He's trying to show off for the chopper. It is very hard to get the bow on that boat that high in such a small sea! Look at the motors how far out they are. It sure is fun though walkin' 'em like that!
Actually, those being Mercury Outboards, he just punched it and that is what happens coming out of the hole - Lots of power!

my bet is a Yellowfin with triple verados will catch him
I will take that bet any day of the week since the boat I was on passed all of the yellowfins at the SKA National Championship last year....btw - the 250XS engines are faster than the Verados 275 (same horsepower but less weight).
I ask only because I refuse to take much stock in this constant war between the builders and fisherman of who they passed and where in what tournament. Because somehow in the National Championship two Contender 23's, one of which had the biggest fish of the tourny, and a Pro Sport 22 beat out all of the Open Class boats in total weight? They weren't blowing by anyone, esspecially the Pro Sport which was single. I'll just settle for my brain over 3 or 4 Optimax XYZ's and see where it takes me.
