Size doesn't matter. It's the motion on the ocean, here the lake, that matters.

SB,

How did I miss this...?

Surprisingly few. I know of exactly ONE in my 15yrs of running model boats. We had far more injuries from falls and mishaps at the waterline. Had one guy take a 12lb scale unlimited to the shin that had lost radio and hit him at ~50MPH while he was launching another boat. Took him two years to walk without a cane.

For the record, these boats in that video are slow.

This was from 17yrs ago. They are only running ~90MPH or so. They run much faster now. The electrics have completely blown the curve. The electric straight-a-way boats are running damned near 150MPH. Real speeds. Not "scale" speed.

Thanks. Brad.
