The buddy Mick had his boat serviced. Sure you'd have to take it for a test run after....

Re: Wildcat 40 in Cork Harbour - Saturday!
Just watched it, holy crap what a maniac, some bit of boating!
Tell me, she seems to sit very low in the water, is that normal enough?

Re: Wildcat 40 in Cork Harbour - Saturday!
Yes John bet that was a brown trousers moment.
It seemed as if he slowed boat right down at wrong time and never really got into the wave but I'm no expert.
Think I'd prefer to be on the high stool looking out at him.

I'd say he could have been changing underpants after 0:25 so they slowed down for 0:42
The builder was onboard on the day. If he wasn't crying for mammy then I would reckon the buddy was grand too!
It is always great to get a feel what your boat is capable of. I remember taking a spin with Paul from Warrior Boats in Southampton. I nearly needed a change of smalls myself He was throwing the boat around like I wouldn't dream of doing. It was great to see the capabilities of the boat though, gives you a sense of security when things get snotty.
