Re: 1961 Starcraft - 'The whole' story

Thanks guys :D

Joe...did you check out both links? there's a utube link on the last post of page 27...few of us had problems with the original video...and your not behind, your thinking through the next stage ;)


got it!!!!

dang kenny even your video was thought out and well planned, but then i shouldn't have expected less. even the end throwing it back to all the people at Iboats... such class.
kenny enjoy the rest of the boating season ( you have inspired me to get back at it)
what amazes me the most is the joy i get from seeing and reading success stories from people i have never met. i came to this site for info on boat restoring and came away with so much more.
kenny to you and all the others THANK YOU!!!!

Re: 1961 Starcraft - 'The whole' story

by the way HSF your video had a little suspense in it. The part where u were filiming through the rear view mirror then switched to the outside rear view mirror, i thought u were gonna get hit by that red truck!

I give this video 2 thumbs up. It has a rich plot, carefully choreographed action wich were by the way done by the producer himself and like an oriental message parlor,,, a very happy ending.

You only have one thing missing in the beggining HSF. this clip

Re: 1961 Starcraft - 'The whole' story

Thanks guys, I'm still grinning ear to ear :D

Azlo, your a hoot, hate my guts and give two thumbs up, I like the way you think ;)...To be honest I didn't expect that thrill of the red truck, but it sure caught my attention when I played it back...good thing I was holding the camera away from my face, might of had to change my drawers otherwise lol.
Great link, but the copyright police might have something to say if I used it, that or I could possibly lose all the royalties from my 'production' :rolleyes:...and lastly...the happy ending made me shoot my drink thru my nose...thanks :D

Re: 1961 Starcraft - 'The whole' story

Full splash this morning :D
Wow, If I wasn't there, I'd never would of believed it...this baby flies.
Sorry about the shaky video, my friend backed out this morning, and the cameraman that filled in, lacks a lot to be desired :rolleyes: There's sections where my fingers, shirt sleeve, camera strap get in the way, and a few spots where I almost lost the camera and/or control, trying to do/show everything, but all in all, gives a good look...I also didn't get to play with the trim{not enough hands lol} and no gps or speedometer, but after this ride...I'm not complaining :D

Looks great Kenny. I bet it's been many years since that boat has seen such action. Gotta love those JohnnyRude V4s!! Congrats.

Re: 1961 Starcraft - 'The whole' story

Again, great video and another successful splash, with speed included:D You need to bring a camera person along nest time. We need to see the smile on your face as you "Captain" your vessel. Did you use the TM this time? My guess is this splash was to satisfy the need for speed:rolleyes:
We knew she floated, we knew the OB ran....oh yeah, how FAST will it go?
And the tests continue......:p

Thanks Dale, testing....good :D did try the trolling motor, but just long enough to see how it works{sorry no vid} I had to use the starting battery so not much of a test...as to seeing my smiling face, well, it was overcast and folks coming towards me put on their sunglasses ;)

LOL, wide angle :confused:... it's supposed to be a face shot not one of my rear end :D

Besides...when ever I post a mug shot of myself on an open forum, women from all over come scratching at my window, at all hours through-out the night ;)

Re: 1961 Starcraft - 'The whole' story

What? No phone call to be the film'in crew? That hurts :confused: I would've even put a fresh shave and wax on my head for less wind restiance :) Great video Kenny, but not even a woo-hoo from the captain? Think I was more pumped than you! You just need to hang around fat, old & blad guys like myself so you look even better! Seriously, great job on your resto. I've enjoyed following your thread with every comment, opinion and snyde remark. I'll be on the lookout for ya on St. Clair!

Really really happy for you Kenny..I also have enjoyed watching you hit homeruns from my spot on the bench!
