Oh yea it happened as reported, spoke to a guy who is best buds with Bill T,son (Ron T) they were touching close to 200 and a pleasure boat pulled in front, they were cutting wide to go around & hooked- the 3 times around is also correct- if u can picture the old movie top gun when they got into a flat spin-apparently same sort of deal and then she semi stuffed.
And yep no injuries and my way is getting the once over but appears ok
As far as pullin those kinda speeds on that water - I dunno- all I no is I'm saving my sheckles for a mystic. Granted I will be 253yrs old......

Well they certainly spun, hard to tell how many times, at least twice from what i can see.
They were certainly going fast. 190mph fast?? who knows.
Lucky guys right there.

It is hard to judge the speed in the video (or even the side to side distance of the boats). I'd be surprised if that was 190 mph, but one thing is for sure... That glass-like water is what kept this as nothing more than a sunny side up spin. Had the water been much rougher the boat would have caught and flipped/rolled violently.
Glad to see everyone is okay, that could have been a really bad scene! Hopefully it was a learning experience too.

Thank's for posting the video and thanks to the person who took the video. To me it looked like they only spun once but if it is two or three times it really doesn't matter. It is hard to judge the speed but he was going at a good clip. What really surprised me about the spin is that the water was calm. Was there a mechanical problem with the trim of the boat or the rudder? Anyways I'm glad that everyone was OK.
