football and my dirty thin porn stash seemed to have been enough to avoid carding most of the time.

100 tons! That seems like a big gap. You could charter a small freight ship with that!

I’d wondered where the name came from. Makes sense. BOTH definitions you have make sense frankly.

I’ll admit I’m well behaved in this boat with beer though. Normally don’t crack a pop top till it’s back on the trailer. I still respect the death trap’s ability to rise up and smite me mightily at a moments notice.

They don't have a license for anything less. I don't think.

We used to frequent Peg's Keg at 16-17 and load up. As Peg used to say, u old enough to drive, old enough to drink. lol..A different era.

It's always safer to wait until the boats on the trailer and your driving home to start drinking.

I'll have a few out on the lake but nothing crazy. It was nice when the kids were under age, we had designated operators built in.

It was Handi-curb for me, if you could drive you could drink.

It's a good thing Dink is a cheap date.

Remember when you and your buddies would get an exacto (sp?) knife and perform surgery on your greencard license. Like surgery..lol

Oh don’t get me wrong I enjoy a cold beer while fishing. And if I could manage to stay below 50 mph guaranteed I wouldn’t worry. But 65+ is just a short blip of the hot foot away and the confidence of 3 or 4 beers while my foot is on that throttle. No bueno.

The acceleration is scary. I’ll go from just on plane in the low 20’s to 50+ in a handful of seconds and 70+ in another handful of seconds. And it will hole shot to on plane in under 5 seconds easy. It’s a death trap.

No joke. I’ll bet I was only a couple of years older than that when I drove my Dad’s boat under his supervision. I was taking boats out on my own in my early teens. Late teens I was solo piloting high performance pad V Hull bass boats and little run abouts.

But... we damn near literally lived on Norris Lake

Don't laugh. Son could drive and trailer the boat at 10.

Never have liked hot-foots, it's either wide open or stopped. No in between.

Lol, yep. I remember the first time I got questioned, "HAS THIS BEEN CHANGED?" no sir, "okay that'll be $1.69". I can't imagine what a 6 pack cost now days, it's got to be close to $10.
