stupid is as stupid does.

 

[Danger Dave]

That seems a little fast for trolling.

 

[River Runnin]

Morons!

The driver posted it on scream and fly a couple weeks ago.

Stick to fishing

Can anyone tell what language they're speaking? Sounded Slavic of some sort.

I believe they're from Brazil.

 

[spectras only]

Well, obviously there was no max HP rating tag attached on the potato chip boat's dash.

 

[stephenkatsea]

They speak Portuguese in Brazil. Usually sounds like a mix of Italian and Spanish.

 

[Universal Elements]

I believe they're from Brazil.

Yes they are speaking Portuguese

 

[stephenkatsea]

Yes they are speaking Portuguese

Thanks

Hmmmm. That 400 sure makes that bass boat scream. Over 100mph in a bass boat that appears to be overpowered. That boat was unstable above 80. He was "sawing" the steering wheel trying to keep it on the pad or level if it doesn't have a pad and blowout was bound to happen. Very dangerous. I'm not a speed whimp but I would never go that fast in bass boat not designed to go that fast.

 

[dave29]

Hope his insurance co doesn't see this!

It works right up until it don't.

Maybe I'm alone here, but anytime I am trying to break my own speed records, I'd rather have witnesses outside of my vehicle. 100 in a bass boat seems a little risky to me. Not a boat engineer, but common sense tells me that's the equivalent of a rocket powered Fiat.

Do you think they used the trolling motor to get it back to shore

 

[wsuwrhr]

Im in, still.

Is this an HTM bass boat?

I'm really sorry, I just had too. No, seriously, I'm just kidding and really sorry about that joke.

 

[Headless hula]

I dont understand all the shit comments here?
The dude in the htm was almost the subject of a similar video, and the comments are all positive about that guy?

Guy is pushing the boundaries and lived to tell about it. Hopefully he learns and moves forward.

 

[Rattle Can Lou]

The indicator for me as said before...way to much steering input to be safe. IT was on the ragged edge from about 80 something up to the crash..NUTZ..

I guess the replies to you will be; "well an HTM is designed to go fast?".

Yeah, I'm all for hot rodding. Without this shit, I would have nothing to watch on Youtube.

Exactly!!! LOL But even if no one ask me for my .02.....I still may give it!!!

 

[monkeyswrench]

In my defense, I have no issues with doing stupid stuff at high speeds. I am just not one to do so with passengers. I could probably promise you if I had a bass boat with a 400, I'd probably test it out too.

Don't get me wrong, you find a couple J2 rockets, I'll supply the Fiat...you machinist want everything gnat's ass...this may be more plumb bob and woodscrew, but fun

Saw MrPump's HTM here on Skaha Lake a while ago when local guy had it, It seemed rock solid running full bore, if that's what you asking
Back in the late 70's I seen many 16' Glastrons with 200HP clamp ons, no way I would of ride in them though as a passenger.

It's a Nitro, 65-68 is doing good in a Nitro. Next time maybe he will step up to an Allison, Stroker, or Bullet.

He needs the passenger to balance the boat so he can get every last mph out of it. Bass boats are designed to go fast but some are designed better than others. He needs an upgrade on the hull and a new pair of shorts.

Yeah he needs a better Bass boat and nows his time to get it after throwing that one away.

I wonder which way he mounted his trim tabs.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

Looks more like 100kph... Or 100 looks slower in a glitter boat.

 

[HST4ME]

This is how you bass boat.

 

[Icky]

That was the nicest 100mph crash I've ever seen

that's what i was thinking seemed soft no worse than getting tossed of a tube boat is done they got lucky

As usual, the first post based on sound facts instead of conjunctured opinion is way down on post 27.

Are these a straight vee or Delta pad bottom?

They seemed awfully calm after that.

On another board it was pointed out that the Mega Bass Veloster is a Bullet copy made in Brazil ----

Ah.. I looked at the wrong model on the website, the "Grand Bass". Looks like they have splashed several popular boats down there. Welp he sux at set up as a friend has a bullet dc 21 with a x motor and is well into the teens easily. Those watermelon sized sporties are tough to get to work in single engine applications.
Those two should book a plane to Tennesee and see how it is done.

 

[dave29]

I kept waiting for him to run out of gas. Longest 100mph plus run in history.

 

[checkrd past]

What's blowout?

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

Pretty amazing how well they did in a 100 mph wreck. I’ve wrecked a bunch of boats at speeds much less than that and it hurt like hell, knocked the wind out of me, cracked ribs, bruised lungs etc.

I'd like to know how they felt the next day!

 

[HST4ME]

They skidded around a few seconds before it hooked and they were spit out in their sport vests, but yes. Ive hit the water at an honest 100 twice and now that im old i feel it every morning. That was with a lifeline full impact vest. They were prolly down in the 60 mph range before the boat broke up and hooked but still they were very very lucky, and if that was in Brazil and what lives in those waters very very very lucky.

 

[braindead]

What's blowout?

X2?

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

X2?

The water around the gearcase becomes significantly disturbed enough and the lower unit or prop basically loses grip on the water. That’s not that bad, what happens next is. When the prop blows out the hull speed slows enough for the prop to find clean water again, when they happens the hook up can be violent and the torque of the prop will toss the boat sideways ass first.

Soooo, severe cavitation and then reloading?

 

[Kachina26]

What's blowout?

Too much prop out of the water causing sudden slowdown.

Trying to going fast can sometimes bite you, if it didn't everyone would do it. Chalk it up to a bad outing get back on the horse and ride.
