If You want to Go Boating,......... Back Off it......<br /><br />If you're More Into Repairing,+ Replacing the Driveline,........ Go Ahead,+ Keep'er Hammered..........

I'd back it off. Hitting it hard can sometimes be fun, but biting your tongue off, popping out fillings, or bouncing your rods overboard really take the fun out of it. Trust me!

Re: boating question

hopefully you are not hitting these wakes head on as well, going through them at an agle greatly reduces the hard landing giving you more of a side to side rolling effect, and distributes the force across the whole boat. I used to have a 16' tri-hull and learned to read wake really well, haha. Thankfully now i upgraded and go where i want.
