I just don't see the point he would go faster by having the motor set up right. But I'm sure none of us have had a stupid idea.:D

Re: Over triming, With to much HP.

i have seen it before, but its always fun to watch.

both of my bass boats are torn apart right now and me and a buddy was kicking around the idea about puttin my 115 on one of my lil 14' aluminum boats ........ it only has like a 4' beam or so

i was thinking if i put the steering wheel literally mounted to the bow and sat as far forward as i could we may be able to make a similar video................. i just havent gotten the cahonies to risk sinking any of my boats........ or worse damaging my 115 :eek:... that would really put my rebuild projects behind lol.

if i ever get the guts to do it i will post the video here lol.

until then i will just enjoy the other crazies antics :D.

p.s. i dont think triming had anything to do with it... thats wind resistance :cool:

Would be funny to see, but I am almost positive that your 115 would actually push the transom under just sitting still, or just rip it off. Most I ever saw on a 14' aluminum was 30 hp.

Well you know he's a moron; he beached his boat and he doesn't even have a keel guard!

Re: Over triming, With to much HP.

I can relate to those guys, check out some of his other videos like the $55 van.;) Oh yeah, I did some stuff that would make great videos long before you tube was around. I remember one time we figured out how to shift into reverse at 60mph and do huge 360s down the road, we laughed so hard we could not see. Of course, don't do that stuff if you don't know what you are doing.

Pretty impressive for 40hp. The point of operating the boat like that is what?
