operator was testing his race boat on the Savannah River on April 15, 2009. He was practicing take offs from the starting line out to about 1000 feet.  On his sixth pass he throttled his race boat and began to trim the motor.  The motor trim stuck, causing the bow of the boat to lift.  It was a moderately windy day and due to the fact that it is a race hull the wind lifted the boat from the water and caused it to flip.  There was no floatation in the boat and it sank after the wreck.  The boat was recovered the following week and was noted that the trim was stuck in the up position.
