'98 Sport Video

Some time ago we had a discussion, I think in one of the prop selection threads, about speed and how much of the hull was in the water, I think Mark (lewy2001) and I were comparing our '98 Sports.

I had some fun on the water on a chilly November day with a few raindrops beginning to fall. I put a video camera on a dock and made a few passes for anyone that might be interested. They aren't dropping the level in our lake until late November so for the first time ever I have the boat in the water in November, kind of neat.

Sorry about the long video, I don't know how to edit and chop it up to show just the boat passes. Here's the interesting time spots:

32 mph pass 2:46
32 mph pass 3:38
WOT pass 4:30
WOT pass 5:14
Holeshot from stern 7:08
Holeshot from right 8:10
Holeshot from left 9:08

WOT was a bit over 45 mph at 5,200 rpm.

I know, let me know if there is an online editing program I can use. I tried Windows Movie Maker and it lets you cut off video from each end but I couldn't find a way to trim sections in the middle. That's why I put the pertinent times down!

Speed is on the perfect pass gps speedo. It was something like 45.3 and rpm were a bit higher than earlier in the summer, think I hit 5240 rpm. Definitely will be finding a 422 at some point, I should have mentioned this was with the 1442. If I had a person to pan the video I could have zoomed in more, had to leave it wide to get some field of view.
