I'd say he was running around 40 certainly not 85, not so sure thats a big deal as the wheel was within reach

This run was closer to the claimed speed

Looks like he was trying to get the boat on plane by moving forward...... The props were blowing out....... Maybe he was going 25-30.....

Is there really someone in the cabin throughout the whole video? It's hard to tell as much as the camera is moving.

? Not sure I follow? I was looking at the first vid when the captain left the helm and moved forward to help get the bow down..... Boat was going slow and props were cavitating while getting up on plane...... I was pointing out that it did not look irresponsible to do that while going slow....... Now going 85 and leaving the helm would be retarded......
