Steering must have broke. ??? Care to elaborate on this thought? Cause I see no sign of any mechanical failure Trimmed too high for the turn or caught just enough wave to give sone lift and then Hull caught further into the turn

Looks like the motor trimmed down at the 2:12 mark right before it began to pick up speed.?
Good Fishing.

C'mon think that last statement has nothing to do with your original comment.
"In the video above, maybe Dad should have been driving since he's giving his son hand signals on where to go"
Almost every boat I have been in and co angler has pointed to the buoy's. It helps on that lake as I'm sure you know.
Kill switch issue I understand. Go back and watch the early part of the video. Is that a co angler pointing out obstacles? Or a Dad attempting to show his son, who is obviously seeking feedback, how to run that section of TB? If those guys were in a decent sized tournament, they were DQ'd long before the video.

Fouz, think your right about passenger input being a big part of it. Looks like bow hook was a combination of driver distraction and driver error. It appears he was going to go on right side of marker and got motioned to go to the left and stuck the nose. Bottom line is should of had kill switch connected. I won't even comment on jumping back into boat, that's a whole new level of stupid.

I was thinking of trading my center console for a bass boat. With a new grandson, maybe I should just keep the CC. Only goes 50, and not much chance of getting completely thrown out. but I suppose it's possible. Turns like a battleship so not going to change directions like that.

Little kids are much safer in a CC, keep it. You can catch the same fish in a CC as you can in a bass boat. Keep it.

Smart thing for those two guys is sell the boat and all their tackle and take up golf or bowling. They're a danger to themselves and others operating a boat. Can you imagine them in a tournament where they take off by numbers and they're number 100. The possibilities are limitless even with a kill switch.

I agree, not very smart to at LEAST have the kill switch attached. Life jacket should be a mental habit of donning it while you are up on plane. Thank goodness he wasn't drunk and running over those buoys and ripping up his lower unit

its just as disturbing that a driver is running near to WOT down a lane with no clue as to where he's going ...common sense in so many ways has been unaccounted for here!

Million dollar idea generator there. Remote/auto activated kill switch. A smart device to trip the kill switch with an app to connect to it. It could sense the distance to your phone or an optional wearable hardware remote that you wear. Lots of ways to implement something like that.
