I take it there aren't a lot of birds on that body of water?

This thing is an absolute weapon. Looks like a handful to drive. What an absolutely amazing race course the scenery is stunning. I'll bet there;s some pucker folds in the upholstery.

This boat absolutely flies, love it. Are the ailerons controlled manually by the copilot or do you have them controlled automatically via a gyro or something?

If I'm correct I think there running well over 130 mph and I would have liked to go much faster lol

What's the average speed and is that boat running a Turbine ?.
@Chris.Davies Жыл бұрын
Wow. That was pretty intense. I know the Matukituki is a decently large river, but it looks small going that speed.

Great run -- I'd be playing with the hull bottom design just a little to get rid of that chine walking it does at that one speed. It shouldn't take too much to get rid of it.

I agree with Mr. Fuller absolutely a rush to cruise at such speeds if you like that kind of thing!🙃

those canards, are they for lifting the front of the boat in those shallow areas? it's hard to tell but are they adjustable?
@ats-36932 жыл бұрын
Yes the driver adjusts the pitch with a thumb switch to tweak the nose up/down attitude of the boat to keep it planing correctly at different speeds, wind directions, and water conditions.

Approximately what’s speeds are you hitting on that large open run near the middle of the video? Also, are you running a Jet engine and a Jet impeller/intake/transmission? How much HP?

you can see on the motec display we are cracking just over 200kph across the lake, its a T-58 gas turbine with an american turbine jet unit

How does the navigator know where to direct the driver. Is he constantly looking at a gps from the preliminary run and directing the driver on which channel to run?
@attackmarine3882 жыл бұрын
We pre run the river in a slower boat to familiarize ourselves with some lines and landmarks to hit, gps tracks arent allowed in our country so its all done via memory and sometimes pace notes. Usually just boat the river as we see it

@@attackmarine388 How does it look from the driver's point of view compared with the camera view? I'd hate to be making decisions based on what we see on our screens. Are the foils on the front of the boat fixed, or adjusted manually or automatically?
@attackmarine3882 жыл бұрын
@@TrevorDennis100 camera view is almost better than driver/navigators view as the camera view is on the top of the rollcage and has a better angle on the water, wings on the front of the boat are manually adjustable from the steering wheel
