I could turn my Malibu Wakesetter at 45 mph.

Never spit a passenger out and it didn't have this warning.

Driver error or 'best guess' design?

The plaintiff explained he was reading the instructions at speed and ran over the other boat and didn't understand how it happened.
LMAO.
If it can happen in America it will.
Its like placing a warning label on a ladder or a cup of coffee.
You just cant fix stupid.

I have to say it is pretty much admitting liability for an ill handling hull design. What other product in any market has this warning since the 3 wheel ATV?

But if you own the number "1" you gotta blame it on the driver.

Gave me an idea for your next ad campaign Pat. "Cigarette may be Number One, but Active Thunder is Number TWO...cuz we are the $hit!"

You are really glad you sold me a boat now, aren't ya?

That warning is there due to the step bottom design and the fact that most people do not understand how to properly handle them at speed in a turn. The reduction in wetted surface and the aeration of the inside prop and skeg on a step bottom boat in a turn is what leds to people spinning them. Hardly 'best guess' design...more nature of the beast. Same as that it is the nature of the beast that your 'Bu is going to ride like chit in even a mild chop.
