Some lovely Boat Footage Del, looked like a nice day. I am very glad you managed to get help, you are 100% correct that a Toy Boat and Camera are not worth risking your life for..... but turning it in to a positive, I would suggest to your Wife that you need your own 1:1 boat for filming from 🤔😎

Hello, Phil! I don't know what I was thinking - I was so focussed on retrieving the footage on the GoPro to complete the video that I got my priorities all round the wrong way. That boat was a joy to drive, but not worth drowning for! I wonder if it's still afloat?

Hello, Rob. I still feel bit quesy from drinking so much salt water. I now wish I'd got my rescuers' contact details so I could thank them again for saving me. I lost £50's worth of electronics in the boat, a really good GoPro and my favorite LiPo, but I'd be a gonner if those two blokes hadn't risked their lives to save mine.

Yes, they do say the sea is a cruel mistress and as your story shows - it's very true even in seemingly innocuous conditions. It's such a shame that this wonderfully restored boat was lost at sea along with the footage to complete this video, but even so such an engaging film anyway. The way it was edited really captured the vibe of the comings and goings of this trade. I especially loved those onboard scenes looking back at the driver - they were super realistic and very satisfying to watch. Sadly stuff like this on KZbin is all to rare. Keep it going.

Great video Del, very educational on speedboats, geography & the risks of the sea. Glad you made it back safely. A lesson for us all. I've held off getting a boat for the local lake as it gets deep very quick & I'm not much of a swimmer. That certain motoring journalist does seem prone to accidents, so maybe that was an omen? The new boat ran well with excellent onboard footage. It really does have the look, sound & movement of a powerful boat.

Hello! First day of my unexpectedly extended life, and I'm taking stock of my priorities. I doubt I'll be recording any more speedboats in the sea... It's lakes and rivers for me from now on, and shallow ones at that! That boat was a delight to drive - it was a lovely hull, beautifully shaped with gorgeous handling qualities. It just took a thirty quid radio, an eighteen quid ESC and a steering servo to get it going.

Hello, Steve! Yes, I was fairly sure I'd had it for a while there. I did thank the two guys who pulled me back to shore at the time, but I feel guilty for sitting around retching and failing to get their contact details so I could thank them more coherently later. One thing;I packed enough buoyant material into the hull to ensure that it would float even when full of water, so I do keep wondering where the boat is now, where it'll end up and whether someone will eventually find it, washed up on some distant shore. I hope the GoPro is still in there if they do!

glad you're OK and boat wasn't a huge loss, it had some drive train issues as got. break out the foam board and epoxy-glass, you can scratch build something a lot faster. steering servo got water in it and got stuck, been there! always waterproof them, undo casing screws just enough to smear silicone into all joints, throw Vaseline or grease at the output was good enough back when, conformal coating would be better.

@@modelnutty6503 That's what I'll do. I've ordered a waterproof servo and ESC so it's just the receiver I'm concerned about. Because I made holes in the transom for the rudder linkage the much-mourned grey boat would spray water into its own hull whenever I went astern. You were right to say that it had driveline problems - there was quite bad vibration at high revs, as can be seen in the on board footage.
