New 212 video

[bigdave]

I did this short 212 video yesterday. Not the best quality. I was trying to run the boat and take the video at the same time. I noticed I was about to be creamed by a crazy women driver in a Chriscraft.
I would have dove down but I was out of fingers to hit the switch. BD.

Hi Ben,
That was a lazy circle. Not hard over. It will do just about half that on the surface, and a little over two feet under water. It really depends on the speed too. When I get her painted I will do a video of a underwater hard turn at speed.
She will almost do a Bat-Turn!! BD.

Nice BD. I almost have

Nice BD. I almost have that jet done. Then I'll build mine. It's a first for me not to build my own design first. However after the hard push to get these kits out I needed a break.

Hope the rest of you bums build it next. Get good video someone at the Regatta. I won't be there this year.
