That thing either has some "extreme" horsepower to get out of the hole or is sinking.

My old I/O felt like that if I didn't adjust the trim but I'm sure it never looked as bad as that Rolling Eyes

he just has his trim all the way up. Ive done it once before. Picked up a friend off the dock, had to raise the trim up on the outdrive to avoid the ground, forgot to lower it again after we pulled away, push the throttle down, and all I saw was sky. It was funny. I didnt go but about two seconds then I put it down.

those boats are hilarious, they are priced like a competition boat, like a ski supreme, and are still a runabout, with the leg out the back, the only thing half good about it, it has a barefoot boom, built into the boat, that can easily pull out.

That is the same company that had some boats in the waterski mag buyers guide a couple years back. They have high horsepower engines and a bunch of crappy gadgets in them. One of the boats they offer has a power winch in it that you can automatically adjust the line length with so that you can ski or even parasail behind it. They are pretty stupid.

We have one of these at our lake and use it in our ski show. I has enough HP that we use it to pull a wakeboarder in reverse. HONESTLY!

You see a lot of pictures like that in Hot Boat magazine. It's not a ballast or weight problem, some boats just do that when they accelerate really hard. It looks scary, but I guess it just happens when you have a rear engine boat that takes off like a bullet. Don't think it has anything to do with trim because I'm pretty sure I've seen pitures of V-drive boats doing it too.

Looks like the boat is landing after jumping a wake at a high speed, and some boats if you turn real hard at a slower speed will look like this.

Looks like what happens to those small bass boats with the 200-250hp engines. They go almost straight up with that when they accelerate from idle. Pretty funny.
