Re: No fair pulling the Leviathan thread...
After watching both vids I thought that you put a slant on it that was unfair with the label of your thread. That probably influenced the reponses you got especially as you only posted one link at a time.
There are plenty of links here that show the dangers of boating.
Not saying that I thought that what was depicted was wise.
Far from it. It could have gotten real ugly.
You did know where they came from and you knew that it was being filmed for a purpose by an experienced racer.

Curious about your boat... 28' Phantom? Were are these boats manufactured?
2 x 325hp diesels... How fast does it run?

Let's see...Insurance companies, sailboaters (how close was Leviathan's flyby on the vid of the sailboat, 40'? Were they part of the film crew, or just someone who got in the way of a responsible controlled situation
), waterfront land owners who want to restrict speeds and access, etc, etc. That kind of stuff affects us.

Re: No fair pulling the Leviathan thread...
The responses on the other thread were uncalled for here on OSO, hence I deleted my own thread. Please don't confuse me with OSO Management/Steve.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I don't have to change mine, and it just so happens a few agree with my view.
Enjoy your holiday.

Re: No fair pulling the Leviathan thread...
Who knows, it may affect rates everywhere...
It adds to the perception by non-performance boaters that go-fasts are owned and driven by irresponsible idiots. Hell, most of the posting I've seen on this video, here and elsewhere, was against it, from go-fast owners.
It just adds fuel to the fire that we are under already. Who would have thought that one kid (in how many years of pro hockey?) getting killed by an errant puck at a game would mandate that every arena have huge nets surrounding the ice? Not the same situation of course, but an example of how public perception can change things.
