    Any Boat Pilots Here?

    This goes a little slow until the flag drops at about 45 seconds in. Then you will feel your gluteus muscles trying to hold on to your seat.

    I'm not a boat guy, but those have to be some incredible G-forces.

    They build them and race them locally.

    They look like they have a jet outboard drive. In a past life I had re-machined hundreds of them for racing. What makes them turn so well is a small fin in the center of the boat about right under the engine. My old (1965) Correct Craft ski boat can turn like that but has a prop drive.

    You'd really need to be on your game to stay healthy.
