We may be some hard headed people, but at least you don't catch us driving 70 mph through someone else's wake just to see if we can handle it. I know it could happen to anybody, but this is the mentality I attribute to most bass fisherman...especially when they kill muskies because they think that the muskies are eating all the bass. I'm glad the guy and the boat are alright...one could only hope that the result of the accident is a smarter, more humble bass fisherman.; ▶ Reply to This

They need to lower the rating on that thing - did you see the way that motor weighed the back end down when that thing was airborne. That is a recipe for disaster in a world where any jacka$$ can run a boat with no training. Light boats with the newer heavier HO motors are definitely dangerous in the wrong hands.; ▶ Reply to This

I knew a guy who bought a Nitro with a 175hp on it. He couldn't even open the throttle up to wide open because he said the boat would chine-walk so bad. I wonder how many boat companies are cutting corners on safety issues and such to keep their boats affordable? Since a brand new 200hp motor will cost close to $20,000.00, the cost of the boat itself needs to be kept down in order to be able to sell it. It's probably only a matter of time before someone gets killed because of a boat company taking shortcuts in order to stay in business.

This is only my personal opinion of course. Glad the guy is ok.; ▶ Reply to This

Theres no reason to have the motor trimmed that far out. My boat will do 60+ but, I can only think of a handful of times I ever needed to go that fast. All of them were due to incoming lightning.
Besides the first guy to the spot gets it, LOL.; ▶ Reply to This
