Im surprised the boat didnt sink?
must have something in place to prevent that ,I saw some of those boats at the ICAST convention serious hp and speed.

That is a great photo, love the look of those Speedmaster type of drives.

Similar to unlimited hydroplanes, once they lose the propeller shaft or thrust, the boat either flies in the air or corkscrews to one side quickly.

Here is a closer video clip of the incident from Facebook.
