DRIFTER_016 Posted April 30, 2019 Report Posted April 30, 2019 DAYUM!!! Surprised they had no injuries. 1
DRIFTER_016 Posted April 30, 2019 Author Report Posted April 30, 2019 I've gone 80 in a buddies boat back when I was young and invincible. I'm old and brittle now sooooooo.............................
dave524 Posted April 30, 2019 Report Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Totally insane on a public waterway. Anything over possibly 80 kph or 50 mph should not be allowed on a public waterway only on a closed course racetrack. Same as our roadways, want to race, take it to a track. edit: same with snowmobiles Edited April 30, 2019 by dave524 2
Terry Posted April 30, 2019 Report Posted April 30, 2019 Yeah once you hit 70 miles an hour things can go bad real quick anything over that is just crazy 1

Terry Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 I think it was round 1990 around here they lifted the 150 hp limit
woodenboater Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 just cuz you can, doesn't mean you should. definitely darwin candidates. 1
Fisherman Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 A comment like "we can laugh about it" tells me everything I need to know. 1
OhioFisherman Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 Seemed like a decent boat, you must have easy money to think losing it was worth taking a chance on losing it? 2

There was another one of those foot bridges on the Cleveland shoreway that connects I 90 to I 77 and I 71, a few years back a truck hit it and created a traffic nightmare because he destroyed it.
AKRISONER Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 Watching him battle that chine walk the whole video was giving me anxiety. ive gone 70mph as a passenger in a triton...what was even scarier was that we were doing it on lake Marion with trees flying past us the whole time hahaha. My boat does 55mph but doesn’t walk, even that scares me though, you feel like you can’t do much but just hold on while the boat is flying through the air barely touching the water. My normal 45 cruising speed is plenty good enough for me
Old Ironmaker Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 First I have to say that those guys had someone watching their backs otherwise they should be dead. Now I'll say they are idiots and deserved to lose the boat. The dump truck incident happened regularly at the plant. Drivers would leave the box up and drive away. Once a guy hit a high pressure natural gas and oxygen line and split them in half. That was fun. I suggested a limit switch be installed so when a driver puts his rig in drive with the box up a device would protrude from under his seat and insert into an area of the body where nothing should be inserted. They won't do it again. Some may recall a few years ago when a driver hit the upper span of the Skyway Bridge in Hamilton with the box up doing 100K. Shut the bridge down for over a week. Another idiot. 1

LeXXington Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 Series of mistakes that could have been avoided.... oh you mean going that fast lol
mamona Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 Incredible how boat did not survive but those guys did.
Squid Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 This is just for guys with physical limitations lol.
