Default Whoo-Hooo! (onboard vid)

Right click, save as please.

Whooo-Hoooo!

The on-board Sony MiniDV and 8 AAs for the helmetcam messed with the weight balance a bit (you'll see the boat rock a bit) but nothing major.

That was killer!


I'm eyeing my boat now... It hasn't been driven or on the water in a good 2-3 years now I could never get into it very much. It was sort-of dull driving around in circles. I'd love to race my boat up and down creeks that have "scale" rapids.

From that angle, the roost looked twelve feet tall! Pretty cool, man.

It'll throw about a nine foot tall roost for a good distance...



I figure I'll cut, sharpen, and balance the stock prop tonight and see if I can squeeze a bit better performance out of the thing.

Great vid JIA. I was running my boat this weekend and flipped it! 23cc's don't like water too much, but it still survived. Scared the hell out of me at the time.

I want to get the big 46" done.

It's an old Prather Fun Cruiser.

Can't decide whether to actually put the time and effort (money) into it or just get a nice Aeromarine cat and be done with it.

Then there's always that 1/3 scale, 440cc Hydro idea.

I love my Gator no trouble with it in 3 years. This is the first time i flipped it and i thought $1,000 dollars was going to the bottom of the lake.

No floatation or anything?

Pool noodles at least?

It's a little hairy close to shore, there's some crap growing near shore.

If you want a speed reference, GPS showed 32.5mph.

That was awesome! Quality was really great. Usually that sort of thing seems good on paper, but man that was sweet.

If you need a Bruce Hansen engine let me know. He is a friend of a friend.

I wish I lived near a lake.
