Something I thought of after running the boat yesterday. I came out of a cut of islands at a pretty good clip and as soon as I cleared the islands there was a boat anchored. The only way I could avoid hitting the boat with two younger guys in it was to spin the boat out. I suggest you do this as soon as you feel comfortable with your boat.

Find a clear spot to practice this, water a foot or less is beast for this. Get going then give it gas and a good yank of the stick and spin it out. This will let you know what is going to happen if you do accidentally spin out also. Your boat will probably dip in the front, mine will splash a good bit of water as the nose dips.

There will be some circumstance at some point that you will need to spin the boat out so this is real important to know, It will also let you know how hard you can take a turn before the boat spins out. This is very important for the guys running a hard or soft chine boat, those with chines not so much but still important.
