It wasn't a flyby, we were side by side with Cintron and turning is not to easy at 161 wich is what our telemetry read at that sweeper. If I let of the throttle off with a rudder boat we would have gone strait into the beach.
Bottom line is that was not an intentional flyby

I lost it because the bow fell quickly, lifting the stern (rudder) briefly. by that time we had caught the wake with the sponson.

I Guess it Gets Very Crazy Going Into A Turn At 160 Plus And Not Being Able To Lift,,,, It Must Be A Hell Of A Ride Knowing If U Lift U Will Not Have Any Steering,,,,, Not Like The Little 24 Scotty

It didin't, Cintron slid out into us, he was still turning when we straitened out to head to the next pin. We both apexed the turn in different spots. We were wide and had made the turn and he went in tight and came out. At that speed, one second he is 100yard to the inside, the next second he is tapping on the canopy.
