@@dontait4711 Hey man, I am 26 and in Canada and literally the other night prior to seeing your comment, I found myself thinking about how my Father makes it through with both of his parents gone.. I honest to God could not understand what it is like to go through it, I know it will always happen and hopefully they are in a much much better place then here. Knowing that possibility definitely makes it easy. Unfortunately nothing can take away the pain of the loss of someone so close, only time, and grieving in your own way. Hope you are alright brother, keep on keeping on.. He wouldn't want anything less for you than to make the most out of the time we have! :)

When Cleeter started sawing at the wheel I was like OH SHIT!! NO!!! I thought he was gonna flip the thing and I think so did Finnegan. I was amazed how calmly Finnegan handled it. He obviously has tons of money and years of sweat in that boat. Most dudes would never let someone else (with no boating experience) drive a boat like this! This just shows what cool guy Finnegan is! Great collaboration!

Yawing isn't necessarily the issue, it's the direction of movement vs the yaw angle, and the speed of the yaw. Fish tailing in the water at speed isn't good, and drifting/donuts in the water at speed is a recipe for rapid occupant ejection and potential watercraft deconstruction.

When I was about 5 my Uncle was a drag boat racer. My Dad,him and myself went out on San Pablo Bay. It must of been in the very early 60s. He would jump on it and it was the greatest thing in the world to me. Reminds me of back then. Now it’s 60 years ago.

Hell yeah brother! If you like fast boats check out next time you're in Australia the Southern 80 next year it's February 12th to 14th (Friday to sunday) the skiers on the back ski on 2 or 300 ft ropes at 135mph! It's insane man you should definitely check it out it's our water sports version of summernats which is in January so gives you an excuse to extend your trip! I remember the last southern 80 I was at it got to 42 degrees celcius man just sat in the water with our eskys full of Bundy rum blasting tunes and watching the boats fly by at over 200kmh while a chopper flies behind them it's insane.

[@lukeslayer]

@@nitrokiller9959 hahaha basically we sat in the water with our coolers full of ice and Bundaberg Rum and coke cans and watched the skiers and helicopter fly by, it's on the Victoria and New South Wales border in towns called Echuca (VIC) and Moama (NSW) best thing to do is fly to Melbourne Victoria and get a bus or ride to Echuca which is a 2 hour drive, 3 on a bus and either find a close by caravan park (holiday park) to stay at or a motel or if you have the set up the best thing to do is hire a car and go out and camp alongside the river for the weekend, try and organise it with people already going there because they'll have the necessary set ups for camping like gas, generators, cookers, swags (little single person tent sleepers) etc. You can Google southern 80 Australia for more info it's pretty sweet or if cars are more your thing then summnats is the go but both are amazing and about a month apart in our summer so it's a good excuse to have decent trip here you can spend January in Melbourne Victoria and then February in Sydney and then Canberra for summernats
