Nice video, thanks for posting.

I realize you need to drag the anticipation out alittle longer, but give us a ball park speed the boat is running. SICK video, love the props surfacing....would hate to lose a blade.

DrGaryDC 03-28-2013 08:51 AM

Yea, what kind of numbers are we talking about here. I bet we all have a guess in mind:)

Straight as an arrow. Kinda looks like a 100 mph rig to me. ;)

DrGaryDC 03-28-2013 10:16 AM

lets hope so, but i would like to see a gps reading, to keep everyone honest:)

kreed 03-28-2013 10:30 AM

Hard to say..always looks fast on the water! In our neck of the woods, the GPS is referred to as THE LIE DETECTOR!

The Lie Detector has broken ALOT of hearts here in CT! Hahaha.

But yea, looks to run HARD and thats in flat water. :party-smiley-004:

BLee 03-28-2013 10:49 AM

Running great. I love seeing the props spinning on those Arnesons. :cool:

Scooter 03-28-2013 11:18 AM

I agree Frank. They appear to have a winner ;)

Dkahnjob 03-28-2013 06:38 PM

Very impressive.

CigaretteSam 03-28-2013 06:41 PM

I'd want to see a fly-by video!

Revinchevy 03-28-2013 07:09 PM

Looks pretty wicked!!!

Rik 03-28-2013 11:33 PM

Hopefully there will be more video next week when it runs again.

spazboz 03-29-2013 03:05 PM

I love it when they throttle up and the camera starts pointing down.

bwd 03-29-2013 03:34 PM

At least they still have it. Gopro should use offshore race boats as their product proving ground. Anything over 80 all bets are off nevermind rough water. I'm sure thoseguys tightened the crap out of that screw. I do.

KitePool 03-29-2013 08:38 PM

with go pro, it helps to 'flip' the camera so it shoots upside down
and then hang it
in-stead of having the last clamp under the lense

also,...

go pro mounts n clamps are not good

the only piece you NEED is the adapter for 1/4 inch threads,
then you get real stuff at a camera pro shop
for mounting and suction cupping and clamping
