Wow, had that same thing happen to me about 15yrs ago in a Baja Force 200 going about 50. Had it trimmed too high, launched, tripped, then landed and hooked hard. Mine just spun out and lucky I was the only one in the boat. I was doing a fly by so my buddy could take a picture. I never forgot it and only need to look at that picture to remind me of a lesson learned.

Sure makes me glad I have a boat that flies level.

Been there ...... didn't do that though.... that's why I bought a Cat. Running a over powered short V-bottom doesn't take much to kick it sideways, even dropping of plane or hitting a rouge wave. Ask Articfriends ..Smitty
