Are Tyson and Chris going to do the Bermuda run in that boat? I hope they take the record back, too bad they don't have the same drivetrain in a 40 Skater cat.

They might'a lost a GoPro or two but at least that cooler was strapped in tight :D


Nice screen grab of the camera exiting lol good luck fellas bring home that Bermuda record :cool:

I think the cooler is actually a life raft.. I could be wrong, often am, but I know they have to have a raft more than a cooler.

The coolers are used as tubs to hold safety gear, they are reasonably water tight, they float, and they have rounded corners so if we are bouncing off them we dont get hurt as bad.

The boat did good in the rough water test, we lost those cameras when we first took off then we ran the rest of the day out there in the rough to see how it handled the waves at different angles.

The weather is not looking good but we are probably going to do a long distance test run in the rough on wednesday.
