Using the camera boats, we have a montage of clips here which help to appreciate the many variables between cameras and conditions around the lake at different times of the year.
Second go at getting a decent launch vid, - tricky when backing in as you have to manage steering, fwd/rev and handbrake together, (plus having to use 2 TXs and 2 cameras. ). Getting slightly better at it. Next time will be launched by the amphitruck, as it's bigger, heavier and has better grip, (and 4x4 rear drive.) Ramp was a bit wet and slippery for the jeep, (would pull it up in the dry ok) I have a 4k vid of the boat from the new camera, but need a new editor for MOV vids.
Hi Steve, the ramp's not too bad, just the big 1 1/4 x 3/4 joints in the concrete are fun to get over, (sort of equivalent to driving over a 1ft wide ditch. Almost finished the towbar for the amphitruck, so keen to try towing with that next time. The driveshaft brake on the jeep is a big help,- holds the 13lb lump easily.
Test no 2 with deflector plate above jet unit,- stops water running up the transom in reverse. Changed cameras so vid is slightly better than the last rubbish😁 Also demonstrates the jets ability to have fwd, neut and reverse while running in one direction.
Hi Martin, quite pleased that it worked so well😊 And you mean put out fires like this ? (jet boat, Lake Lyndon NZ 2012)😁😁 Quite a common fire fighting method by the public for boats these days, especially using jet skis.
This video is taken from 2 different vessels with cameras, there are multiple salvages and a few crashes 😊
This will be the last video from Hubertus for an unknown amount of time due to the CoronaVirus my Government has shut down all nonessential services including clubs.
