Matt is absolutely correct. The Gentry Turbo Eagle was the 1988 Superboat World Champion with triple Gentry Turbo engines and Sterndrives by Kiekhaefer. The 110 footer came later.

I use a back-up lanyard threaded to a grab handle from the camera. But I've never tested it, as I've never had the suction let go. On an open wheel track car, I duct taped it over the suction mount....
