The boat in #1 broke something in the driveline. Can hear the engine zing.
Happened to me twice this year within 3 weeks without a crash. Prop shaft then drive shaft

#1 deffinately broke something in the driveline. Prop stopped. Ass end came up and front went down.
#2, this guy shoulda got outta the gas right at the start.
Glad both were ok.

Wow!
You guys are good. Only after I went back and watched #1 several more times I have to agree.
And a big YES #2 should have backed off.
Very glad both were OK :) Just a lot of money.

Notice the blower belt come off #1 when the engine zings?

Ron on Jerry Davis's crash he lost an ear on the prop, which in a flat will definitely cause the tail to blow out and stick the nose.

Ouch. I'm with Info. If you lose a belt like that, the engine loses everything and will stuff the nose.
