WOW!!! What a terrific shot!!!! The dead boat for contrast against the color of the one flying by, and the roostertail of the one in front for effect! A fav for me!!!!!

I dont like the tether, maybe you could have cloned that out- I find it draws my eye away from the focal point and the centre of the image.

Amazing shot with the water flying up there so high! Too bad the red speedboat is a bit out of focus, but still a great shot.
