Where do you find a wife like this?

Yesterday a friend (ex boss) asked me to help him launch his new boat that was to be delivered that afternoon.

The boat is a Sea Ray 315 Amberjack.

He doesn't have a licence and has never driven a boat.

His wife bought it for him - arranged the transport and everything.

While I only took it for a very quick spin around the marina it seems to be a very impressive boat.

Twin petrol IB with Bravo 3 drives makes it very easy to handle.

Are there any issues to be aware of with these boats?

You don't , only one was made and she is taken.

She is so cheating on him!

There is an issue here. She did not buy the twin and give you one.

I'm married to a girl like that. She has bought two of my last three Rovers (as surprise gifts) including the Series 2A 109 Wagon.

The only problem is we have a new owner of a really nice boat with zero boating experience... Moving up the steep part of the learning curve with that boat is going to be expensive... Give him as much help as you can... Maybe she can spring for a hired captain to go with him for the first ten trips - money well spent...

I am not denigrating the guy, he just doesn't know what he doesn't know... Is the required safety equipment and a waste and black water written plan on board, etc... Does he know what one horn versus two means? Can he read the buoys? Does he understand the differences between intercoastal rules and ocean rules? Can he dock in a cross wind from one way and a 90 degree current from the other? and on, and on... I did not know all this either for the first boat, but luckily it was a 26 foot sailboat which made the groundings, etc. low speed and low dollar events... A fist full of dollars and decades of experience later my knowledge has improved (errr, at least I hope it has)...
