(PS might want to right click the link and save to disk to save time)

Well what does everyone think?
(nice apache huh?)
Jason

Oh come on now, no one has any comments?
Whats up?

taking a long time to download (with cable)

I think we are killing Nort's server
I saw that the download speed on DS3 was 30 K
when I first went to get it before I posed the link, I got the whole thing in under 2 minutes
well, not much I can do there, just keep trying,
Has anyone seen it yet?
besides me and Nort?
Jason

I'll let you know in 43mins........and that's a DSL.:mad:

OK finally got it....Did we manage to crash Nort's server yet or what??? :D:D

Cool video!! Congratulations on getting out on the water....

Jay,
I don't have the time to download, it's super slow here at work.

I'm glad to hear that you finally got it in the water.
Jay, I could name so many engine builders over the years that can't seem to figure out BB Chev heads????
One guy set the valves too tight and valves hung up and hit the piston, another guy didn't check for spring bind. Another guy installed the wrong springs (too light valves floated and hit the pistons). I can't believe your guy left the rotaters in!
The heads on the engines in my boat now, I set the valve spring height and assembled them myself. If something goes wrong, I have nobody to blame, but me.
I'm happy for ya. And I feel for ya, I've been out only two times this summer.
DS

Hey whats up Z
Yeah I know
My whole 15 minutes out this year
2 of them caught on this video tape
anyway, Yeah some engine builders have their nubbies do stuff and then dont have time to check it and then it goes out unchecked and forgotton about until you have to make that IM GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS phone call that you have to make.

So it has been a frusterating summer so far with this but now looks like it is time to do some testing and having some fun with it which i think is why I bought it to being with??? not sure if I remember anymore.
Jason

Hmmmmmmmmm........


I've never used that site for video before. Perhaps it's not on the fast sever anymore because hardly ANYONE is using the www.OffshoreBid.com site!!!!!

Try this link here instead:

MUCH faster
212 K
thanks Nort!!!!

Jason,

Nice video. Engines look really good! Bet a month ago you never imagined you'd see the day :D

BTW, how did you transfer the video? I've got a bunch (from a digital VTR), that I'd like to transfer.

I bought this dazzle thing
USB and takes the cam corder and uses its RCA cables and plugs into this thing and then into the USB
install software and away you go
I think it is
www.dazzle.com

not bad
60 bucks
laptop, desktop or whatever you have as long as you have a OS that can use a USB (windows NT 4 no USB support)
your fine
Jason

Congratulations Jay!!!! That kinda makes it all worthwhile doesn't it?

Have fun

It's coming in at about 5kb/sec...I'll let you know in an hour!:D

That second link did it! Looks good to me. Congrats:D Now put together and enjoy the rest of the summer!

The second link came in MUCH faster!!! < 5 mins.

That was pretty cool Jay. I thought Russ was out to check for leaks and problems??? Looks like he was having fun video taping the run :D

That was my buddy Dave in the apache....Nice boat.

I should be out tommorow after work if you want someone to run with you.....Hell, I'll go out the rest of the week if the weather is decent. :D

Well need to change oil on both engines first, then find out why steering is too tight and see if I can grease up the shifter cables
cause they are tight too
I doubt Ill be out before this coming saturday but i WILL be out there
and hopefully some retard ***** wont back into me at the ramp like last weekend
I almost shot her with the flare gun, I just got this tub back together last thing I need is some dumb fat ***** tearing it apart with her bayliner 1979 run about with a tattered bimini top!!!!
honey, this boat is worth more than your life to me!!!
people that can not drive should not be NEAR a launch ramp!!!
END of story
Damn shame you guys cant HEAR the boat that well with the video camera
She was LOUD and I was loving it but more concerned with oil PSI, water temp, ect
Came up on plane real nice though and did not even touch the drives and planing at 2000 RPM's
that got me a woody, used to plane around 2500-2600 before (lack of power)
Jason

Nice. Glad you stuck with it, aren't you :D

I got it...Cool Video, Jay!!! :cool:

Looks like she rides and runs well...Hope you have the best of luck with it...It must be a great feeling being so close to completion! :D :cool:

Yes Im glad I stuck with it greg, No question in my mind.
Daze, hey bro, she got up to about 45 mph at 3000 rpm's with ease
Cant beat on her just yet but give it time.
I want to feel 100% comfortable before I go all out first, but im happy with just cruising around.
All I can say is MAN she is big
this baja is a BIG boat
maybe that was because of the steering being tight but man you can feel her and she took some of the wakes I went through and hardly shuddered at all.
Big ol outerlimits blew past us out there and Russ and I were like damn, and im sure from how loud the exhaust is on this now, he was probably saying the same thing, Damn!!!!

Well time to get out of here soon and get home, grub and start on the steering and cables and oil changes
See what is going on with all this now.
GOD I cant wait until Saturday!!!!!!!!!
WOOHOO
Jason

great video jay:D i would say that one probably get a bigger smile than the wedding video:p what are you doing for props still using the 21s??

Rob

Looks and sounds healthy! Congrats and good luck!

looks good keep them coming, 24.5 kb per min not bad:D

Jesse..........
Now Jerome...............
.................Yessssss.................

Hey Rob, Yeah im still using the woussy 21 P props for now.
Wife put her foot down so for now, I stay with the 21's
(going to need to start prop swapping and getting the feel for her with 27-28-29 range I think)
Ill do the prop swap next year, there are alot of places that do that around here so Im sure Ill be able to come up with something good.
Maybe some 4 blade deals or Mirage plus 28's ???
I dont know yet but I can promise you that those 21's are not going to be there forever.
Talked to Hot Duck and he suggested starting around 27 and moving on up.
Thanks guys for the compliments, Im sure with all that has happened you all would want to see it out on the water even if it was for only a few minutes.
I keep that video running over and over and over again on my computer. Gives me something to look forward to this weekend.
Cant wait
WOOHOO
Jason
