If your serious... Among the guys I fish with, he who owns the boat, controls the boat. I think we all try to agree on the banks to fish and no one tries to put the back of the boat out in the lake.

Maybe it is just my experience, but it seems odd to me that I should expect to run someone else's boat unless they are taking break. If there is a problem with postion for the back of the boat, we both fish on the front.

When my father and I fish together, we argue over who has to run the trolling motor.
