Kinda cool; seems like it would enable faster safe travel in choppy water.

Yes, those are pretty cool!!!

But I'd like to see a Quad 50 BMG mounted up front to chase down drug smugglers!

My Arima has "spring-loaded shock-dampening" seats, which really help, but I don't have as many ponies pushing hard on the back...

Those captains on the other boats without the suspension weren't adjusting the trim and/or throttle to lessen the severe porpoising they were doing -- as they should have done -- but it sure made for great video.

Looks like a whole lot of stuff to go bad. Especially if you're a salt water guy.

My boats have always had pitch and roll dampeners. They're called Sails!

That's funny right there -- even for a blow-boater!

I was dead-heading (runnin' empty) from Laredo, TX to San Antonio to pick up a load and got stopped in the Immigration check just north of Laredo... The INS officer asked his usual question, "...are you a US citizen?", to which I said yes, then he asked what I had in the wagon. I said, "...sailboat fuel." He looked at the trailer and asked, "where are your placards?" I told him that Texas Sailboat Fuel wasn't on the Hazardous Materials list. He asked, "...are you sure?" Then turned around and asked his supervisor... I've told them I have "dispatcher brains"... "political promises"... but sailboat fuel is my favorite.

When I was oil field trucking there weren't too many back hauls. So, I brought back a lot of motorcycle doors.
