Yeah, I agree. The hydraulic steering seems dangerously spongy. Give me a dual cable setup anyday, feeling the torque helps one to understand and control the boat. Also, hydraulic steering never centers itself, which can be distracting. VERY NICE OUTBOARD RAID VIDEO!!
The play is not in the wheel as it looks. I have a mirage jaguar ski racer and when these boats are at 100+ you only have the tail in the water. The boats at that speed do a speed slide and you have to turn the wheel way before the turn to allow for the slide, The wheel has to be turned right and left to fine adjust the travel.
love the video and the boat, a bit reckless but a lot of fun looking i admit. but i gotta say i agree whats with all the play in the steering? my god if you had to do a fast turn youd have to crank the wheel like 20 times in blink of an eye just to get it to respond fast enough
Where do you run these boats in Southeast Fl. I have a Hydrostream Valero and I am moving to the area (Pompano) would love some input before I get down (March 28, 2016) Thank You
Cool video and bad ass little boat. What kind of speed does it run? Also was curious why you turn the wheel alot and boat does not seem to turn very much? Is that because its trimed up so much?
Nothing wrong with his boat. It is flying on the rear pad. Likely nothing in the water except the prop....hopefully most of it. He is also able to do the things he's doing because he knows how to drive a tunnel...nuf said. As far as the vest goes kinda hard to argue with that one.
i guess people don't understand thats how a high performance outboard drives! It's not a jet ski you idiots! high performance tunnel hulls drive just like Chris' boat. Excellent job Chris I like the other vids especially the Swannee.
bro. i was like i hope this isn't some shit video. lol. nice. bad ass. i used to love hitting the bridges and tunnels at high tide. ha. but not at your speed!! wrap your ass in fiberglass. lol. man i must be getting old. be careful. nice run...
Fantastic course to travel through, love those over passes!
Bro you are a true master in that boat❤️💯💪🏼😃. Running it under that bridge like that. Holy shit!!!!!!!!!
That was fun !!
Makes me miss my Pro Comp and Euro.
going under the tunnel was amazing!
There is a lot of steer in that thing, two turns just to get it to shift left or right a little

ya i was wondering the same, how much do you gotta turn the wheel just to make a sharp turn

Thank You
Such a nice pull
Can someone chime in and explain what is going on with the steering in detail. Love these boats but can't figure out why the wheel turns so much

Dude your insane!!!! But sweet ass video man you got balls!!
damn man, my rhib has very acute steering. This just boggles my mind. How the hell do you avoid a deadhead with that kind of wheel response?
Nice Chris!!!!!!!!!!

Nice. Not more to say except,........the need for speed. Wish I could drag mine over to that location to do that run, jealous.
Hey man, how much do you want for it?
Twisted Monkey,,,,,,,I Love it.
Great driving, isn;t that a 25 mph Manatee zone OOOOHHHH ?
You tube hates 960p ..... 720p would be on full screen x)
No way, at speed you have to be Sharp & Quick (On the ball) ! Steering like that you have to start a turn before breakfast.
he needs to bleed the steering thats why it dosent turn when he moves the steering wheel
nobody else buddy! yeah.
I also have my Mirage Jaguar Posted on You Tube. Type in Mirage Jaguar look for the shaved head guy. That's me!!!!! LOL
