LOL YEA BOATS DONT STOP FAST SOME TIMES . ESPECIALY IF THERE JET PROPELD NO PROP DRAGING IN THE WATER . THEY DONT STEAR WELL EITHER WITH NO RUDDER OR OUT DRIVE .

I USED TO RUN A AN RACE A 18.5 FOOT SHORT RUNNER FLAT BOTTEM V DRIVE WITH ABOUT 900 HORSE POWER ON THE NITRIOUS ON THE 502 INCH CHEVY . I CAME CLOSE TO BLOWING IT OVER A COUPLE TIMES ALL I COULD SEE WAS CLOUDS AN TTHEN WHEN IT COMES DOWM AN OF FTHE THROTTLE IT GOES EVERY WHICH WAY BUT STRAIGHT. BRUSED MY RIBS SO BAD ONCE I THOUGHT I WA SGOING TO DIE . I HAD A PARACUTE TO SLOW ME DOWN IF I EVER GAME OUT OF THE BOAT . THAN GOD I NEVER USED IT

I RAN OVER 120 MPH A FEW TIMES . THE BOAT IS ONLY TOUCHING THE WATER BY A FEW INHES OF THE RUNNERS THE REST REALLY WAS REALLY FLYING AN YOU CONTOLED THE WHOLE THING WITH A TRIM PLATE AN YOUR LEFT FOOT ON A PEDAL.
IT WAS ONE OF THE FEW TOYS IVE EVER HAD THAT SCARED ME EVERY TIME I RAN IT . EVEN WITH A STOCK 454 CHEV AN DOING 70 MPH IT WAS A DICEY AT SOME TIMES. THAT THING WOULD THROW YOU OFF THE OVER THE DASH IT STOPED SO FAST IF YOU JUST LET OFF THE GAS OR IF THE ENGINE OR DRIVE BROKE . THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY HALF THE LAKE COMING IN THE BACK AN SWAMPING IT FROM BACK WASH . I EVENTUALY INSTALLED A ONE WAY SPRAG ( WIRL AWAY ) WHEN I STARTED RUNNING IT FOR RECREATION AN STOPED RACING IT BEFORE IT KILLED ME.

ON THE OTHER HAND I HAD A COUPLE HOT JET BOATS THAT RAN ABOUT 70 MPH AN I CAN TELL YOU THAT IF SOMETHING BREAKS AN YOU LOOSE PUMP THRUST YOU HAVE ZERO CONTROL OF STOPPING OR STEARING AN WHAT EVER IS IN FRONT OF YOU IS IN TROUBLE.
I SHEARED A SPLINED COUPLER GOING UP A RIVER IN A HARD TURN ABOUT 50 MPH AN PUT IT ABOUT 50 FEET ON A SAND BAR . IT JUST TUNED BACK STRAIGHT AN I HAD ZERO CONTROL . JUST MISSED A BANK AN TREES SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME AN MY GIRL FRINED. TOOK ALL DAY TO GET IT OFF THE SAND BAR BY AT LEAST 5 GUYS WITH BOATS. NOBODY COULD GET CLOSE TO IT BECAUSE OF THE SHALLOW WATER I COVERED BEFORE HITTING THE BAR. . BOATS DONT DRAG BACK WARDS TO WELL. WE HAD TO SPIN IT AROUND AN THEN PUSH AN PULL TO REFLOAT IT . I INSTALLED A RUDDER AN A JETAVATER SET UP AFTER I FIXED IT. WITH THE RUDDER IT AT LEAST GAVE ME STEARING WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS OR SOME THING BROKE.

I HAVE SEEN A FEW JET SKI ACCIDENTS WERE PEOPLE PANIC AN LET OFF THE GAS AN LOOSE STEARING AN CANT TURN .

IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE WHAT THE BOAT THAT HIT THE ISLAND LOOKED LIKE ????
