Wow..........Glad to hear everyone is ok!

Those videos should get deleted ASAP if he doesn't have that boat insured as 1800 HP. With the hassles some OSOr's are having with insurance companies these types of claims will surely get processed with a fine tooth comb!

I’ve been on a 36 Sunny 700 boat (same one?) with Wayne behind the wheel on LOTO running over 90 MPH on a Saturday and the boat did nothing goofy at speed. So glad no one hurt. Crazy.

No wonder they are fast. Looks like paper mache layup. Glad he was able to walk away.

Glad to hear he’s ok.
by the looks of it the deck is just screwed to the hull in that boat? That always scares me with performance boats.

It kind of looks like a crab boat now with that steering wheel stick straight up on the port side.

Too many people believe that you can just throw more horsepower at any given hull, and expect it to perform linearly. That's simply not the case.
