I don't go "banging around", implying that you need a bumper car to handle a single screw vessel competently is incorrect, I suspect I've scratched less gelcoat and steel than many twin screw and thruster equipped boat handlers. I do admit that perhaps I've had more years of practice than many however. My comment was simply to say that I enjoy maneuvering a single screw boat as I also enjoy watching any other competent boat handler at work regardless of the vessels configuration.
