Offshore racing - Old School the tuff guy way

[boatme]

one of my foavorite all time video from back in the day of TRUE offshore racing

[Brownie]

Love the shots. Cutesy graphics make me want to hurl........

 

[cigdaze]

Gotta agree with Brownie.

That's unwatchable.

But it looks like there's some amazing footage somewhere in the background. I wish it was left alone.

 

[Sea-Dated]

Great footage ruined by an overzealous editor with some crappy software.....

 

[boatme]

Consider when it was done i think it is interesting

long before home editing equiptment

somone back then (a profesional) thought he was being creative

I agree is a bit annoying

 

[DollaBill]

graphics suck but def one of the best and my sons favorite. I promised him I'd name the next boat Wild Boys

 

[Buoy]

I couldn't watch the whole thing.
Wish I could just see the actual footage.

 

[smokeybandit]

I kept waiting for the video to start, but those stupid pages just kept turning. It would be awesome to see the actual footage that disaster was made from.

rip keyboard.

Some how - much of the footage looked familiar ! - Should have left it alone - That's what happens when you have a toy and you want to play - it only drives people away - its like zooming in and out all the time with a home video !

See T2X for all that footage with out all the effects - he has many that are very interesting - including videos from Dubai and Gurensey - some of which have racing with multiple boats close together - not strung out like a string of pearls !

see T2X for all your Christmas needs -

[Tom A.]

Too bad it is unwatchable with all those stupid graphics!

It still is a fun video just to much of the effects you never get a good feel for a clear running shot

I will look up Tx for the original All old school is Good Old school

[boatme]

left out the 2 cause i was told there is only one of you

Rich, how do we get the old stuff from you ? Do you have a site to buy from ????

Do you have the old Grand Haven races (i have some old ones on tape)

I am guessing everything is on CD these days ???

 

[JupiterSunsation]

I would love to see some of these high dollar poker run boats mixed in with this video to see how fast those "old school" boats could run in rough water compared to off the shelf high perfomance stuff of today.

Just watching those two old Scarabs run brings back alot of memories. Gentry's 46 was a mega wave crusher. As you can see.
