Most of the vids said Poker run, there was not another boat in any of the videos, and thats not a very impressive throttle job, Kinda slow handed and pulled back too far, kinda like he needed the brakes on, a good throttle job maintains prop speed, not lose it, he was just taxing the driveline...

I was at that poker run in my 26 american offshore & I don't remember any rough water that would launch a 36ft boat like that. do glads ride that rough or is this operator error.

Glads. run great. He looks like he's running and flying straight, throttling sounds good... Catching air is fun! Try it sometime you will get hooked..

really didn't see much air, no clear water behind them. seems like they could used a little more tab and throttle. don't know the boat, do they run bow high like that?

i've spent lots of time catching air,yes it's addictive. never rode in a glad maybe it's just this video that makes it look like a rough ride.

looked like a good time, but even in my 60mph 26 footer if im going out to hammer down and mess around, i have 4 matching vests, and who ever is on the boat, they put them on. no messin around with your life of others.

nice boat tho, and im guessing its the vid that makes it look hard. think about it this way, just the unsteady hand video taping makes me dizzy when watching,

it looks like a ITS BRAVO SET UP WITH STAGGERED MOTORS, thats why the tail gets small when they open it up. always counter rotating in or out most boats spin out better dock handling and steady on the water in faster but boat is looser a drivers boat and docking is harder. I know I would not want to throttle left handed so if he was use to right hand and now went left thats may be why he was off on the sticks,
