Looks like a blast, but I had to turn off the sound:D It just aint right, to run a two-stroke in a jet boat:)

Get onshore with a bucket and get him to do that run when the smelt run.

I lived on Little Bay De Noc (Lake Michigan). It was right out my back doorstep. If he'd of done that across our lot, he'd have hit one of two big ass'd boulders and we'd be picking up pieces of fiberglass.

Haha yea I was going to say no fibreglass to pick up there but you'd prolly have wanted to have your camera ready to catch the airtime haha

**Note the video ends when Mark cut too close to shore and the rock strikes were hard enough to unplug the helmet cam batteries- also note how he ignored the navigator in the process haha ME! We finished the leg however we unknowingly had broken the top off the 2 stroke oil resevoir and missed the next leg finding a replacement- anyone whos getting into racing ALWAYS open your engine compartment hatch imediatly after each run, we didn't and didn't discover the problem fast enough to get into the next leg, dumb dumb dumb**
Cheers

I was dying last summer. Went to Upper Michigan and stayed at my sister's place with frontage on the Escanaba River. Average depth was 1' - 3' (in July) with a solid rock (limestone I think) bottom. All I kept thinking was I wish I had a beer can boat.
