Took the kid out for a boat ride and almost got run over by a jet ski, jet skis stuck on sand bars etc.

First attempt at making a video.

 
Clicked play, saw it was 5:50, clicked stop.

So what you are saying is the intro should be catchy to grab attention?

Or you just can’t watch something of that length normally?
 
The camera was point down to the instrument panel. did not see what happened
 
Your first attempt at making a video eh? Great job Spielberg. You some how managed to capture absolutely nothing that was happening on film

I’ve been having some motor issues with holeshot. So I needed the tach in the video.

For diagnostic reasons.

Yeah more practice is obviously in order.

Should not be surprised the responses on here vs my boating forum are completely opposite.

But I need the criticism to improve.
 
Something like this maybe?



Maybe you could splice the two.


If I wasn’t trying to film the tach the jet ski run in would have been much more interesting.

Or had the camera running when the jet ski drivers got stuck on the sand bar and went flying off them at the sudden stop, that was hilarious and I wish i had that on film.

I'm saying you should edit the video/timestamp it to where it's going to live up to the thread title, not show me a little kid in a spiderman life jacket getting interviewed. I understand that's interesting to you, but for the rest of us, not so much.
 
It was actually me on the jetski.................I was out hunting manatees again :D

That might actually be a good idea actually. Compilation of jet ski fails caught on camera hahahaha

I vaguely remember something about manatees at some point.

But I have a Bullet 20Xdc with a 15” Mercury Pro Max motor.

It rolls out.

On my YouTube channel there are videos of me racing it.

It’s the ones named dsra (Deep South drag race association)

I was 2016 runner up high points champion in the performance bass and ski class.

Mercury is the best motor you can get I had a tohatsu on my last boat. Heres my GTX I rebuilt the supercharger with metal washers and have had it to 78 with plenty of throttle left.
