A few shots.

The battlewagon was a perfect parker platform even with the electrical ailments.

The video of the schiada ride is rendering. Actually, I wouldn't call it a video...more like the sounds of the schiada ride with some quality interior shots.

At about :33 you can hear the motor step up. I'm guessing we went from about 50 to 60 from :33 to :34. I'd say it's a minimum of 5 mph for even step up in motor sound. That's not the impressive part. What got me amped was the fact that every step up in throttle input was immediate forward movement and a little vertical lift right out of the water. There is no lag and it takes your body a half second to catch up with that movement.

The motor got much louder later in the video after I put it in the pocket and started holding on with both hands. But you don't really want to watch the interior of a pocket.

Such a cool sound.

Glad to see Herbst running but I thought they sold that boat.

Ed was running the Skater and Dunsmore was driving the Schiada 21 turbo boat...

I want to thank Tony at DCB who took us for a ride in the 31. At 120 it rips the headsets off your head...:D:thumbsup:D That was by far one of the best days I have ever had at the lake!

Bummer for this Fountain owner though...

The engines in the last set of these pics were off the charts cool.. 2 freight trained together for a "reliable" 1500 HP, according to the engine builder.. Or individual for a reliable 750HP ea. obviously they can be tuned up or down accordingly.

That boat with the polar bear in it was a bit odd..

I guess at least it wasn't a dragon attacking a smurf or something and it kinda had that old "coca cola" thing going for it.
