• When buying a boat, the most important thing to remember is speed. Unless the boat goes really fast, you might not get back in time to make the payments.
• When boating, always avoid guys in cowboy hats who water-ski with a beer in each hand.
• Always slow down when you notice a lot of people standing in the water.
• In a crowded lake it may be dangerous swerving at high speeds to avoid hitting a fish.
• Never tailgate a water skier. Very few have brake lights.
• In a boat, picking up hitchhikers is okay. With today's swimsuits, you don't have to worry about concealed weapons.
• Drinking boaters may wind up with dishpan lungs.
• No matter what the sign says, whales have the right-of-way.
• Always boat defensively. Remember, the only driving test a boater has to take is whether or not the check clears.
