- 99 Psycho Clowns competing in the 2016 Southern 80. Taking off boat #5 in the Superclass division to finish 3rd Outright in a time of 31.30. This video shows the entire race from start to finish, check it out to get an inside to what goes on inside the boat at speeds up to 120mph, and how difficult it becomes for the driver once you catch the boat in front. Our superstar skiers Codie Rigg and Steve Berry did an amazing job in very tough conditions as we just could not make a safe pass. Driver Jessica Pearse and Team owner and observer Daniel McMahon have an incredible bond and are working very well together in the boat.
It's just a complete master class in Observer/Driver communications... awesome job.
Bloody awesome insight mate, skiers, observer and driver all working together, love it!
One of the best videos I have seen at the southern 80
Luv it.
RESPECT! Awesome video from a totally different viewpoint. Theres a lot going on there and thats a long time to hang on for, id be stuffed after the first turn if i even made it that far
One of my fave ski race vids of all time. Everyone does an amazing job, especially the observer. Crazy skiing, crazy driving....crazy stuff!! Pity we won't see many of more from the Unltd 99PC crew as it's up for sale.
What a magic video. Could watch it all day
Thank you awesome video
i was going to come and watch this in 2021 but turns out we couldn't and look how thrilling this is
Good job!!
Dosso the legend ❤️
Amazing
That is so crazy and cool
GR8 view . What a race but tell me what does the tap on the driver leg mean?
Looks like a hold steady speed command. Heavy tapping slow down. Does it mostly in the sharp corners. Once they straighten out he pulls his hand up and motions for more speed.
Snapshot12002. I'd say you are right but they also look like they have headsets in the helmets. Can't understand why they would be using the hand signals
Ian Miller so that all the singles are very clear
@@ianmiller7336 in case they mishear you over the engine noise , it helps to be sure of things when you got your race results depending on you, go to fast and the skiers stack it and that’s a pretty disappointing race and could injure the skiers, you don’t want that
Ok,, a few dumb questions to ask.
I see that the levers on the steering column are for trim controls but does he control engine speed with a gas petal on the floor?
Do the boats have a transmission like a 3 or a 4 speed to get up to the high speeds?
I have to say that is some awesome team work between driver and spotter! And to the skiers at the end of a 200ft rope, you have balls the size of church bells!
Yes throttle is a foot pedal. I am not sure about this particular setup with the Merc racing engine but these big unlimited boats generally run 2 speed transmissions with the low gear to get them out of the hole. You can hear it shift at about 0:31
She's driving. Not a he. And she muscles that beast like a boss!!
And I’d say the other side controls are for ballast
Awesome driver and observer team work. What type of boat is it and what speeds were you going👍
They do 80km in just over half an hour, average speed just under 100mph, top speed would be around the 130mph mark.
Search up force f21 s ski race boats that’s your answer
@@normiewhowoah! 😮
i believe thats a mercury 1750hp with 2 number 6 drives the puffs of black smoke is the rev limiter kicking in
What are those stalks on the steering column for? Congrats to all concerned, those skiers are crazy buggers.

Fucking awesome
At about 20:00 the engine sounds like a miss-fire and can see black puffs of smoke
Throughout the entire video the boat is "puffing smoke" , from my standpoint as a drag car/boat builder, it appears they are running it rich on the big end, to keep temps down. Nothing sounded out of the norm as there is lots of vibration, those motors are no where near the weak point of those boats.
My dad is friends with Dylan Cuff
Those boys only stay up at 160 +
Due to the low centre of gravity
Created by their huge pair of dusters
I love how he touches the knee as a sign
he wants him to pull over for a quicky
You want to see something really exciting watch the longtail drag boats races in Thailand better yet ask around and one of the guys will take you out on the bigger boats with the souped up 500 hp turbo diesel longtail motors
So much slack in the wheel I begin to wonder if it’s been modified by technology.
Not slack just correcting it, a boat at These speeds is very delicate
