Cool Miss A with TSH Mod Go Engine .18

Well I finally got time to head to the Lake and do More Testing on the Go Engine .18 It was a Lovely Day on the water, almost No Breeze just a Slight Ripple on the water and glassing off at the end of the day, air Temp was around 50*F water temp was 49*F, and Miss Attitude was Lovin It I set a New Personal Best Speed On Vid for the .18.
My camera man was a little off his game and Somehow got the camera on Manual Focus so the close up shots of the GPS are A Little Fuzzy but you Can See what she got.

Wink the Rest of the day

Well I was a bit wore down when I got home last night so I only edited the Top Speed Vid

Here's a compilation of the 3 runs I caught on vid getting her dialed in

Yea I'm creeping up on the 50mph mark But all I can say is the guys that have posted vids doing 50+ have the GPS buried inside the hull not out where it gets a Clear View of the Sky

I started to make another run with mine inside the hull but my camera man had somewhere to be,,, Maybe Next Time

Cool Quest for 50mph

Well Mother Nature Didn't exactly Cooperate,, The Weather Man Was Wrong The Haze did lift SOME but the Sun Never Did shine and the Temps never got above 41*F, water temp was 39*F and with this Next Cold front rolling in Barometric Pressure was LOW, winds were blowing 14 to 16mph and gusting up to 20mph,,NONE of These Factors make for a Good Day on The Pond ,,,
BUT I Did IT Anyway ,,,
Luckily this lake has plenty of Trees around it and since I run out of my John Boat I can usually find a fairly calm spot ,, But it was Cold getting all the way across the lake to Find It ... THEN There was Old Man Murphy He was Really Tryin to Push My Bottons
BUT I Did find a Cameraman Brave Enough to Go With and Suffer,,LOL,, to see if I Grabbed the Golden Ring OR Not
Before we even got the Camera ON and started good,, while I was getting the First tank of fuel run through her to flush out the ARO and WD-40,, I DID Pull a First,, For ME Anyway,,
Miss A Did a Back Flip with a Twist ,,, and Landed IT Right Side UP and Still Strollin We were Both like Holly Crap did You See That and Immediately got the Camera Out Just In Case we Had Any more of IT Happen,,, LOL..


Here's HOW The Day Went,,,, ENJOY!!
