I was at the Gathering that year. I forget who I rode with. Nickajack Lake and the Tennessee River all the way up to Chattanooga is, in my opinion, one of the best waterways in the nation. ...certainly in Tennessee or North Georgia. I'm pretty sure that the camera boat is Paul Kane's Hot Rod. You can really hear the V-drive whine.

How many knots?

yee-up. no nose bouncing. he's got the bottom, trailing edge straight and sharp.

Hello mate how much is the cost for this

Hello! How much this engine please ?

Why run it without water?

Such a cool boat, it looks as smooth as silk on the water. Really nice lines.

Nice looking boat.

As smooth as could be!

That is a rocket ship! WoooHooo!

I don’t see the Gentry in the Glen-L website

Can't stand so many minutes of someone else having that beautiful a run ... that is one sick boat man!!! Wow. Just Gorgeous!

Hello. Im building a Double Eagle. What about the engine installed in that boat?? Thanks

I'll bet your neighbors hate you lol. But i LOVED the video. Great engine. Grew up with one in a 1960 20 foot Chris Sea Skiff.

hello, i know this video has been up a few years but I was wondering if you ever clocked the top speed of that boat. I acquired a 35hp Evinrude and am now considering building a boat. i am looking for 30+mph and i like the look and size of the flying saucer but if its too slow I might have to consider a flat bottom/aluminum boat. thanks

Holy crap! That little thing takes off. Beautiful work

have you got steped hull?

That sounded WOT to me......

Double Eagle is one of my favorite boats. Look at that thing run!!! Perfect tracking!! Such a good boat!!

Chris Craft never built engines, that's a Chevrolet 283 V8.

I will like to share something with you all. I run a business as a carpenter for different people doing all sorts of things like doors, but I must say building my boat with the help of “my boat plan” gives me such happiness!!! I also have lots [Check Details Here==>t.co/oAK9qlf0ti ] of other hobbies but working on the boat gives me a thrill. Thanks to them.

where is this place？

That ball cap has to be glued on! Boat sure planes out nice, looks balanced and like it just wants to go faster. Outstanding build! Good job on the video, negligible wind noise, motor sounded sweet.

That Gentry is cutting thru the water pretty well TOO!! What engine and drive system is it running..?

There's a Hemi powered Glen-L Missile for sale on eBay. www.ebay.com/itm/172210728920?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

Is that a small block Chevy?

that is a beautiful boat

Beautiful lake! I am definitely going to build a boat at some point. Probably a barrel back.

any good for the sea?

great vids .what fun. thanks

I myself have taken several rides in this boat. This year was the first time I've ridden in it since Paul installed the trim plates typical of so many V-drive boats. Every year and at ever Gathering, this boat just keeps getting better and better.

I'm so sorry we missed you Steve & Sandi! Your boat is beautiful! Wonderful work. Thanks so much Paul for taking this video--great job. I believe this is the first Flying Saucer at our Gatherings!

hope you dont mind I copyed youre engine stand.

13 149 views, my chris craft v8 got like 2 views -.-

Definitely an e-ticket ride! Beautiful boat! See the Glen-L Website at Glen-L dot com for information on the inboard Gentry and 300 other boats you can build!

Very, very nice!

Nice video, Paul....it was very interesting to see how the "Gentry" handles along the water. Thanks for posting this close up view...... Ted

there goes that water pump

@michaelpilot1000 If you look closely, you'll see that the girls are wearing their PFD's. As for the adult, he should know better, but I think he can handle any emergency situations which may arise, They're boating in a protected area, about 10 feet from a dock with 50 or 60 people in the general area.

This was shot with the Canon EOS Rebel T1i DSLR camera which was designed as a digital still camera, so getting really good video footage is difficult with it. This Christmas, we got a dedicated video camera, aka camcorder: the Canon VIXIA HF S200, so next year we should have some better videos!

Gayle Glad you enjoyed the video ! We missed you this year, but we'll make up for it next year ! I think John may have had a 'gotta-build-a-boat' moment on his ride. Has he decided which design he's going to build yet ?? We had a heck of a time shooting enough shake-free material to produce the video. We can truly appreciate Chris Dixon's craft ... Paul

Awesome Paul, but I still prefer a real ride! Gayle

Great Job!! Sounds just like the 283 I've got in my Bel Air!!

sounds sweet

@wrroffey At the time we shot the video, we didn't have a torque tube cover and the engine was on break-in so we didn't spin it more than 5000 RPM. With 12% overdrive and a cupped 12 x 15p 3 blade Nibral prop we registered 30 MPH @ 2000 RPM, 41 MPH @ 3000 RPM, 50 MPH @ 4000 RPM. WOT unknown. Speeds are Livorsi GPS, We'll have some fresh data as soon as we relaunch at the end of August.

Nice, how fast do you figure?

smoothe :)

@slipperymeat Really rough that day and we got swamped by some rather large wakes from bigger boats. Having a deck would have helped ! The bilge pump housing had a crack in it's housing so it couldn't pump that well. About the only issue we had that day. We've replaced the pump since then !

@DieselMechanic09 Glad you enjoyed that ! When we first got the engine, the compression was in the 45 to 100 lb. range and it was on the wrong reverse-rotation firing order. It's still happily powering a Glen-L Monaco !

Unfortunately, it's not for sale ... You can see it running in our' Glen-L Monaco Sea Trial' video. We have two identical Chris-Craft 283 flywheel-forward engines ready to be rebuilt. Contact us through our website's 'Contact Us' page if you're interested in one.
