Pause the clip at 2:56. Who is pinching who there? It appears from the video, which I understand only gives us a limited view, that the boat on the far right is pinch the three boats on the left. There appears to be open water to the right side of the lake at that time while there is a boat going the opposite direction on the left along with the spectator fleet. The boat on the right seems to be pinching the three boats on the left side. Thoughts?

You cannot drive at a second in those speeds in that trim angle.
You will flip over long before to reach those angles.
How drives are in that position dont know but for sure they arent that out when boat flip.

hehe . . . I didn't take it as tude just good discussion. I do like to bring awareness to prop rotation though. I have quietly tracked it on accidents in cats for about twelve years now. nearly every cat involved in a violent loss of control was spinning in. only one I can think of that was not spinning in was tomcat in cambridge a few years ago but seeing the boat on the crane it appeared to have skeg strike damage. I've personaly raced both and after going over spinning a superstock cat in I choose to not do that anymore lol.
