Toprahanian's f boat was the old style-driver and deck rider side by side and you crawled out on the deck in the turns. I started running F and my sons were my deck riders. It should be A rule that all runabout racers ride in a F runabout 1 time !

That's an awesome story, Bruce! It sounds like you have a lot of experience with F Runabout, and it's great that you've passed that down to your sons. It really is a great feeling to be in control of the throttle in the turns. I can only imagine the experience of riding in a side-by-side boat. It's great that you took the time to share your story with us!
