Greg, the only problem that I can see would be lack of vision 'cause in a skiff you sit behind the engine. Perhaps you'd have to stand on the seat to drive the thing. Still, would generate quite a bit of interest.
Chivs, thanks for the big wrap up buddy. Actually, this gourmet breakfast eating, skiff driving person has moved up the food chain a bit (but only regarding the driving that is) and took control of the cruise ship for a while on the Danube. There's a pic below, was even promoting CAWPBA by wearing my T Shirt. Maybe that's how I got to have a drive. And ..... I didn't even break it !!
The ship did run aground at one stage, but I wasn't in control, the Pilot was. Yep, the person who knows that bit of water better than anyone else in the world managed to run the ship up on the rocks. Damaged two propellers and buggered the gearbox oil seal. They put it in dry dock next day and fixed it, then we headed off again.
