Couldn't agree more, especially when the boat is blue.

They are a cool boat but this one [B-FAST] from Lake St Clair was a handful to race.

I can remember seeing a white 30ft Velocity on Miami Vice season 2 Episode: French Twist 2/21/86 It was on the last 35mins of the TV show.

I was always very busy driving that boat, loved it! I still have possession of my old one, which I sold to a buddy for short money. I wish I had the money to buy it back and repower.

B Fast spun out once & broke the navigators hip at a Michigan race At the Key West Worlds she spun again this time the new navigator was thrown out. Before he could be pulled out of the water,, race boats were turning on his orange helmet, hence he became know as Louie the Buoy.

That is a Midnight Express 32 ss in that Miami Vice episode, it is just above the water line at the rear of the boat.

Holy Crap!
We had one brought to us, probably about 10 years ago...it was all red, 3 man race boat. I forget the name. Owner complained that it was spin happy. A few talks with Steve, a few white nuckle test drives (had to try and force it to spin ) and 2 drive spacers later it handled great.

What is it that causes these boats to spin? is it mostly setup? does it happen in certain conditions?
