Why would you be running that fast in the ruff, with people standing up in the boat?

Wow!! Glad everyone was okay. Can someone explain what went wrong there? It doesn't look like he was turning. Wake from another boat maybe?

Driver looked at end of his skill set in that sequence. Money buys everthing but experiance. Well, actually, money can buy experiance. That dude just needed some more.

Boy he's mastered the throttles.. slam em close and slam em open.. "Bring your bikinis, plenty of standing room!"

lucky the poor guy is still alive.. though the ringing in his ears might be a constant reminder of that incident, he drilled the port side face first..

+1 . . . . it terrifies me how many operators simply cannot read their environment or are aware of their own abilities.
