I would hate for somebody not to come to LOTO based on these "Armageddon" reports. When it does get rough, you gotta be on your toes and remember that you can always pull back on the throttle.
Shootout water can be really, really rough, but I do not think that it is as bad as it used to be, as many people now watch the actual Shootout at the bars on tv. If a guy is patient and just waits a bit before leaving, it is not nearly as bad. Testosterone and ego's are probably a bigger deal that the wave action! I am sure that the Fountain driver is a good guy and probably a good Captain, but unfortunately just made some bad decisions that resulted in injuries...........................while being recorded. are you new to boating ?? that’s like expecting someone to tuck the drives in when a helicopter comes up beside you. 😀 |

If you watch enough races the v bottoms hook pretty frequently and people don’t bash those guy’s driving. That’s racing. Although….they are in safety gear and prepared for it. We all have the same problem in cars. We get all suited up and have all our safety gear on the race track and then when we jump in our fast street cars without all that you still drive them with the same spirit and probably push further than you should. Most of the time we never pay the consequences but every once in awhile something goes wrong and hindsight is 20/20 Exactly |

looks like to me he was some what parallel to a big wake and when it came down it hooked the nose and bow steered hard right. but thats my guess
Thank you!! X2 - I’m coming up with also. Somehow this thread turned into a chit show as so many get off track!!!! The purpose of is in my very first post. Evidently we have people that are saying the conditions were like the worst they’ve ever seen and others the complete opposite. Regardless i get the boat traffic, wake, washing machine conditions. I just wasn’t seeing any of it in the video and that’s why I asked. Fk I get it like the Bermuda Triangle. 😳 |
Ok he’s a great f-2 racer or was. Name please?? 👂 👂 👂

I have never been to LOTO but plan to this year. For my safety and enjoyable boating experience can someone tell me the favorable LOTO weather patterns I need to pay attention to? Wind direction, wind speed and system barometric pressures?
Thanks, I'm a Lake Michigan boater... |
