2 people and 2 people only. My partner and my girlfriend. Although I'm not against adding more people to it if I got to know them well enough

Like some have said, only to an individual that I know is VERY experienced on Fork. An even then I would be worried the whole time that they would hit a stump and tear up the lower unit or knock the trolling motor off. The problem with Fork at its current (full) level is that people like me that used to have landmark trees & stumps now cannot see them. That makes guys like me even more dangerous because I "think" I know where I'm going. Ask Skeeter Fowler how nervous he was when I ran from the back of Dale Creek to the main lake in his Ranger.  LOL Ken I have seen you boat on the water at Fork in Little Caney and to my surprise, you weren't in the boat. The guy I talked to said you were coming up on the following day. He said he was scouting out the lake for you....LOL finding the fish.

I have 5 or 6 that could anytime no questions asked
And I would think they would do the same for me
Heck first time I borrowed my partners boat I lost the whole bench seat in his champion on the way to the lake. $850 and a couple of weeks later he had a new factory seat

Not on Fork. No matter who it was.
On a lake I know isn't extremely stumpy then there's probably two people I would CONSIDER. Still not a yes. . .

I would let maybe one person do, very responsible person and knows to replace if any damage is done.

It's all good when you borrow your partner's boat till you spill a bottle of Dip-n-Dye on the seat.

I let my son borrow my boat on multiple occasions. It has hardly ever turned out well. He can drive the boat fine, it's all the other things that he's not all that competent at. Plus, as Murphy's law applies, if something can go wrong when someone else has your boat, it will. For example...My son borrowed my boat when he made the club top 6 and fished Granbury in the state tournament. He blew the power head...Computer diagnosis said he did not do anything wrong, the boat had never hit the rev limiter, etc. Just bad luck. The good news was that it was still under warranty and Mercury footed the entire bill, no questions asked.
