I don't know about wise but -

Wear your life jacket and kill switch, start off slow, don’t try to turn to sharp. If driving is hard or real tiring then you are probably doing it wrong or there is something wrong with the setup. Don't fight the motor it should seek the right prop depth and track straight with little pressure. Scan through this Longtail forum there are a lot of tips on LT operation.

Watch the turns when you driving slow water tends to go over the sides. If y'all wouldn't mind another ridin partner i'm always lookin to ride since there isn't too many mm's over here. I'm not but about a hour and a half from y'all.
