Here is a poor quality (taken with a Kodak digital camera) video of my first sea trials of my recently completed XP8.

Congrats on the launch, I think the video matches the boat :D

Neat.. those little boats sure can move and look like loads of fun.

I particularly liked the 'wheelie' you pulled at the end there ;)

Nice job!! 28MPH is pretty fast to me in a boat that size, you are braver than I am looking for 50MPH.

Post video if you get there.

That looks like a blast! Thanks for sharing and we will be looking for more in water shots and videos. 8) Don't fret the quality. As they say in fishing, a bad day on the water beats a good day at work anyday! :D

Looks like a ton of fun in a 90 lb hull. CONGRATS!
