Default Unlikely flip

Caught this on video yesterday. I flipped a boat that I rarely flip twice in the same day, both were backflips AFTERIlifted on the throttle...weird....I dont think Icould do this again if Itried 100 times.

So how do you like the handling, cornering of the Genesis Cat?

It's not a genesis, its a PIP Bittburger. As far as the handling goes, it hops alot when cornering, but the straight line handling is pretty sweet. Its a very narrow cat but it likes speed and I think I'll have no problem getting past the 70mph mark with her. It wont be winning any oval races, however.

Here's a vid (and a still pic of what it looks like)where you can see how she runs a little better:

Looks like somebody needs a bigger waterhole.

For sure. Ihave ran very fast boats there before, but they could also turn at full speed or near full speed. This one doesnt turn quite as well, and as you can see Iend up off of the throttle before Ieven get to the camera. I've been over 70 on that water though...makes for white knuckles!
