New Impulse, First Shots

[nickB722]

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.

Nice Pics !

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!

Kinda off topic but what camera do you have? Great pics by the way

Great photos! i wish i had some of mine that looked that good! This boat is a blast to drive, she can turn on a dime! and is always fun to get alittle air under it!

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.

Wow! Nice shot of the hull out of the water!
