Hey. Is it just me or does anybody else do weird things before putting their boat in the water? I always talk to my boat, telling her “ I don’t want any trouble once we get out there” and patting her transom. Talk to me. Tell me I’m not too abnormal....

Chuck,
The fact that you talk to your boat is not all that crazy... We all show respect to things we love in different ways...

just do not, and I repeat DO NOT TELL ANYBODY IT TALKS BACK TO YOU!!!

Always blamed myself if something didn't work properly on her. I talk to myself about her but never directly to her about her. This could be a real life changer for me Chuck! Thanks!
