I've seen TV coverage of that before. Pretty crazy stuff.

I've never had the chance to do it in a boat, but I have done the same thing on a Jet Ski many times. Some of the best fun I've ever had riding my skis.

That's their 16 footer and at the time the vids were made, they were equipped with the 240 Optimax jet drive. If I remember right, the small boats retail around 28 to 30. They do make the sprint boats and marathon racers with BB power. I should have more vids of them posted on my youtube page (that was mine that pshannon found) I have another video of an onboard shot and you can hear the hull hitting rocks and they are using downed trees as launch ramps!!! Those are fun machines!!!
