Don\'t try this at home - Marine Jackass!

Check this out.

Earlier this year I acquired a two seat ski bob to entertain peeps out on our boat that can't water ski.

On this occasion a day out with the lads turned to the theoretical questions of how fast could one of us hang on the back of the ski bob. This was largely beer induced sort of BS that blokes talk about when the girls leave them to their own devices.

One of the blokes in the group is an experienced motor cyclist belived he could go all the way to WOT. I pointed out that the Ski Bob was only rate to 20 kilometres an hour so would be only good up to 15 knotsish.

Anyway, its not 'big' nor 'clever' but here is a photo of my mate doing 40knots (GPS reading) on the ski bob and he was indicating he wanted to go faster!! Notice the goggles!!

I think Kim should set up a Jack Ass area for stuff like this!!

Yes, this chap came off at 40 knots and must have bounced 5 times before he broke the surface, lots of bruises and macho qudos after tho.

As I said, not big nor clever but my sides were hurting afterwards from the laughter..

That nowt. I once towed some one on a donut at forty odd knots. He fell out and broke his ribs.

Thats it.

Your boat does look a bit lonely down there all on it own.
