Hi speed turns???
I boat on the mississippi and haven't had the need to make a hi speed turn...ever...just gentle turns cruising up and down the river..occassionally going relatively fast for my size boat.
I understand the race boats spinning, flipping, rolling, and getting thrown out of their boats in turns due to making fast sharp turns...I am looking to eventually move up to a bigger boat, probably with a stepped bottom...and am wondering the risk of rolling, ejection, etc for a pleasure boater...Maybe I'm not really an aggressive driver...but I have yet to see the need for me to make hi speed turns on the river or a lake that I frequent. I know there is an inherent risk with any boat...but I always wonder when I read about a pleasure boat that rolls, spins, etc. am I going to be at risk if I own a boat like that??? Just questions. |
Well, the best thing would be to enroll in the Tres Martin Performance Driving School. See the current thread on the OL that rolled....

I already read that...that's what got me thinking about it...
