Adrenaline amounts higher than anything I've experienced.. Just watching gets the levels really flowing. Awesome stuff guys, may the bottom keep facing down. All amazing boats.. That Donzi or whatever GN 24. Splitting the water molecules he putting some power into it. Applause 👏

My boat's been in hibernation since I became disabled in 2003..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠

[@flaplaya]

For sale? Time for me to start looking

[@billallen4793]

​@@flaplayayes!

[@billallen4793]

It's one of the last Hondo boat's and the fastest flatbottom ever designed, XH511 T-DECK runner-bottom V-drive with a Casale box with a BBC468 way too much to describe here!

[@billallen4793]

Here in Florida used to have flat bottom boats built here now they all moved to California so here in Florida we don't have any flat bottom boats to run around we have lots of fresh water here but no flat bottom boats they all moved out of here nowhere to find them to buy one I want one badly I cannot find one here in Florida no longer around

Arguably the most successful flatbottom circle boat racer of all time lives in Florida - Duff Daily.

Great video what camera are you using?

[@vdrivevideo]

Thanks! I shoot all of my boat stuff with an old (2008) Canon XL-H1 tape camera.

[@piffiiiiiiit]

[@Dissentient01]

[@ericsperry8066]

[@leonp8746]

[@petchy9088]

[@mckessa17]

Boating is big in Canada, which has 80% of the world's fresh water lakes.

[@Inflamez1371]

What kinda of boat/hull is that GN 24 white and blue?

[@hvacboater]

Lake Elsinore isn't closed anymore?

[@vdrivevideo]

I didn’t see any signs…

[@daniellachapelle952]

Im looking by internet were to buy engine coupling kit so all parts i need between the engine and the propeller so were i can get those parts ?

[@scottm7341]

Is the gn24 a Schiada?

[@vdrivevideo]

No it’s a Rayson-Craft.

[@angelanelajuly2961]

I build boats in Hawaii. I'd rather build these. Next time, someone get me at the airport. I gotta have a ride. Fishing boats are boring.. I should run one of these in Hilo Bay. DLNR cannot catch me till I'm done

[@doccyclopz]

Those GN's never seem very safe to me.

[@ericsperry8066]

If I wanted to be safe I’d stay home, show me a 120mph boat that “seems” safe. One of the best handling boats out there bar none 💪🏻

[@doccyclopz]

@@ericsperry8066 Touche brother, though I still get unnerved watching those Mod-vee v-drive hulls fall over when applying the coals as compared to the relative stability of a Flattie or runner or even a Hydro for that matter. Though I do guess they'd be a blast to drive particularly in some chop.
