Posted in multiple Forums just for you Havasu Hangin :)
New end of season video from the quad rotor project boat. Made a stock Bravo last all season behind it.
Zoom lenses do not do justice to speed. 120+ and the rest about 115
First fly by at the Thurs night outing 3 evenings ago. The rest today. Negotiating a turn at the left of the screen. Slowing down for it when going toward it.
EVERY TIME adding throttle a little at a time making sure the drive lives for another day.
This is "Well Done's" Boat

I love the sound of the Quads as the boat goes by! I would have thought the stock Bravo would have impersonated a grenade under all the torque:wink: . Awesome Job on the motor Infoman! Looks like a success!:D

INFO DOES HE STILL HAVE THE BRAVO 1 DRIVE ON THE BOAT
OR DID HE UPGRADE THE DRIVE. LOOKS LIKE THE BOAT TAKES A GOOD SET & THAT MOTOR SOUNDS BAD ASS.

The stock Bravo is still there and working fine. A bit of conservative driving and a few ounces of Prolong works wonders. Do not have to worry about jumping it out of the water around here. Those conditions only exist on lakes we do not go to. Too many good water lakes to deal with that. All within 45 minutes. At least 5 very nice lakes.

Yea I wish I knew how to capture the sensation of speed.
A new clip with music including some from inside the boat shot yesterday is in the works.
Should be pretty spectacular. :D
I will not be able to take credit for the production.
