An "irregular wave set"? Yeah, right. At 70 mph when you are cutting other boats wakes and your transom's been coming up out of the wate every few seconds. Way, way to fast, i would say. You think anybodys gums was-a-bleedin from that slam down? Especially the chick in the back. Brutal.

Never taken a jet drive boat out in the surf have you? You don't so much as sit as squat and pray the OH ***** handle is securely mounted, They are right is is like riding a dirt bike. You need to stand up and take the shocks since boats don't have suspension. But this guy is just another reason Florida needs to have a boater safety course required for anybody who registers or captains a boat on a regular basis. With all these people moving down here from places where since the surface water is a drinking resovoir you can't even drive a boat on it, They come here and drop 75 grand on a boat and think they are captain of the miss budweiser or something. Red right returning MORON!! I hate it when they think they can blast through somewhere just because with their giant binos they don't see the CG or sheriff boat. So they crank it up and the retired guy with his grandkids gets swamped or worse!! You should be required to start on a sail boat, then a pontoon boat, and graduate to a Tri hull with a 75hp and then you can get the go fast I'm a moron boat!! Follow the signs idle speed no wake is different than slow speed!!
