The Gulf was a washing Machine that day... Waves from every direction... I did not see it coming... The boat is VERY tab Sensitive and maybe I had just a touch too much... Jas... Do you think some additional positive trim would have helped??? I NEVER run the boat with Negative Trim... Dead Level would be the most I would ever go....
SICK AIR TIME!!

More neutral trim may have helped but who knows, I'd have to be driving it to really feel it.. it may have just been one of those waves... But if you were over trimmed it could have been a scary moment.
Great video by the way!

Tank, Noooo I did not take it that way at all... I would like to learn from this and constructive feed back is welcome and appreciated... To be honest it did not scare me but it did kinda shake up my passengers... Especially the one that flew out of her seat... I was really glad she was not banged up...

Boat looks awesome either way. Hope you can make a killer still out of that video to hang on the wall!

During a Poker Run there was a chick on a 46 Cig that was running @ about 100. She freaked out and was trying to jump off....the vid reminds me of that. BTW, Nice Air!

Mike I've seen those loop restraints on Skaters that are mounted on each side of the seat. I think they would build confidence in your passengers when they can hold on to them and keep themselves in the bolsters during "flight" lol.
Do you have life jackets for all your passengers? I couldn't tell from the vid.

We did that a few years ago at NYC run in Lets Rock. It was very rough chopper was low and on us when caught a nice one and straight up about 3 feet from hitting the chopper. You could see the camera men jump back as we came towards them.
We never got to see the video though...
Your Boat looks Great in Flight... Looks like you were having a blast.
