Looks like he almost turned all three of them into spear fishermen.

Looks like a group of NON boaters......boating!

Exact reason I stopped inviting non boaters in favor of boaters that are broke down or between boats, etc.

Oh yeah I didn't feel to safe while along for the ride while watching this....

Boy, I sure hope that was just ALL just in the driver????? That boat at 101 mph in calm water sure looked like a very bad ride to me....

I thought the dude on the helm was way too casual given the speed and the wakes they encountered.

I'm just curious. What was wrong with the turn? Only thing I didn't care for is the lack of safety gear/ devices.

Non-issue, a little hop, wave induced, slow speed, more wetted surface, look at the trim indicators and tab indicators which are visible in this vido drives are trimmed up, tabs are all the way up, I see nothing wrong, they are just enjoying a boat ride.

If he buried the drives going into and during the turn I would have a problem, but that did not occur, looks A-OK to me

in my experience you want to run plenty of up trim on turns in the step mono boats

Not showing a lot of attention at those speeds, turning around talking to passengers while flying by buoys and boats. Don't want to be boating the day these guys are, that's for sure.
