These boats flat out rip. This is the boat only race segment of the Bridge to Bridge.

Didnt even know about the boat race???
Their boats are badd ass though! IMO, the baddest O/Bs on the planet.
Where O/B drag is big over here, they put two lunatics on skis down there, throw a brick on the gas pedal and let er rip!
Saw a vintage, short clip surface recently that was of a vee bottom w/twin OMC F-1 V-8s on it!
Check out some of their trailers too. Over the top, no rules, no limits.
The Bridge to Bridge is on my shrinking bucket list.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

I like how he is feathering the gas at 120+ ...and rolls it up to 130 with ease. In the turns, I'm thinking to myself, this thing trips and they are in a big hurt. You definitely need quite the pair to get behind the wheel of one of these. Did watch it to the end when he came off the gas and it started chine walking? Crazy...

How about the twin or triple O/B capsule boat he passes at the start?

I think the ski racing is now limited to 120mph?
They were knocking on the door of 140 prior to that
I think the coroner told them to slow down, it was kept quiet but there was a nasty death of a skiier in front of the crowd at a finish line at the grafton bridge.Last edited by powerabout; 11-14-2018 at 08:15 PM.
