Finally got a little video taken from the mother ship over Memorial Day. Cameras always seem to make the waves look smaller than they are

Very nice. The best video is shot from a boat mirroring alongside yours, especially when the camera boat is larger, more stable, and just as fast as yours!

What kind of Cig is it, and where do you guys boat out of?

:beer:

And I mean a solid run. Man did that look good! Did the cig slow down at the end or did you have some punch left?

We were running 60 for a while and then I sped up a little for a minute at the end of the video to 65 That cig runs near 100 so 5 seconds after the vid stopped he went by me like I was standing still. SC

So, I'm watching the video thinking, "That looks a lot like Parnell's boat, but it isn't posted by Cig35. Hmm. . . What's going on?"

Then the light bulb dimly lights. :idea:

I remember seeing that name on the back of a boat. And embroidered in the seats.

Notice how well the boat rides and how good looking the prop is.

I found a cool program on my computer that lets me freeze pics off this video and I can see the prop perfectly Stationary out of the water of course :pimp:

SweetC- great video man! Like you said, the camera makes it look pretty flat but the fact that the boat is getting out of the water tells us there's some water there whether we can see it or not

That's some really impressive footage.

Your 16 looks awesome on the move! That looks like it was a perfect day for running it on the big lake. I think we're gonna head back to Holland for a week at the end of July to run the 18, we'll keep an eye out for ya.

Was "Primal Instinct" the photo boat by any chance? That's a bad azz Top Gun!

Nice video, and don't worry, us Great Lakers' know exactly what those waves are like. Not just any small boat can do this and stay so straight. I can't wait to get back out on Lake Huron or Erie. My only time on Lake Michigan we had 6 footers and it wasn't doable. I did run on plane briefly and got wet. Even the big boats were heading in! Roadtrip ran a little longer out there and it was quite a sight watching a 22 skip along 6'ers!

Chappy, you should see the boat in person, it makes the video look cheap. This baby just raises the bar. I am going to quit between Mick and Parnell for innovation my brain can't function. For stock bling I go to Pearson. god I am on the ground floor of a 100 story building.

It is a beautiful thing! :yes:

(Resized to be smaller) And I must say, these pictures were taken while it was still a work in progress, and not complete.

Thanks Guys
It was Primal running along side me.

Carl We got 2-4 footers on the way home and it was wet, jarring and long ride home Had to dump the wife off halfway and run the rest solo. Pretty intense Probably won't do it again for awhile. :boggled:
