I nearly did this myself at age 15 in a 17 foot Bomber bass boat. It caught air stood up in the front end and I killed the throttle and came down HARD and took on some water. No damage to me or the boat and I haven't done it since thank goodness. When that boat raised like that in the front end on that video I had a major flashback. Scary stuff be careful out there guys.

Man,what a nightmare.Good reason to start small in boating and work your way up.That could very easily be anyone of us if our first boat did 70mph and there was someone to show off for.

starting off small is alway the way to go...i had a 17 footer with a 115 for 7 years before i recently upgraded to 70+ mph boat....im still getting used to the faster boat and refuse to push it out of my comfort level even though i know it will do it....seeing these type of wrecks should help us all remember to wear our kill switch and a life jacket....its not worth losing your life just because you're in a hurry

John, you see what I'm still in at 45 years old LOL. I DON'T LIKE SPEED on the the water esp. the river, to many things I can't control. When you and Doug goin to get down to the river...Chuck
