Just a matter of time.

No PFD, either. Natural Selection at work.

Did you notice the high-tech cable steering? My dad had that on our 1976 MFG with a Johnson 40-hp outboard.

No big deal, he's just having fun, why all the hate...

He looked pretty comfortable making his boat do tricks, but how would you like to be his passenger...

I would be scared as sh*t riding with that dude when he is doing that (at first).

That dude is a nut. But he's got some skills though.


Darrell.

Pretty damn cool.

p.s. PFD would show some smarts

Yeah, once you gain confidence in boat and driver, it actually looks like a lot of fun. I wonder if he makes riders sign waivers not to bring suit in case of injury. Video sure makes great evidence though...

Hey, when I was a kid if I could have gotton my GT160 up in the air like that I'd be doing it every minute. That was just plain cool.

OH COME ON GUYS ,,,,, JUST A LITTLE BOW LIFT ,,,wrong prop !!!:lolhit:

Looks like those sea cows at LOTO only he's going 12x faster

Could be Nydahl steering which is used in a lot of outboard race applications. It may look like the old cable steering from a jon boat but it works very well.

Yeah exactly. Our old 11' Boston whaler with a 25 had that same setup.....Teleflex special: 6 pullies, a wheel and some cable and you're good to go.

That steering is the only reason he can do that. You need good, tight steering, overpower, a very light boat, big trim, and it's not that hard.

Homer, you know whats cool? Passing you and then looking back and looking right under your boat as your jumping waves.

HOMER, I forgot to add, Jumping out of the water while trying to keep up.

Looks like fun!

I had a 15ft Laser center Nydahl steering w/ a 140 on it - it would do that chit - fun as hell............. till the steering cable broke @ a high rate of speed....... ouch....

looks like fun,the only person to ride with him must be mr bright,you knoe NOTSO BRIGHT LOL.:stupid:

Yeah this sort of stuff goes on all the time down here. There is a Lab that often appears near where I live performing similar stunts. I have a mate with a 10' tinny & 40hp & loves transom riding...
