Re: Boat Crash Caught on Tape
I have never understood this sport. 220+ mph in a 1500lb boat. WTF do you think is gonna happen?

Pre2012-Conley Bottom Mostly, Waitsboro, Alligator I&II ramps, Leesford, Pulaski County Park (when it has water), Grider, State Dock (via boat), and Jamestown are a few places you might find me. - Location: Kentucky (Lake Cumberland)

They need better cockpits for sure.
Buy American, the job you save just might be your own.
Re: Boat Crash Caught on Tape
Last I heard, the cockpits were right out of F-14 fighter jets, and they seperate from the boat upon impact. Don't think you can get much better than that and still be under the weight you need to be to go that speed.E_HILLMAN wrote:They need better cockpits for sure.
Again, if you are going that fast and come to an abrupt stop, I don't care what kind of cockpit you are in. You ain't makin' it.
