I used this video camera http://www.goprocamera.com/ with the "Normal" Lens.

The quality of the little thing is pretty good. The only down side is if you don't have a laptop handy you really don't know what you shot. Their is a viewfinder but in the positions I mounted the camera it would be impossible to look thru it. Next time I'll have a better idea of what I'm really shooting

Awesome videos!!!

I noticed in the first video that I could not see your cavitation plate while you were at WOT. I think that your dealer may have installed your motor on the bottom hole. You may want to raise your motor up a hole or two so when you're on a plane....you can see your cavitation plate.

Thanks

Your somewhat correct, check out the last video 2:50 seconds. You can slightly see the plate. It could go up one more hole, I'm not sure where it is right now. Also my transducer is kicking off a nice spray which is blocking the view. I need to bend some lexan like I did for my Montauk
