the real Skipper of my boat......
 

The best firstmate a guy could have.. (don't mention that to my girlfriend though)

That is just great Jeff. He looks like he's been around a while and no doubt your best mate.
There would be no way our dog would come out on our boat with us, she would just S&%t herself (and that wouldnt be nice in a boat!).

Our dogs love to go boating AND waverunning, as does my daughters (the blue life jacket). Check out how fearless they are. They are in front whether going slow or fats. The've never left the boat... intentially. I rarely let them stand on the bow like in this photo. Last fall the small one was running from bow to stern to jump on the sundeck just as I was taking off to go fast. She landed about 30' behind the boat and hasn't jumped up there since:D

Wow, those pics are great.. My Dog Rocketman above pretty much just posed for that shot, we're on land, boats on the trailer in my driveway. He's yet to go for a cruise. I think he would freakout. He's 9 years old, so I'm not sure he could handle it. I did buy him the life jacket so he does'nt feel left out..:)

No doggies in my boat!

Im scared that their nails may puncture a seat cushion and then I would be paying to have it recovered. Well the owner should be paying for it to be honest.

No fish either btw ;)

I love my dogs, but I'm with 180diablo on the seats. I just don't want to risk it!

Someday I'll take 'em out with me. Here they are.

Here's our dog. She's been in the boat a few times, but I think she prefers riding shotgun in the Jeep. She's even more at home chilling on the dock while we fish.
