WHAT OUR CAPTAINS HAVE SAID
Great info. My wife and I watched the videos together and discovered some new ways to approach our boat days. Looking forward to putting these ideas into motion. Our tri-toon boat just came in and should be ready 10/13 for some practice.

Great program for a newbie like me. Looking forward to taking ownership of my first boat this weekend. I plan to use the pivoting and other exercises to learn how to control the boat. Thanks for demonstrating those exercises. Great job! Well-worth the investment.
