First time into the boathouse... 12 Y.O. skipper- Tollycraft 61

1500 Horsepower and 85000 LBS of Tolly. Boy does a great job of letting the boat find her way into the shed. Engine controls and hydraulic thruster have a bit of a delay which must be accounted for, and there is a large inflatable just out of frame to starboard hence the angled approach..all in all a great job...

The definition of patience right here. Fantastic Job …. Both of you

Thanks Mark, Merry Christmas maybe see you on the 6th?

Great job kid!
I was pretty much an expert at docking a single engine boat without thrusters at 10 years old. Only because I was given the opportunity and the experience of learning from confident and patient teachers.
I watch boat ramp videos and find it difficult to believe that adults are so unskilled that they put themselves, other people, and their boats at risk.
My dad says don’t waste everyone’s time attempting to show off your boat until you spend at least a few days on the water dedicated to practicing handling your boat. Take a Coast Guard course, or give up boating and take up golf.

Kids are the best learners when they enjoy what they do. If you give them the chance. I taught my boys dirt bikes, snowmobiles and big heavy equipment in their preteen years. Great job Graham giving him the opportunities.

[@boattguyafloat]

I agree. Thank you

[@Tolly48]

What a dad! Great job S. I'm sure you can move on to become a professional Captain if that's in your path. I hope to see both of you guys in January.

[@boattguyafloat]
