chine walk

[cSickNick]

You guys are all nuts pushing a 20' boat that fast!

I remember my boat started to "Chin Walk". Thats when you launch off a good sized wave and your "Chin Walks" from Starboard side and slams on something on the Port side!

I began racing hydroplanes 40 years ago as a boy, since the days of the spade-hulled "B" outboard "knee-boats" with a Mark 7 Merc. I've driven a wide variety of boats at great speeds, and crewed offshore racing powerboats of 22' and 30' as a throttleman and driver, and I've driven on the water at speeds greater than 100 mph. That's my credentials.

Fr. Frank curious on when you joined the priesthood?
Was it during or after or both?
