Talking Christmas Eve boat ride...VIDEO

Woke up this morning and seen sun was shining! I just had to get the boat out, so I dug it out of the garage, wiped the dust off and took her to the lake. Ran 70.8 on the gps...should've taken some of my crap out and hit 71, lol! Anyway, was a beautiful day, so here's the vid. Merry Christmas!

Now that's a sweet ride!

In the last part of the video, the boat is barely even in the water! I understand that hydrofoils speed up by minimizing the surface contact, so by looking at that vid, the boat must be screaming after it gets on plane and up and out!

I wish I were out having fun instead of working on laying floor in the basement...
