It is normal in my boat. I've been in a 46' where you had to loosen it up a bit more. Maybe because mine is so wide, and it packs a lot of air. I loosened it up a bit too much one time and the bow lifted on me, and I thought we were going over. Scared the piss out of me :eek:
Now, I keep the bow locked to the water....LOL :D

(I've got a cool video from the Desert Storm poker run, I just need another day or two) :drink:

I only watched the first video so far....very cool...but i find it a bit irresponsible to be blasting 140mph with no one having any type of visible PFD's on.....jump on me for ruining it if you must... but doesn't the sport have enough bad press from accidents as it is... :(

That video is not my boat nor was I in it. Yes, at those speeds Lifelines and kill switch lanyards wouldn't be a bad idea. They would certainly help to find the body faster after a crash.

when I worked offshore they made us wear a life jacket just for that reason. They didnt want to spend to much monies looking for our bodies, they wanted them to float.

I was pretty sure most if not all Skaters/True Tunnels run faster a little negative. Cant imagine having a 36 loosen up at the speeds you are traveling. My 28 will get extremely loose with the props turning in, I know what you mean about having the bow up in the air!!
