It is childish! And I do it every time!
I sort of hold neutral with the jet reverser so it throws water everywhere too.
Look at you with the extra credit!!!

Wait a minute, Tommy does crack? Great video!! Really love the camera of Tony working the pedals trying to get the boat to set. Video looks sped up, unless you've been in that seat! That's why right there!
I think it’s kinda the same thing when I tell people I have a tournament ski boat and they see it and ask how fast does it go! I tell them it’s for a flat wake at 36mph. They look at me weird and don’t understand how a chevy V8 in a 19ft boat that only ways 2500lbs would go so slow.
...Well yeah... they’re used to be this... this was 12 years ago...this is the boat I sit next to when I’m outside of my garage with the door open listening to vinyl...
Not just a like I give you a FUCK YEAH!!I gotta ask...
How old are you???
Your general consensus is WAY off the mark. What you are referring to is called a drag boat. Goes fast in a straight line and nothing else.
Ever heard of Stoker? Those hulls turn like they are on a rail. If you're not holding on, your gonna be in the drink, when the driver whips the steering wheel and you ain't paying attention!
Pretty much any v-drive will be the same way. The best part of pulling a Real skiier is when he falls. Whip the wheel, wot, and you race back to see if he's ok.
Lots of hulls turn, and turn harder than most cars will. Straight lines, for the most part, are boring. Unless you're 100+ of course.
Maybe a wake boat is fun. But if you're judging fun, by the company you keep? You don't even need a boat for that, right? Any old campfire will do!
Performance boats are for those of us that are adrenaline junkies. We live for that rush. We crave that feeling.
Shredding a dune, carving a perfect turn, on whatever moves you. Feeling the wind flapping your cheeks, once the speedo moves past 80. It's the rush that does it for me. View attachment 988522
Adrenaline is the drug of choice for a lot of us on here. It would be hard to get high doing 35mph on the water.
I feel the need...
He struggled to answer the question... I could give a million reasons why on the spot even if the weren't related...It was his uncle, not him.
Why own a performance boat? Deep Subject- Why have a annual pass to Disneyland, Why have a off road vehicle, why own a golf cart, why own a $1200 shotgun to shoot trap and skeet, why go metal detecting and prospecting- and on and on- Because its FUN!!
Yeah but how fast is the skier going...
36 mph in the vector as the boat
That 7:10-8:00 mark is beauty.... gotta love redneck ingenuity
