Ok, I've just got to ask. What happened to the guy in the back seat between the first and second pictures?

I don't get it. I don't see why people think jumping cruiser wakes with go-fast boats looks cool.
Landing a 35+ foot boat on the transom like a jet ski makes for a TERRIBLE landing that is hard on equipment.
There is a reason why these boats are long, pointy, and come to a figurative knife edge at the bottom.
Use the whole boat to soften the landing.

THIS is how you launch a boat:

I've gotten a boat out of shape before, and I was lucky.
I just don't see why anyone would do this on purpose.

Mother Nature handed us a challenge for Boyne Thunder 2016. The positive that came from Boyne Thunder weekend would be the awesome pics from Pete. No one will forget BT 2016 because we will be sharing the pictures of it for the next 20 years.

Exactly!

im sure tim has a few big air pics kicking around

He was getting a Beer. It was actually the first jump.

And It usually lands pretty level. If it didn't I usually hear about it from the Co-pilot quick!
