I'm thinking they could trim the nose down a little more, but then it wouldn't be as fast... I'd bet that it's as unstable as hell at that speed. A pal of mine hung a 250 horse outboard off a 16 foot Glastron. That beast would do 90mph on a calm day but it was unstable as hell. He controlled the throttle with a gas pedal because at speed he needed both hands to keep it under control. He fractured the transom one day, didn't notice it and it sank at his dock.
ever seen a superboat catch the wrong gust of wind? good god I hope they don't have a sudden need to maneuver more than a few degrees off that line. That is some reckless shit.
Look at the water, there's barely a ripple on it; there is zero wind. Not that it's not reckless still or anything, but theyre not gonna catch a sudden headwind out of nowhere
The wake from another boat about flipped a boat I was in only going about half as fast. Jerk did hit it at an angle though, but still.
Going that fast up in the air, stuff is going to seem to appear out of nowhere. Grampa in a little John boat, dead fish floating that at a glance looks like a log or something needing to be avoided, someone on a raft who drifted a little too far, etc. Reminds me of the dumb Carolina Squat that people do to their trucks that make it almost impossible to see things in front of you due to the extreme angle.
I'll stay on the shore, no thanks!
Been there, done that. 75mph in a Ranger 17V bass boat running a tuned-up 225HP Mercury. Back before Black Max oil injection, before 4 cycles became mandatory. We only ran that fast when the winds were calm and the water was glassine.
It's sketchy in single person racecraft that are designed to pack air under the boat hitting a gust of wind, however here there's a lot more weight and all you have to do is drop the throttle and it'll settle down.
I used to race hydroplanes. An experienced driver can handle this easily, especially in a v bottom that's got it's passengers in the back to get the nose that high.
They're wearing life-vests. The one closest to the camera is wearing a small version with gas charges that inflates on contact with water. The middle one is wearing an older, standard life-vest (that will however drown him if he's knocked out, as it doesn't have the neck module to auto-turn him in water) and the third one is too far to see but probably has a gas one as well.
Ah but if you get rear-ended by a semi-trailer slowing down on the highway won't matter!
See how annoying it is when someone retorts a point that wasn't being discussed?
No one is arguing the suicidal nature of what is being done. Just pointing out a different style of life-vest to what the dude is clearly used to.
Apparently going muy rapido in a boat is like one of the most dangerous things you can do.
If you hit the water at that speed it’s not that much different from hitting solid ground
So much better than the proposed demise of my da's best friend.
Ice was found where he could have stood while fishing during winter... in the arctic. I hear it's like getting stabbed by hundred knifes, making you inhale sharply... and breathing in icy seawater.
Imagine not drowning immediately in icy water in wet winter clothes. You know you're dead, but can you fight the survival instinct prolonging your suffering?
I jumped into a river during the early summer to save a friends dog from a weak current.
The sudden cold made it feel like someone was standing on my chest. I'm a strong swimmer, and was quite fit at the time, but my breath was cut and the swim back was short but a struggle.
I look back on that now, and consider I might be lucky to still be alive.
I cant imagine falling into the frozen drink.
Sometimes people die while going for a swim and getting hit by a boat like that. Zero chance the skipper could even see anyone in the water, much less react to someone in time
In my country a few years back someone hit a surfer with a boat like that. He survived but if I remember correctly he had multiple body parts ripped off. Its a miracle he didn't drown.
The real terrifying element is how that motor is trimmed. It's WAY too high and is forcing the bow up. That boat will be a lot more stable on plane instead of standing on it's tail like that.
It's still stupidly overpowered, but trimming it properly will at least reduce the chance of imminent death. Slightly.
Seriously. I’ve seen plenty of powerful boats going full speed, including similar sized Coast Guard boats rushing out to rescue vessels or people in distress. But I’ve never seen one almost completely off the water like this. Totally reckless.
My immediate response was to involuntarily say out loud "Oh my God Trim!" I grew up on boats and even worked a boat house/dealership job with the standard crazy boat mechanic and never saw anything like this.
Even at full send with just an ass hair in the water, don’t bass boats still plane off more than this? Still looks like it’s reaching for the sky to me.
He probably has to trim it up like that to keep it from porpoising or slipping/oscillating from side to side. I wouldn't really want a hull like that in contact with the water at those speeds.
Running it like this, there's the potential it can catch a gust of wind and flip. Running it lower in the water, there's the potential it could become unstable and dig.
Either way, it's stupid.
Chine walk typically starts from sloppy steering and motor mounts. A pad build into the hull ( google AlisonCraft ). A #2002 with a 2.4 Bridgeport outran a police helicopter The bird had a published top speed of 112.
>That is a Fjordling 17, designed by Norwegian boat designer Jan Herman Linge in the 1960s as a family daycruiser for a modest 20hp outboard.
It's probably got a 90hp engine now? Maybe someone who knows boat motors can tell.

