These buys have power motor tilting mechanisms that can be adjusted when underway. When the engine is tipped down and the nose of the boat can grab hold of the water in a turn, some of these boats can pull up to 4 g lateral turning force. Then it's back up with the engine so that almost none of the boat is touching the high drag water for the straightaway legs of the course. If you adjust the nose too high, you blow over, too low and your'e slow
Photgereralist - thanks for that info. I looked back at my pics and it looks like the boats going around the buoys are stable - not titling like a motorcycle going around a turn. I also saw your point about the bow having to be out of the water...most of the boats seemed to have the bows up about the same degree. Thanks for your post.
