This must be Sy's other screen name. Because the Rice Hauler classified thread. I went and read the original about the recovery. 400 something pages and he never delivered the REAL story

Well, looks like you all want my head? LOL. Some pretty funny comments though I must say. I guess the next time I post a video in the safety area it needs to be pure carnage on the water. Or risk being keel hauled by the crew here!

I didn't say it was epic bad,( until the odd time when it goes wrong and results in an accident). I said it was something I see done a fair amount. The marine patrols and other boaters don't like it and it will often get you stopped and gone over with fine tooth comb for any infraction the marine patrol can find. The closest was the one member who thought he was inside a boy at 40 seconds. What we see at 40sec in poor resolution is a canoe or kayak. The safety risk is running back and fourth across the harbor mouth and 80 mph while his buddy videos the boat for his add. I have seen guys do this and they never just do it once or twice like this video shows ( and he most likely didn't do two passes either). They run back and fourth while a land based friend films with a phone or crappy camera a bunch of times through the harbor mouth traffic. This clip isn't busy but you have sailboats, canoes/kayak, small inflatable also. Also remember how videos in your phone look so far away vs real distance.....so he will also likely be closer than he appears. You can see him pass the light house at the mouth around 44 seconds. All it takes is a guy coming out of the harbor hot and him to be just off the point but behind the rocks for an issue to develop. He is not taking into account boats and small craft, harbor mouth proximity, etc. People likely complained that some guy was running back and fourth across the harbor mouth at high speed or marine patrol spotted him and pulled him over for a warning and full going over. I have seen guys stand on the piers or narrow harbor mouths as their buddy blazes by 30 feet off the narrow entrance! All to get a cool video to post or help sell a boat. You get the gist.

Now for those who enjoy good carnage...... I will leave you with this nice little clip. I bet this gave a few crew a scare or two. As I'm sure it was far more violent than it appears on film..which is pretty bad.

That was my second guess... here is a preview of what some forum member would like to do to you. Beware of the toes, some will take their shoes off [ATTACH=CONFIG]529758[/ATTACH]
