    Trim angle is everything.
    Watch the video carefully. Doing the slow and midrange tight turns you are trimmed down to use the length of the hull like a rudder. The faster you go the higher you trim

    only good way to learn something you don't know is to ask someone who does.
    im no rookie behind the wheel but no pro by any means and after a ride with someone not too long ago an I realized that I do not drive my rig to even its closest potential.

    Nobody has told him to hold on when doing a breach turn and if he has a passenger make sure they are holding on also. Lots of GGGGGGGGGGG'ssssssss
    I use to do them for folks n demo rides in Skeeters and then most know what happen a person was thrown-out not by me but by a pro. We we ordered to not do them any longer.

    Just saying he should have some seat time in and someone else show him

    Pat Goff, an expert Champion driver, had a guy actually jump out of the boat during that demo. His intent was to sue. I forget whether or not he got any money, but the breech turn demo was discontinued at that point.

    That was the day the music died.
    Yeah that knucklehead said I slung him out of the boat doing a left turn. I’m no math genius but the possibility of that happening is somewhere around zero.
    He sued champ mercury fun n sun the marina and me.
    He’d been in six law suits in five years and did two stints in jail for hot checks.
    It never went to court. After depositions it was obvious the guy was full of poo. It was dropped but Porthouse laid down the law so no more breach stops.

    Have done this in my Cobra 201, I turn the wheel with it trimmed down and gas it. Boat turns like it is on rails. I don’t do it anymore, figured it was hard on the transom and hull. Is pretty amazing how fast it comes around.
