    New Impulse, First Shots

    Hey guys, here's a few shots from a few quick test/adjustment runs of my Impulse 31 this afternoon evening. Unfortunately I was behind the wheel rather than behind the camera and the shots aren't the best.


    Catching air on a passing full size boat's wake.






    Thanks for looking, I hope to have more/higher quality soon.

      I thought they were pretty good! Boat looks a little wet in the last one and pretty dry in the second one...

        I love it. I have a FE Cat and really want a fast mono. This looks really nice, how is the maneuverability?

          Jesse,

          I haven't done too much tuning (tabs are about even with the bottom, strut is essentially level), and the shots seem to indicate that she's riding pretty good as a whole. Obviously this is just a small mix of what I got out of the camera. I do agree it's rather dry in #2, though a few instants after that she got very wet (first stuff on the boat), but just blasted through and kept going.

          As for maneuverability, I haven't really pushed her too hard yet, that said, there's been no surprises or bad reactions so far. I'd recommend the Impluse in a heartbeat!

                Thanks for the kind words guys, and yes, the Impulse is a blast to drive to say the least, I wish my LHS had another 5100 mah battery in stock so I didn't have to wait so long between runs.

                Those were taken with a Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D with a 75-300 f4-5.6 lens. With any luck, I'll have a bunch more shots and some videos after the holiday week/weekend!

                By the way, there's about 20 more shots in my other thread from the next day. More action shots though not in the "golden hour" before sunset.
