Not to sound like i own a cape and tights but I had mine in the river last year, my knees were on the seat and getting wet and the current moved the front end, so i was definitely floating in the front... not a hiccup. No slip in the belt no studdering in the engine (though kept a decent flow through the exhaust) Seems like a good idea 6 beers later on the shore, until it happens and your eyes are as big as dinner plates :shock: and your hands are shaking. Like I said, Information's sake :idea: , its not pride.
