    Why tunnel vision and not checking down range is bad



    Got to hand it to the CF tho boy, not a scratch on the boat......... Now the buoy didn't fair so well. Let me tell you, that was one tricky recovery being that the sponson was impaled in the buoy....

    Duude, put a hole in that bitch
    That comment was seriously funny, almost made me literally ROFL.

    But good luck, that you had not a scratch in the boat, could have been way worse.

    regards,
    Manuel

      Ya Manny, was pretty funny AFTER I saw that I hadn't damaged the thing..........lol You know what was worse, that sound it made when it smacked that buoy. You can't tell from the video, but it was LOUD!!!!

        I too laughed pretty hard at that one.
        Here's a run I did where I felt the same thing occurring and caught it in time.

        After a while (or one accident like the one you just had) you will naturally look at your boat before you take off, look where you're going, then have a good idea of any preset danger while running, given that you've already assessed the area. The higher speeds you run, the more important this will become. For me, I did the same type of high speed runs with cars for a while too, so my lesson (almost identical to yours) was learned in a parking lot where I hit a handicap parking sign at high speed. Unfortunately for me "not a scratch" was not the case with my car...