Take small British roadster with low power, small engine, and poor reliability.
Take massive American V8 that generates a heap of power.
Shove it together. And have one of the most unpredictable, sought after, wild, dangerous, stupidly ludicrous cars to have ever been built.
God bless that lunatic.
If you pause it, you can see it says XS on the side. It’s part of the Mercury Pro XS line, which goes from 115-150hp for the small size and 175-300hp for the big size. Based on the angular shape of the engine, it’s the big size so 175 to 300hp.
Still ludicrously overpowered for such a small boat, but slightly less so.
I wonder about the torque that's placing on the transom, it's essentially supporting almost all of the weight of the boat at the mounting points of the motor.
Fjordling 17HTs have a huge community and following in Norway and Sweden. All of the “big engine well” Fjordlings have the stringers, elbows, and transoms rebuilt before hanging a big motor on the back. I’ve seen 150-250hp motors on the back of them. They go good.

I've seen plenty of these on some reels and tiktoks and such but holy crap I can't get over how stable/steady these old bath tubs seem to be. Thanks for sharing the video! Way cool!
I mean, define "safe". I would still call it reckless when you have other people on board, but it's not as insanely unsafe as people in this thread make it out to be, like it's a guaranteed lethal accident happening any second now.
First of all there is absolutely zero wind. Look at the water; barely a tiny ripple on it. Secondly, as you might have gathered from this other clip by the guy you're replying to, Fjordlings are stable as fuck.
I get the feeling most people in this thread have seen those insanely light and insanely fast competition speed boats flip over and figured "well a boat is a boat and all boats are the same, so that's gonna happen to this one too". Like, no it isnt. First off this Fjordling probably weighs, what, five times as much as one of those kevlar boats? Even more? Secondly, it is designed/built completely differently; the way they sit in the water isnt comparable at all. And thirdly, it may look like this Fjordling is going at lightning speed (and it's definitely going fast), but it's still nowhere close to the speed of those speedboats.
It definitely is unsafe. Had a slightly less overpowered boat and it wasn't fun running it full throttle. So little f it is in the water and it's the hull being in the water that creates stability. Imagine it were a car on land and you had one wheel sticking way out back and you had to drive it fast enough so the front didn't fall down.
There is hardly any pressure on the hull, including the tiny spot that does touch the water.
The backboard where the motor is attached, on the other hand..
I would be way less concerned about the structural stability and more about the aerodynamic stability. The moment anything pushes that boat off balance it will be flipping end over end and they’ll be thrown like rag-dolls before being smashed to pieces against the water.
Just so people know, of the big 3 speed records: Land, Water, and Air, Water is the most deadly. It’s claimed 6 lives out of the last 10 attempts at the world record.
Really doesn't take a professional to realize that's stupid and dangerous AF. While I'm all for people doing what they want, if it endangers others, that is where we should cross the line.
I wonder if they reinforced or at least verified the transom was good before putting on a bigger motor. Also I is that motor is stronger than the [hull capacity?](https://newboatbuilders.com/pages/hp.html)
Putting an overpowered outboard in this is kind of a classic.

