BTW, from the video, it does not look any faster than 45-50mph.

Title must be misleading

Yes Mr. Adrian


I didn't say I break the world record.. so relax bro..
I just breaking my self records...and it's fun

Guess my title must be misleading

I am not gonna compare to those pro boaters.. anyway... Bare in mind that my all my equipments are far from pro's
you know it if you have detective eyes from the vid.

Peace out

No problem.

Better invest in a GPS system if you wish to break ur own records. At least you will know the accurate units. For me, I use a Garmin Forerunner 101 gps. Cheap and good.

[LuckyLuke]

Good recommendation...

Will try to invest when I can see much faster speed with stability on her..

Right Now no budget

[Adrianli]

If u search for 2nd hand/re-furbished units in ebay or Amazon, it can be as cheap as less than S$100.

[LuckyLuke]

I will take a look at them ...

Thanks for the info

I got a spare n82 with gps may not be good enough

New cheap GPS from Jethobby.




Voltron GPS Data Logger
Small & light weight. Once you turn it on and start recording, it stores the maximum speed and altitude recorded during the flight, distance flown and time flown. Mine came with a small 2S battery, but the production unit can be powered from the receiver.

It looks like an airplane GPS. Is it accurate and safe for boats?

As long as it logs the max speed, it works. Just waterproof it, apply silicone to both ends of the shrink wrap and it should keep the water out of the electronics.
