Simple then, If you want to turn the way Tres teaches to turn your boat, take his class and find out how and why instead of attempting to do it on the backs of others, The boat on the video was not your boat, not the same length, width, weight, power, bottom etc. Trying to figure out how and why to turn that boat off the a short video and biased discussion on the internet, then trying to put that to use on your boat with passengers is why they say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

I agreee 100%. Maybe the OP didn't meant to be bashing, but it sure comes across that way to me too. Then everyone else jumps on the band wagon. I also know the Driver here, not only has he owned many OL's, I think he owned 3 at one time, 2 for sure and lives in Florida. What I am getting at is he has ALOT of time in these boats running much faster speeds than this video.
To the OP, you sound like someone who needs some training or experiece before you post stuff like this. In your latter post you are concerned about turning at 30-40mph, that shouldn't be concern in any boat. I am not trying to be a hater, just pointing out the obvious

Agree...I don't think it was intentional but this type of thread can get out of control on this forum, maybe stating something like "is this a good technique?" or similar which would be more like an educational or discussion opportunity would have come off better.

I do. OP chose that derisive title on purpose then back-pedaled upon being called out- classic internet chest thumping.
