‘The Legend’ that is Jon Mendez 👌

Very informative for both new and experienced boaters alike. Well done 🤠

Memories!! A small pointy deep v power boat running downwind and accelerating as we climbed the back of the waves, leaping onto the next wave ahead. Until he left the acceleration too late and the boat turned into a submarine! Happy days.

You didn’t stint on the kit with this RIB. What a stunner - you just need a 20° temperature increase 👍🏻👍🏻 And at 04:50 a last glimpse of Fawley Tower. Farewell to the Solent Guardian 31st October 2021

Check drain plug, Check fuel, secure lockers and hatches, start engine, get it to temperature and put the hammer down.

depending on your hull/ boat design, sometimes crossing at 45 degrees to the swell works better than charging dead ahead

[@DrCrabfingers]

Wow....these videos are amazing....very educational.

[@IbrahimHyderiGoth]

nice boat

[@SoundzAlive1]

Not the ideal conditions for WOT but that would have been nice around 40Knots. Great refresher for us all as we can get complacent and forget the extra kill switch. André

[@CustomYachtShirts]

Great Video, very informative.

[@ironichumorist]

well done

[@marcarriaga3201]

I never bean on a Moyer bout but can you even move the bait just by slipping on the throttle like id assume you would have a constant forward force on it to get the bout moving

[@djmini2numpty141]

hi John, coulld you provide some links to the items on your batman belt, ie, life jacket and accessories . that would be great, have asked previously

[@hakanilkkutlu8839]

Regarding trim up or down, you tell vice a versa at conclusion Which one is right?

[@philipderek3961]

Too many adverts so I abandoned this good video after 7 minutes

[@gaycha6589]

….he should at least have given it full beans. You dont need twin 300s to push that at boat @20kts

[@napalmhotdog4365]
