She doesn't like to all that much but she did enjoy when she did. She doesn't like to when it busy out. I think the wife should be able to drive, dock and trailer the boats. You never know when you might need the help. [GALLERY=]

I think my wife can touch wheel bearings on a tow rig and trailer in 25 feet.
She pulled me often in our little glastron , but I can't get her to drive the fountain at all .

Some of you guys need to be careful...

My wife does not drive the boat. She does not tow, or back in the trailer.





































I don't clean toilets or do the laundry...

Be careful what you ask for my friends!

My wife can drive, but the jet is sketchy to load. It was never a drinking thing for me, my boat, my responsibility. It was more in case I needed to stay at a location(injuries, stupid people...stupid injured people) This summer I think the older 2 kids may start getting seat time.
Wife got good at backing trailers last year. She likes lake lice...I put together a trailer with 2 3-seaters and a 2-seater across the nose...Her and kids can go out if I'm working...or, as is the case, both boats are wounded:(

One other thing I will add is my wife has some serious seat time over 100 m.p.h. but her trailer backing skills are not good.o_O:D

Well my wife is a farm girl. She can drive the boat, back it up, plow a field with a tractor, throw a ski rope like she is trying to lasso a calf, and looks hot in cowboy boots and a hat.

The wife is still learning. She likes to back the truck down...not perfect yet, but at least she tries. She's nervous to try to put the boat on the trailer so hasn't tried that yet.
