I would guess that "Pretty Down" is an understatement. A lot of people on that other board commended him for wearing a lifejacket. As far as I view it... it's not an option. A head first fall into the water at 40 mph is enough to knock anyone out. Add on top of that a 7000 lbs. 30 foot long missle skipping across the water with 1200 hp on a surface slightly larger than a notebook... come on people, this is common sense were talking about.
On a lighter note, I have been able to hit 89.6 mph on the GPS with 4 adults and 2/3 a tank of gas spinning the props out. I'm a little hesitant to spin the props in at the moments, but I'd really like to run the boat on a cool day without any passengers and less than an eighth tank of gas on a cool day. I should hit 90 by then. The boat is "pretty" stable at high 80's. If both drives aren't trimmed out to the exact same amount, or one tab is a little lower than the other, it will start walking around at the mid 70's enough to back out of her. It's taken some time to figure this ride out, but that's one thing I've got plenty of...
