My initial thought was WAY over trimmed! Weren't the Talons a Dick O'Day project??

While he had driven the boat a lot I don't think he had explored the limit much, it's possible he was watching the GPS while trimming out not realising how much trim he was carrying. It was also a pretty massive cleaver and quite a heavy boat I think the prop suddenly kicked in and whoaaaaa.....
