I was just wondering how most people feel about wearing a vest in these high performance boats.I have made several friendly comments to people on YouTube and on other websites that post videos of people running hard and racing each other that choose not to wear a vest or tether.I've gotten some pretty negative responses back from people about minding my own business.I have an inboard V-8 for now,and can only reach speeds of 60 mph but always put my lifevest on and use my tether.I can't imagine doing 80,90,or 100 plus without any safety gear.I really have my eyes on a SS2000 and I'm sure it will not only thrill me to death,but also scare me to little.With any luck I'll be able to afford one in a year or so.LOL!!!I've been reading alot of posts on this site as well as a few others and it seams most people here a fairly responsible about safety.I've watched some nasty accidents on various sites that happen in the blink of an eye.I guess I'd rather float on the surface unconscious,than sink to the bottom.Just my opinion.
