A few of those spots jarred the camera man so I assume that boat had the HD plastic on the hull.
The other video is something I would love to do someday.

That was awesome, there couldn't have been any more than 2 inches of water in some spots! Kinda reminded me of Red flying up the river in his Extreme Shallow Jet.

The crazy part is that video clip is the 18/75 with the heavier and less powerful 160 hp 4-stroke......the 21/75 and 2-stroke OptiMax is the real deal.
I used to think I was running shallow in my old tunnel until I watched the video of the 12-degree hull pitch "lake boats" running shallower than I ever thought about running with my tunnel. Having the intake shoe recessed into the hull makes a world of difference....about a 3-4 inch difference to be exact. :)
