A civilian GPS has errors due to the clock in the GPS and the time it takes to measure the signal. At their best they are about 3 meters off and can be more depending on if there is problems with the satalite, atmopheric conditions and so on. you figure a built in 3 meter error the boat moving up and down and you can get pretty close to that. Military GPS is good down to about 300 milimeters.

That looks like one smooth ride out there for them. Congrat's on getting a great day for the run.

I was thinking the same thing. I've not seen them switch seats at all, but I've only checked on them a few times throughout the day.

Well, didn't see them actually switch seats, but did catch when Chris had climbed in the back and Tyson climbed into the drivers seat but don't know how long.

This is very cool, but is anyone else wondering why they didn't build a Statement 42 Ultimate with the suspension cockpit for the run?

Tyson and Chris didn't build this Skater. After their record last year and after Buzzi beat it, Pete called Tyson and offered this 399 Skater V. They took his offer. They had no say in any of the design or build.
