I came across this video. He has another one titled like he is in the Akron Ohio area.
Seeing this kind of stuff scares me, for this guys safety, and others around him.
I'm not posting this to throw him under the bus. Hopefully he will find this site, and get Grizz to help him get this boat under control.

I think he knows exactly what he is doing..
Merc drive looks like K-planes..He's trimed to the 9's
The seat is back as far as he can get it. And' a very healthy engine...Ed
Couldn't get me in that boat with a gun.

I think he should be wearing a PFD when driving so close to the 'EDGE" of being out of control.
Possibly a little less positive trim would settle it down a bit.
Looks like he has Dry Pipes from the angle they protrude through the transom.

Guys, I believe that is SmallBlockFord. He posted that video to show the problems he was having with handling. He knows it is not dialed in and was simply looking for advice.

Good catch DW. Don't know how I missed putting this together.

When I had my 408 in a 16 it handled exactly like that, I attributed it to the loose cable steering and the looser pre alpha M series drive. in two years the motor never ran over 4k cause I was too scared:yes: I almost chucked my neighbors wife into the drink (and she can't swim) went home and disassembled it that weekend, If I couldn't drive it no-one else was going to either. then I put that motor in an 18 and all the planets aligned:yes:
First advice I'd give him is to wear a lifejacket.
If he is testing without a lifejacket on, he could end up pretty damn dead.
