Re: High Torque Marine HTM
Here are a few threads:
This one has alot of the end posts deleted after the news of the crash was posted. 149.999 mph on a lake with a 35 mph speed limit???

Normally I wouldn't say anything, but when "speed wasn't a factor" is pointed out, I'd tend to disagree. TOTALLY PREVENTABLE and from everything I've read the drive/gimble was being blamed for the hook and roll, not a bad steering wheel. Something about a Bravo not holding up to 1,000 or so HP comes to mind.
I'm done here now before I get accused of being an HTM hater.

But let me tell you that after I research this and find out different then, there is a problem. She tells me she has plenty of backup notes and copies of emails between you and her. She has asked you for copies of vin numbers and outdrive numbers yet you never gave them to her. you never gave her a copy of your original dealer agreement to purchase the boat. I am trying to represent HTM in selling their boats across the country for them. If your negative comments hold no merritt then you and me have to fix that. Also it has been one week since I started this post and you still have not called my phone even though I have asked you to repeatedly on this site and speedwake. ???

Re: High Torque Marine HTM
the driver steve that flipped the boat at loto was a 20 year old kid who had never been in an HTM before or had never run one at speed. The boat was owned by a relative who asked steve to drive the boat for the shootout.
