That is why there is a driver and a throttleman in each boat. Of course back in the day also a navigator.

Hello everyone, new to the forum. Introduction, I am a guy who likes fast cars, boats and girls.... aint that suprising!
Anyways, taking huge leaps/jumps with boats is one of my favourite things to do, you know the feeling, when you have made your decision, after a wave flying high, throttled down, and you know that there isn't anything, anything you can do anymore to get a good landing except trust in yourself that you made the best decision before launching up in air. And then the funny thing, it allways seem like the world is standing still, time is moving slowly and everything is silent. LOVE IT! And then comes the adrenaline!
Anyone else love to jump with boats? The winter is settling down here in scandinavia and I am allready having withdrawls....
So anyone got nice pics or vids of jumping boats?
Here is one pic of me skippering a highflying boat and a vid I found on youtube

Here's the all time classic-
Ben Kramer and Bobby Saccenti in the most famous Apache of them all - Warpath.

This one really captures the feeling of offshore racing- after that classic Apache run it's my favorite. It was shot from a plane, so he had no trub keeping up with the boats on the straights, where those big cats hit 180-190 mph.

Here's a good one of Vinny in his 42' Skater, Maxxed Out.
With twin 1400's, this boat is capable of 190+.

Thanks Jayboat! That Apache Warpath video is a classics! And the "offshore powerboat racing" was really nice also. I just can't comprehend speeds of 190mph+ on water... crazy!
And thanks for clearing out what SCOPE stands for, I have seen "scope" in many vids, and many of them are really nice.
Here's another "jump" video.
