That boat sure looked like a good handler. He wasn't working the wheel too much to keep it flying on the pad.

I agree. I have always liked, but not have experienced the thrill of driving an Allison, Hydrostream, Stoker or other hot-rod OB boat like that. It is awesome!

WOW!!!!!

120 MPH in a Bass boat, that is one hell of a thrill ride!

You are totally correct....you can see him working the hell out of that wheel.

IMO he's not working the wheel very much. My old Hydrostream at 80 mph was more of a handful that that boat at 120, and mine was set up right for going fast with solid motor mounts, fully hydraulic steering, hot foot, and trim on the wheel.

I've been 90 in a center steer Allison, and the driver was correcting more than this vid.

Respect to the driver, and whoever set up this boat in the vid. The glass smooth water definitely helps too :)

Speaking of flying wacker boats on the pad...I love the Hydrostream Viper in this vid at 1:27. That is skill. :Score-101010:

No training wheels :)

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. No more calls please!

And to tell you the truth, the better you are at it, the more subtle the movements are. Yea, he's good!
