No rules. It's boat and we are going to enjoy it. Only thing that we try to watch is hitting the hull with skis and boards. Too many rules and you and your guests are afraid to come aboard. I've never had a carpet stain yet that didn't come clean.

I love the first rule. Hahahaha. Need to get me a decal made with this that goes on the windshield.

I wear a cool Moomba shirt that has that saying on the back..

I love this quote" Friends are always welcome, Family call ahead first"

I think most of the bases have been covered here...
-no cheetos or orange/red food
-no glass period(that's a law at the lake as well, not just mine)
-no shoes
-no kids, but have been a few exceptions with permission. I limit who/when I invite so I don't have to seem like an a$$ for this one
-no pets. period.
-bring your own food
-bring your own music, and if you don't, then no bitching about my taste.


I try to make it an enjoyable day on the lake for anyone that I take out, but bottom line, I, meaning ME, not you, paid a crapload of money for MY boat and pay another crapload every year in expenses and I don't want it to look like a floating trashbag after a few years. several peeps that I have taken out that have boats around the same year comment on how clean mine is. none of them have ever gone home pissed from a bad time at the lake, so I'd say the rules work..

heck, I'm a virgo, so I have a right to be ocd

We almost never have actual food on the boat, only if we are going to the sand bar or something. I keep a bunch of the snack sized bags of chips in the back, help yourself.

The only rules I have;

• No Shoes on the boat, leave 'em at the dock.
• Don't throw crap in the water.
• No Smoking.
• Don't be an a-hole.
  
  If we are riding;
• Every watch the rope, when someone is done, pull it in.
• If someone is getting back in the boat, whoever is closest can grab the wakeboard and rack it.
  
  When we get back to land;
• Take your trash with you.
• Don't do something just to do it; if I need help I'll ask, otherwise just hang out or whatever.

We are fortunate in that there are about 5 or 6 people that are 'regulars' on my boat, and they all know the drill. When we are riding everyone knows that if I want someone to move to clean up the wake, or do something, its only to make the experience better, not because I'm a control freak.

nothing too much new to add- but for people who don't understand the no shoe thing I'll say "hey bud you might want to take your shoes off before I cut your feet off haha"

I try to chill out as much as possible and let the kids have fun- but if we're out for the day my wife knows the day goes much better if I get a ski ride in while the water is still calm

Ditto.........good call skiyaker. It's much easier to deal with things when we've gotten "our" pull in

"hey bud you might want to take your shoes off before I cut your feet off haha"

Haha! I actually keep a machete stowed away behind the cooler for blazing trails and the possibility of any close encounters of the unwanted kind. Suppose that would work!
