Call Brad at Tres Martin Performance School and you will understand what the boat can and cannot do. Knowledge is your best friend in boating

Wow, tough room. I am sure that everyone throwing their opinions and remarks at this guy have NEVER done anything wrong or acted less than intelligent in their boat.

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we get caught up in the moment later coming to terms that what we may have done might not have been the safest most intelligent thing to do. It is not worth persecuting the guy for.

I consider myself a safe boater but I am not going to bull**** myself or anyone else into thinking I have not made mistakes in the past. Have I learned from those mistakes and become a safer boater? Absolutely. Will I make another mistake in the future? I hope not, but who knows.

A few weeks ago, I was in a run where the video boat had stoped after passing a cruiser to get some film of folks passing by. It was in a narrow area and I did get closer than I would have liked to the cruiser. I slowed down as best I could and passed by trying to give as much room as I could to everything around me. In hindsight, it might not have been the best move to go ahead and pass by, but you live and learn. I kind of got caught up in the fact the video boat was there.

It is easy to play armchair quarterback and flog someone over a mistake. Being man enough to admit when something might not have been a good idea is much harder and brings more respect in my eyes. Just my .02, take it for what it is worth.

Maybe change the title to something like Fountain passing my friend or something like that.

Sh*t, that doesn't look any more dangerous than every poker run i've ever been in. Some of those starts scare the hell out of me.

Haulinvols, I know where you were talking about. I was about 15' off the bank going thru there trying to get out of everyones way(Pretty da mn scary doing 75 but my alternative was to get run over).

I'll be waaay out of the way at Cumberland though, I assure you!

Neither a safe nor legal maneuver.

If it were a Jetski, everyone on this site would want to crucify the driver.

Satisfied has more issues dealing with 4-wheelers cutting him off when hauling 80,000lbs down the road at 65. This vid has been posted before. Callan at 209 down the straights is risky for spectators too.

oh yeah, him and his wife are great peeps too.

Half the people just did.......you know what they say about opinions! You just cant please everybody so why try? I own performance jet ski's, boats, four wheelers and there are a lot of people out there that just dont like them and they are entitled to their own opinion but that does not mean I want to hear it!
