Man am I the only one that is finding it hard to get some good pictures of my boat running? After 3 buddies have tried to take pictures I think I have about 25 pictures and not one good one. I guess I can't comlpain they were cheap.

Ok I guess this one is ok just goofing off.



I know my boat isn't that fast.

One of these days when I am not so busy working I can come see if I can get a few pictures for ya. Wouldnt be for a month or so yet though but im sure we could work something out if ya like.

I thought we told you to take those Rails off??

My wife did the same thing last year. I think it's got something to do with the delay in digital camera's when you push the button. Out of i don't even know hpw many pics, only a few were usable.

I like this one. It's got the important stuff...you and your outboard.

You've got good running attitude, you're up on the pad and the motor is perpendicular to the lake'

I like that paralift, but can't we raise it a bit?

As far as pics, you should try a "camera boat". Get one of your fast friends to run with you and have a third person take pics from his boat. These can look cool because the backround will be a bit blurry but the boat will be in focus.

This is a messed up deal I can't do any major modifications to the boat so the rails will have to stay. They are ugly as heck but I have to admit they are handy. I also can't put a nosecone on the gearcase so that's as high as I can go without loosing water pressure, I have the top 4 holes plugged so far. I do like the paralift jack plate I bought it for $50 a couple years ago just cuse it was cheap.
My gps doesn't have a tadle tale so I have to look down and I admit I'm not cumfortable doing that yet so the last speed I saw was 73 with a yamaha v-max series prop. The 24 merc chopper is a whole lot of fun .

I have the same luck. It's no help that the sun is on it's way down when I get a chance to get pictures. I quickly setup my DSLR for a buddy yesterday, and just didn't get the settings close enough for him. He had the boat pretty good in most pictures, just blurry and grainy.

So I called a friend of mine that is into photography a couple weeks ago and asked if he would take some pictures. He was thrilled at the oportunity because he had just got a new camera and wanted to try something different so he came out with his boat and we had some fun. I also tried out my new go pro camea, great investment! Here are some of the 163 pictures he took.
