The white boat is a 1985 12 ft Lazer with a 50 HP Johnson. The yellow boat is a 1970 GW Invader with a 40 HP Mercury. The video was taken at Lake Houston in Humble, TX on November 16, 2006.

  • Hi if you lift the motor up 1 notch i think you will find it will run alot smoother and will not porpose ( as you can see the nose bouncing up and down over calm water, bring it up a notch and it will stop bouncing so much)

  • put a 1:1 lower unit on ur motor. i have a 12 ft GW invader with a 1:1 ratio and i go 70 mph with my 40

  • dude i have a GW Invader it sweet

  • These mini-boats are RAD!I have not even used that word, since the eighties!

    No better word to describe them. I just can't tell, which boat is which? As far as, which boat is what. I wonder if there are, newer models of these out there???

    I would like to pimp one of these out!

  • were did u buy it from i cant find the lazer anywere

  • I just restored a 1979 GW Invader to look like a 79 Trans am....Im posting a video of it soon!

  • no the technical term is a HOOK on yhe bottom of a boat

  • The movement of water crossing the bottom of the boat at speed is a diagonal from keel to chines, in a sort of fan pattern. If keel and bottom are straight in aprox. the aft third, the fan is stable. If not, the hull rides up on its bow wave, drops over it, and repeats the dynamic. A very slight twist to the run of the bottom can make a big difference at high speed-to-length ratios.

  • I JUST BOUGHT THAT SAME BOAT A WEEK AGO

  • The rhythmic hobby-horsing of a planing hull on flat water is usually due to a hull with curves where it should be straight. Now don't laugh; the technical term is parallel buttocks.
