Having driven smaller speedboats since my teens I thought it'd be no problem to handle. But... It was far more difficult to control at berthing speeds than I expected. Combine that with a berth that was only a few feet longer than the boat.. Click to expand... Sounds like my experience exactly.. Definitely gets easier, or at least less stressful..
