This is the first of several videos. It will take a few boating sessions to get clips with different fin and / or fang configurations. I'm open to constructive criticism but please keep in mind that getting and editing footage like this is not as hard as it looks, it's a lot harder, for me anyway.

 
Nicely done @Ronnie. That video pretty much says it all.
 
Awesome stuff...and yes....for me at least it takes a ton of time to edit and publish stuff like this! Thanks!
 
@Ronnie - man that was great!!! How much is Jeff @Cobra Jet Steering LLC going to pay you for his next commercial video? :thumbsup:

Excellent selling video. Would you happen to of made a video like that before you added the fins? - for comparison
 
Thanks @Bennie . Jeff isn't paying me cent and I don't expect him to. His products give me a good subject to focus on as I try and improve my videography and video editing skills.

Ironically, I used free music in the video to avoid the copyright notice I get when I post to YouTube. This time it came back as third party content detected so if I don't contest no action required by me but in order to keep the music on the video I had to agree not to monetize it (which I never do anyway) and that the music copyright owner could monetize the video. Kind of jack up in that the video is what I'm trying to promote not the music which is just filler. I would car more if there was money to be made but I don't have enough views on any of my videos so far to trigger any payments from YouTube.
 
I keep trying to view it but it won't load or play . is there a direct link to youtube I can try ? I tried several times but I can't get it to do anything GRRRRRR.
Haa never mind I refreshed the page and the video worked fine, thanks for that video, I can't wait for the high speed off power one with the fins deployed all the way down.

Well hell - I was trying to post the link for you. @Cobra Jet Steering LLC can you hit the YouTube link on the bottom right?
 
Really nice video. Would have been pretty cool if you would do the same maneuvers but with the fins and fangs up and then superimpose that with you other footage. It would really help see just how much of an impact it makes versus stock. I wished I had a drone, they are just so cool!
 
Thanks but I don't see any link ,does it show when the video plays?
On a side note being a stickler for facts and accuracy the steering on his boat is the Ultimate steering not the Magnum steering , the main difference is the Ultimate is selectable meaning it can be set to go up at speed like he showed in this video or it can be set to remain in the water at speed and be adjusted to a variety of depth settings, It is NOT LOCKED DOWN , The spring holds it down in reverse or when the engines are off, this is a good safety feature if your engines stall out because you still have steering, however the main force that keeps the fins down is the water passing over the actuator as it exits the jets. Obviously being spring loaded the fins rise up on impact with a solid object as Evil Sports just demonstrated in his Ooops post https://jetboaters.net/threads/ooops-ran-aground.9406/ . Seems like everything up north is solid granite.
