With my new Bayliner 170 OB went to a local river and took some family tubing for the first time. It was great! I normally boat in the ICW near Cape Carteret in NC and I am always watching the water depth. I went to the New River at Camp Lejeune and could really air it out. The youngsters were strong and I couldn't dump them but I sure wore them out! Also learned a good lesson about keeping the passengers properly placed in the boat. At one point I couldn't get the boat on plane and then remembered that my bow passenger was now in the water with the two young men in the back. Made the back end heavy. Once one of the boys went to the bow we popped on plane in a zip. Lovely day and exactly why I bought the boat.
