Not enough video and the video sucks!!!

[jeff55v]

@carlosmurphy4u You get what you pay for.

Let me know when you upload your first video, I'll be sure to check it out.

@carlosmurphy4u If the weather holds this weekend and I make it up there, I might get some HD720 footage in. (I still can't say it'll be the best, because it's a DSLR with video rather than dedicated video cam.) Otherwise it won't be until October for another shot at it. They only seem to have powerboat racing on Lake Andrea on two weekends out of the entire year. Small lake which is great for relatively close viewing. Events there are unique because no powerboats allowed on that lake otherwise.

@pauljs75 Thank you. I hope you get some great footage.

are any of those hydros originals or are they all newer? just rebuilt a 50's hydro with a mark 55 and a quickie lower unit on it

[jeff55v]

Most of the older boats in the video were on static display. The oldies are cool, but they are not competitive with the newer boats.

The Mark 55 motor is still a legal "D" class motor within the APBA.

@sheddski, I don't think anybody that runs at the bsoa races has a Bezoats. They are not the best either they ride to flat and don't handle very well from my experience

Didn't mean to ding anybody's prop, I would rather listen to the engines in any motor sport vid..

[4ucarlosmurphy]

Carlos Murphy does not even have a single video on his channel and yet he says this video sucks. I say Carlos Murphy sucks.

@jeff55v Thanks. I got a little bit of the action on Saturday. (xKM5pltSP6U) I'm going to try again on Monday. It sounds like the weather is supposed to be better too. What I shot so far makes me wish I had a better tripod for doing video. (It works great for still shots, and fixed shots for time-lapse, but it's not the smoothest thing for panning.)

I wonder if I should try any interviewing in the pits? Only thing is, I'm not familiar with the sport and my camera only shoots 5-min at a time.
