@buckbuck by the way...my daughter saw your video and said .... "I've gotta try that".... So if you are sub commanding at Shelbyville..you have one requested passenger!

Have you thought of grabbing a couple of ballast pumps to speed the emptying process?

Not that I would EVER do this considering the amount of cash in audio electronics alone...but out of curiosity how is it even done?

Easy. Go forward at a moderate speed, then throw it in reverse. The nose goes under and you fill up with water. Good to know if you have to go under a low bridge at high tide. :winkingthumbsup"

The more weight you have in the bow, the lower the bow will go, also the faster you are going and the harder you throw it into reverse impacts how deep it plows.

I do a "shower" move almost every trip out....go 35....and put it into reverse not too hard. Drives the bow down and sprays the occupants. You can practice this and get the spray down to a science....

@buckbuck has the sub down to a science!

I didn't think the water would get into the ski locker and engine compartment.

I'm voting for a GoPro video of a sub move, who can do that for us?? I'm thinking a tower mount view down to the bow, I think that would be awesome to see....

One weird thing I've noticed is when I do a sub move, the boat turns sharply even though I'm pointed straight ahead. I forget which way it turns - I think its to the right - but it always turns the same direction when I do a sub move. Anybody know why?

I've noticed that. More weight on right side would cause it?

Its the screwball effect turning your boat to the right. :)

all you nay-sayers don't know what you're missing! Its a blast on a hot day. And good for lots of laughs too. :D

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. :p

(p.s. I'm not talking about the mastercraft move in the video I'm talking about the Yamaha shower move described by Julian)
