Someone posted this video on one of our private message boards and I thought that it is something that everyone should see.



Be safe out there and remember that if your bass boat is chime-walking, you need to trim your engine down a bit... you can see in the video how that boat is almost completely out of the water.

For those of you that think you're bullet proof.

Ever see a Ranger go airborn for 60 feet!

Crossing the wake was not a good move.

Especially when you have your engine trimmed way to high! That guy was just pushing that boat way beyond it's abilities...

Something about driving those bass boats so fast. Once they get up on the pad sometimes they have about one square foot hull surface in contact with the water.

You could see in one of those runs the guys boat was getting a little squirley. At those high speeds most of the boat is out of the water anyway, which means you are literally flying through the air with very little contact with the water.

Of course this is why they are so fast but on the other hand, it doesn't take much to get them out of shape at the top end.

Geo,

All that guy had to do was trim his motor down a little bit and that boat would have been more under his control... He was "out of control" for most of that video, he just didn't realize it. I'll bet he knows better now! The good news for him is that he came out alive...
