What a ride, I too have been lucky. I used to have a 21 ft Bullet that would GPS 81 and I took some pretty wild rides in it!
I have since moved on to the better ride and fishability instead of the speed. Dude was lucky for sure, especially with no helmet on.
Had a similar experience on Center Hill one day during a tournament. I had mine up on pad running about 65 and went to make a little turn and the wind picked the front end up and the boat broke loose. We skidded sideways and completed a 180 before the hull caught the water. The boat rolled up and would have gone over if the wing of my Hydrasport had not been there to deflect it back down. Boat was full of water. I exercise a little more caution now but still run hard in rough water.
