The boys need to tune it better. May need a different prop.

I thought someone would comment.
Who could be disappointed when you have a Mod VP boat that runs over 130 mph.
Where could you safely run a boat this size at that speed?
The video location is ideal, but one wave or a bit of wind and this boat is gone.
If the driver falls out in the crash... he is dead.
Some people have boats that are just TOO FAST!

He sure is doing a lot of turning for running in a ditch lol

I think most of us would be hurt real bad if we crash any of our boats.

That's the difference with a modvp cockpit...if he was a real man he'd get rid of the windscreen and get some wind in his face :mrgreen:.

Zaphod Beeblebrox (Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy) had the right idea...
