I knew a guy that raced those in Florida except they were regular ribs (vee bottom). He was a big guy (240+, 6 ft+) and said it was a blast but you could get smacked around badly.
I don't see the fun......I see a lot of bodily exposure to spinning props as light boats are bouncing all around you!

30 years ago, didn't think too much about getting beat up a bunch and was still convinced of being invincible so spinning props would not have crossed the mind. Now, after aneurysm surgery and one knee surgery last year, back surgery a few years ago and knee replacement scheduled for Feb, it's a whole new world. But I still got hair.

They had prop guards on. Not perfect but better than nothing
