"On a few occasions I've had the opportunity to watch the weigh ins at a couple of fishing tournaments. The skill of the charter captains is phenomenal. They come into a harbor, motor to the center of a fairway, use the two engines to spin the boat's stern into the fairway, back directly down the fairway in what seems an impossibly straight line, stop within a gnat's whisker of the bulkhead, then gently place the boat's stern against the bulkhead and keep it there with a bit of reverse.

Dennis:

The other day I watched a club member with a 40' powerboat come into a narrow fairway at our club (not much wider than his boat) and turn it around 180 degrees to parallel dock ....the boat literately pivoted in a stationary position......he was on the fly bridge.

I said the people standing next to me what great boat handling. One member responded and said "well, anybody can do that with bow thrusters" .

I responded and said "His boat does not have bow or stern thrusters, that is what makes it so impressive". No response from him.
