Whoever is driving that boat at 3:41 knew how to keep it up on pad, that took some skill. That boat was dialed in!

Cool video for sure. I believe that was Don Hancock driving the boat. He was their factory rep back in the mid to late 80's. Great guy. The shot of the boat running close to the bluffs was way cool!

Thats the video that Pat Goff had helped out with. Its Pat Goff doing the breach turn. " David Bradford did most of the driving on that video. Don Hancock and Bill Pace were also driving a lot in it." The thread.

Don had a 20 footer he was showing off that had a V8 JohnRude on back!

They used to give demo's of their boats, would take you out in them and do the ski turn as I remember them calling it.
