@ChiefCabioch ya it is

[deltajegga]

when the boat got to the end of the track it started to prop walk and when he pulled the parachutes it whipped the boat back around

[scionxb232]

that was a crazy crash im glad he is ok...

[ChiefCabioch]

the rudder is still attached the the Transome, it looked to me like the driver may have put rudder in it to correct the tracking, and that's a NO, NO once you hit the Gas, steering is NO longer an Option...PERIOD.

That kinda looked like "driver error" to me.

Just from looks, either the prop, shaft, or rudder broke, but I cant quite tell.

What caused the crash? Something causes it to pitch to the right, and then it's all over.

The engine turns into one of those bouncing bombs like we saw in WWII.

I'm glad that the driver was okay.
