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.

Awesome! Eric Johnson music and Champion boats, don't get no better than that. Love my 95 202, bought it new from Plano Marine. Did one of those hard 180s to the left once, bit so hard it threw my partners son in my lap! LOL! Many good times in it & many yet to come, Good Lord Willin'.

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.
