It does'nt take a rocket sceincetist to figure out how to do a "wheelie" If you need that much help to do something SOOOOO stupid, then I sugest you grow up and smell the roses. You don't belong in a boat.

That boat is also modified in the transom, built stonger. Nothing stock about this setup.
If you do that in a normal runabout, cc, bassboat ect. you will eventually ruin your transom. You will also need a low pitch prop with tons of bite.
Go to screamandfly, I bet some of the guys over there can tell you about this stuff.

Two questions:
1. Does he have a camera installed under the bow so he can see the potential victims he could run over?
2. At what point during the stunt is he not a douchebag?
Notice during the nighttime shot, he's doing wheelies and no one is paying attention "to the schmuck in his little red boat."

Biggest trick is big diameter, low pitch, a bunch of blades and stupid amounts of trim.
There's another video floating around of a guy doing the same thing in a 12' or 13' aluminum boat w/a 30 hp motor on it.
Used to have a Flightcraft O/B barefoot O/B w/a 200 Merc and a 5 blade wheel on it that was large fun. At idle you trim the motor up so it's barely in the water then pin it. W/it that high it's into the "tilt" mode which won't hold that much pressure and bleeds off allowing the motor to drop. Took a few try's but finally got where I could get the boat to clear the water on the hit and then keep my foot on the floor through to WFO. Came back to a crowd at the ramp
Here's shot while playing w/my old Sonic. Excess up trim and pulsing the throttles on calm water.

Pretty cool. This is a guy in a stunt show. This is what they do. Picture Joie Chitwood on the water.
I'd hope they have a safety crew ready to roll.
Not something you'd try on the river while someone's holding your beer.
