Great Adventure - First Run
 

Video of our first time out with Great Adventure! Great ride - looking forward to warmer weather...

have fun and take care of her :)

Looks good and sounds good!! :Score-101010:

nice cool ride is the least i can say!!!

Nice vid. What camera are you using? I like that it muffled the wind noise with simultaneous front and rear.

Thanks! Multiple cameras. Old ION on the transom/wake - used that for the soundtrack and green screened overlay background as "the sky". Newer ION on the bow facing forward (didn't use the audio due to the wind noise as you pointed out). GoPro on the bow facing aft. I synched them all by either engines firing up or passing a buoy or bridge shadow as we passed under.

Bad a$$!

Does it run 85 chris? ;)

it can,,if he's not afraid to tow it that fast.;D

Y did you sell it?
It's now back in Jersey

is it back a sutphen's shop getting the transom glassed in?

SOLD - Deposit received - pickup in spring. GA's under the white shrink wrap in back. I was planning on repowering and Bravos (71mph was fun, but too slow), then I found an Ocean Pacer hull (under the green tarp) and also bought some beautiful LS3s in Swap Shop.

BTW - the previous GA owner, Mike Telow (Connecticut), was very nice, UNTIL WE CLOSED THE DEAL. All I needed was an old registration or redo the bill of sale with a notary so I could get her USCG Documented. He stopped replying to texts and wouldn't answer the phone. NOT COOL. I thought we were all supposed to help each other out. Warning: If Mike sells either Skater in the future, RUN. Don't buy from him.

I did have a fantastic summer with Great Adventure!

Did you sell GA? I thought I hear this... I wish Id have known.. Id have loved to get ahold of her.

Yes. See post 15. 😀

Bummer, where did she go? Ill second that Mike was an odd duck.

We had 10 years of fun with it also when it was mine.

She's been back in NJ since 2019
 

I bought the boat with my brother with the intentions of restoring it and racing it but cancer had other plans for us.
GREAT ADVENTURE has been sitting on my farm since we purchased it under a cover.
We contemplated selling her but we were able to connect with the original crew that built her and its going in this winter to be Redone. We are excited.
It'll just be a conversation piece going forward and not raced.

Where is she going to be redone?...more importantly, hope you lick all your battles!
