Nice run! 🔥🤘 I have a question re the 2 little winglets at the bow of boat. Are they fixed? or can you control the angle of attack while driving to prevent the boat hull from sailing at high speed? TIA
@@Smilecat75 would you happen to know why that concept is only used on these hulls? Although others use trim to alter the attitude it seems this would be helpful
@@kenfung664 I'm not sure why they aren't used in other boat racing sports. Maybe because these are used in rivers with white water and swells. I'll have to ask some of the guys why they think they aren't used in other boat racing sports. This weekend the Top Gun boat Capt. said when he lost his during a race he went from running around 105 mph to around 80 mph with out them
Why no other boats use them is because there are NO other boats riding on just the intake of the pump and therefore do not need them. World Jet Boats are more than special, they are the only ones that do what they do.
Good name for the boat! Love the song of the powerplant! My kinda music! You have some of the best boat racing videos! Bar None ! Thanks Cat !
It sounds you have a nice soft start on the turbine engine starter motor on engine start.
Flying on the edge!
so hydro-thunder is a real thing, i had no idea.
Wow looks like fun, I wonder how the fuel consumption is?
Mark Burrows if you can afford the boat, you do t worry about fuel costs.
@@stevekneebone3802 good point lol
Woohoo 🎉

Yes the wings can be moved up to lift the hull out of the water and down in rougher water or cornering to help keep the hull in the water.

I will say most if not all of the hulls and the winglets are made by the owner of this boat. I used to work for him a couple years.

Nice!!!
What type of speed are you getting? This is great. Love to come to watch it some year!
It may of gotten into the 150 mphs in the upper flat portion of the river.
Easily 140mph
@@Smilecat75 that’s crazy
@@CombatJJ Thanks for watching
