Okay, an incremental increase in speed will not cause this boat to blow over. How much would it take to accomplish this is not possible to speculate, but I doubt that the boat has enough speed in it to make it blow over. The water it is landing back on is flat and there appears to be no severe winds to create any handling problems.
Other than the wake jump, it looks like the typical 28’ Skater running. There are quite a few 28’s Skaters that run over 120 and they have not blown over, so a run at some 80-90 is not nearly enough to blow the boat over.
To say a bit more speed would cause this boat to blow over seems a bit strong to say the least.
