going into a turn a little too hot with a ventilated hull (stepped) and trimmed improperly can cause the hull to slide out in the turn then regain traction, not sure if this was the cause.
Good thing the unmanned boat did not hurt anyone, Hopefully the occupants were not hurt.

That's just crazy! Nice how no one seemed to worried, and the guy holding the camera is just chilling like nothing happened. Did you see how long it took for people to begin to make their way to the boat!?! I wonder if they thought it was all part of the guy showing off.

At first I would say: How do you flip a boat to starboard when turning to port, even at speed? But Gociggie seems to have it right. A stepped boat is very different to drive. In the first video he always had the boat trimmed improperly. It seems to me that he probably had his port trim tab down and the other neutral when he entered the port turn.

People should take classes before getting behind the wheel of such high performance machines. You can't just take an Enzo out on a track because you can afford one, and you can't just take out a Speed Boat because you can afford it. There is a lot to know and consider. This guy just didn't have the know how and experience.

And that's why you ALWAYS wear your kill switch lanyard. Poor boat.

Agreed! No sense in not wearing it.

With a stepped hull, it doesn't even have to be tabs, it looked to me like drive trim....... Hard turns with the drives really tucked under or hung out can result in this.
