FYI that driver has owned several OL's including XXX, a few big cats and has a turbine MTI currently......he has as many hours at 100+ mph as some of the best OSO keyboard experts! :D

Critical? I don't think so. He has 2-3 revolutions on the wheel. Not good. Turns around and takes his attention/body away at speed. Who knows where his trim and tabs were.

I wouldn't let my daughter ride with him.

At the minimum, no lanyard.

Here, feel free to critique this. http://youtu.be/srGUwjyV3xQ

I give myself a F for no jacket but an A for technique.

Not seeing it? Boat looks pretty stable through the turn. Who knows what the helm ratio is? 2 turns on that could be 3/4 on your boat.

watched your video,,
I think you did a great job,,everyone is having fun on you are been very responsible staying away from boat traffic and not doing anything stupid to put yourself and passengers at harms way.

now somebody else could watch your that video and come up with a different conclusion such as,,at 45 seconds you passenger in the back is standing up,,no life jackets, a couple of times you took your hand off the throttles,at times the passenger in rear was waving and not holding on,at no time did you even glance at your passengers to make sure they were ok..

for the record I think you did a great job but anybody could find something to b!tch about..

How does he get a ball cap to stay on over 100 mph? That's the real question here. . . . . . .

If you are trying to learn how to properly drive a boat off of the internet you might reconsider owning/operating one.

that was my next question...lol

i've been with him before and would never hesitate hooping in a boat with him again. he has a ton of experience in ol's. it is clam there in the bay and look how much faster a ol's race boat is going around a pin at speed. i see no problem with that turn.

Watch the wake behind the boat. :eek:
That would get my attention.

Totally focused, didn't cut the blind corners, slowed down for the big wakes. I'd ride with you.
