i mean: did the passengers fall out, did the boat sink, was it demaged or was it just a little ooouuupppps and the boat came back.

Read post #11 again...that was my experience
while driving one when it fell off the pad.


Just go drive the boat.....you'll then be able to
experience it's handling characteristics, and you'll
probably figure out that this isnt the boat you want
to try to go 80+ mph in.

Is this possible or just a story? I just want to know if boats can get unstable or unsecure. or something else happenz.

I do not have experience with more than 230 hp, so please forgive my question. :party-smiley-004:

You need to as yourself is your friend worried about your safety or you dusting his azz with twin 500's? :evilb:

If your ok with sailboats passing you at wide open you could stick with the 454's
