Unlimited Thunderboat Crash Video

Deserves an award. One of the best ones out there. Thanks, for sharing. "Warm Wishes and Happy Hydroplaning!"

Hydro Plane racing is by far the best Motor sport, as well is air racing which these 2 sports are attached at the hip anyway. HYDRO RACING/RENO AIR RACE for life!

if you pause it at 1:08, the house in the background in the right corner, is the house we go to when we see the races in July!

Tri-Cities is by far the best venue though

A ok thx, is it only the design from F-16 or can i be the glas that are the same? Saw on Discovery about Unlimited and they said some thing about the cockpit and F16 but i maby miss understand what they said was a couple of yers ago :D

I attended a powerboat race in the keys a few years ago, watching it from the water aboard a thirty two foot fishing bout. One of the supercats (high powered catamarans) got out of shape and veered onto a collision course with our boat, sending us diving off the back for safety!!!! Luckily he swerved just in time, coming about five yards off our bow, but damn, THAT would've made the highlight videos!!!!

Sorry for the spelling :)

The hydroplanes have rudders in front of the cockpit, they use them like on a airoplane to lift the boat from the water or to push it down in to the water. The problem is when the driver feel he is taking to much air under the boat he have 1 sec to puch the rodder up to puch the down boat its to late, thats why the are flipping on the straight. The cockpit are from F-16 and the have oxygen masks so they can breath underwater and the engines are helicopter engines and have approx 2.500 HP

thanks!

VERY nice video! Do you have some videos of offshore deep vees boats? It could be very interesting cuz hydroplanes are boring after few laps! lol! what's the title of that song? Ho.. and realy well done vid!
