Take the boat to BrandX and have it fixed correctly. Call Tres or Brad and learn to run the boat. If he doesn’t want to take the class I’d be happy to run it for him.


Whatever Crown! Its not comfortable to stand in front of a seat at any speed that doesn't drop away and seated cant see squat but thanks for your opinion.

I would have to agree with crownlpx on this one. In the first video maybe he didnt know. Or was just a stupid move in the moment. We all had them the thing is you have to learn from them. But in more then one video thats just stupidity in my opinion. If the seat is broken then fix it. It don't look like he is to broke to have it done and could be done in a day. I'm sorry but it don't take much to up set these types of boats. Spin a prop or blow a drive and that boat can and most likely will hook. We have all seen it.

Sorry if my comment has sparked some criticism. I actually agree with what was said but this is just a fun forum, the point has been made. If you care to search this guy on the internet a bit, I don't think he's someone that will get upset over our comments but more likely just do his own thing and not care too much.

R.E. driving courses/training, all very good ideas but some of you may not have noticed, this boat is based in Australia and I doubt there's anything like a Tres Martin performance boating school,there.

I still like the vids, thanks to the OP and 'The Candyman'. Take care.
