I bought a GoPro camera and took some video from lake Guntersville today. Probably should have left the music off…

Thanks pasquesi. We ran the boat this weekend. Had a great time til technical problems with right transmission. Back on the water in a few weeks. I shot this with the GoPro. Sorry about the quality, long story. 😀

Here's something funny. Click on the link and watch the video. I didn't know it at the time but we were videoed at the boat launch on the 4th. The place was crawling with smokies as we idled by. I thought I might get pulled over for noise. I'm legal in all other ways, but not sure about the noise. They never bothered me but the boat appeared in the background 3 times :D

HA! You made the news, not sure if that is a good or bad thing anymore. I've followed this build, beautiful boat, head turner for sure.

Maybe the cameraman and video editors trying to get more online views?

That's pretty funny...from the video editing, it felt like the Scarab was loitering....

Planty more important safety issues to focus on vs some nice sounding BBC exhaust. Like the pontoon boat safety infraction agains the laws of nature.

Cant believe they didn’t pull you over in that Devils lettuce smugglin Cigar boat , Hell look at those front cargo hatches.
Next time shut one of the motors down, half the noise 🤔