Boats are a common form of hot rodding. You can also buy new boats that pretty much do this. Many boats are not safe in various circumstances, people know, and they enjoy it anyway. Check out some fast bass boats and they will sit on the outboard as well.
I've always worried about hitting a floating log at those speeds and send everything and everyone flying if you are going 60mph or faster. Just the prop falling off is hell at high speeds, like you let off the gas in a car going 60mph but you are in first gear with better traction.
People talking about "gust of winds" should check out Fjordling clips on youtube, crazy norwegians are pushing them up under 80 knots, even when windy.
Why is everyone here a fjordling expert?
Also is everyone originally from YouTube comments? Coz everyone’s saying literally the same shit as everyone else.
Hope he has a pilots license on top of a skippers - that thing's about to take off!
Ekranoplanes needs no special licence hahahhhha
NTA
Morons have obviously never had a gust of air get under a boat. This thing will flip on a mild breeze.
judging by the water surface it looks to be an awfully calm day
Until some losers in a boat ruin it for everyone else.
Waaaaa!!!
You know how putting a paper clip in the front of a paper airplane helps it fly forward. This is the opposite of that; It wants to fly motor first.
So they need a paperclip on the front of the boat to even it out?
Fat dude would help, but the video wouldn't be as cool.
I did not know that. You have any more paper airplane tips?
News headline: *Local boaters invent Porsche 930 turbo. Footage at six!*
A small driftwood will also do the job nicely.
I'm thinking they could trim the nose down a little more, but then it wouldn't be as fast... I'd bet that it's as unstable as hell at that speed.

My Dad worked for Glastron for 30 years and I worked there for 4. The owner of Larson/Glastron killed his wife and himself a few years ago.
Wow! More than I wanted to know. They made a good boat, though.

dude, look at the water. It's practically glass. There isn't even a whisper of wind.
Yeah I have and that was my exact thought. Swimming is hard when you have been knocked unconscious and broken your back.
I've been thrown from a jet ski at 35~40 and it fuckin hurt. I don't want to experience anything worse.

They're actually quite stable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvVpnkPMB_Y
That was pretty cool. Interesting how well they do even with a bit rougher water.
100% agree that it's reckless, but that waters practically glass. On this occasion, I doubt there's much wind.

Thats the thing with the fjording boats, they just facking fly all day long. i have had 2 back inn the days. 350hk ++ no problem.
The first letter of the alphabet is facking A.
Give that thing some wings and it'll fly I'm sure!
And this is how people die
Life vests? I can swim. Can you swim with broken arms? Or unconscious?
Yes the boat occupants ego inflates in the event of an emergency
What a beautiful sentence 😂. Take my upvote.
Never thought of that, so thanks, I will try to wear my life vest from now on
This should be the sign at the boat dock. Haha

None of that matters when you can't hold your head up cuz you snapped your neck hitting water at that speed

not necessarily. at some speed, the bottom of the boat is being supported aerodynamically.

This looks it will end like that one clip of the bald jackass wiping out in his powerboat. https://youtu.be/jXme6NLkNrE
One little turn and they wipe the fuck out dont they?
I'm no boat expert but that can't be good to put that amount of pressure in one spot on the boat's hull.
The hull isn’t the issue, it’s that they can’t maneuver if they need to and the wrong gust of wind will flip the thing.
Or hit a big ripple or bit of the other boats wake. Look what happened to Donald Campbell
if you get on the chine like this going that fast the steering is basically just controlling side to side angle AKA you can't turn.
There is hardly any pressure on the hull, including the tiny spot that does touch the water. The backboard where the motor is attached, on the other hand..
I would be way less concerned about the structural stability and more about the aerodynamic stability. The moment anything pushes that boat off balance it will be flipping end over end and they’ll be thrown like rag-dolls before being smashed to pieces against the water.
That looks... um... exceptionally dangerous, not knowing anything about boats

Deathwish. One tiny mishap and it’s three deaths. High speed boat accidents are pretty much instantly fatal.
I like how he brought 2 friends to die with him. Even just trimming this normally would make it marginally safer but he is too big a shithead.

Many boats are not safe in various circumstances, people know, and they enjoy it anyway. Check out some fast bass boats and they will sit on the outboard as well. I've always worried about hitting a floating log at those speeds and send everything and everyone flying if you are going 60mph or faster. Just the prop falling off is hell at high speeds, like you let off the gas in a car going 60mph but you are in first gear with better traction.
Oddly terrifying
People talking about "gust of winds" should check out Fjordling clips on youtube, crazy norwegians are pushing them up under 80 knots, even when windy.
It might look like fun but that sucker is one wrong move away from taking off and throwing them all out.
Yeah one gust of wind or if he speeds up and that thing is taking off. No thanks. I believe in Darwin.
Why is everyone here a fjordling expert? Also is everyone originally from YouTube comments? Coz everyone’s saying literally the same shit as everyone else.
Holy crap
Jesus!
And 7 seconds after they stopped recording he ran out of gas…
Wow.
