He wasn't going fast enough to blow it completely over, but he did a nasty wheelie dance. The "kiting" bow usually slows it down quickly at those speeds and brings it back down. WAY too rough of water to be running solo like that. If he had stuffed it, things would have been really ugly.
There's a choppy 15-frame video somewhere of a guy getting a 21 Talon much higher than that-- It flew up airborne, spun the rear end around, and slammed back down upright.Last edited by pyro; 09-27-2012 at 02:39 PM.

Maybe it's just me but looks like a lot of trim for a tunnel boat. Glad he stayed top side up!

As stated, way too ruff to be running any speed with that boat.Lee Sanderson
