on their boats, if so which mount is best. I'm a little worried about
the suction cup mount coming loose at speed. I suppose you could rig
some kind of tether just in case, but just wondering what has worked best for you guys ?

suction mount is a boss. i use it on my boat and my buggy. never falls off if you put it on right. I did put a foam coozie around the arm of the suction mount just in case it fell off so that it would float.
but ya i put it on my boat all the time.

Hey Tony, thanks for the info & videos. The suction mount looks like it works pretty good.
Do you think it will stay on at 100 mph ? I like the coozie idea.
By the way, are you gonna make the next Big River trip in August ? Have'nt got to meet you yet.
Think we saw your old boat at Isabella a while back but did'nt get a chance to meet up.

Nice video, were you guys using the suction cup mount up on the deck ?
I was also thinking about maybe clamping one of the mounts up on the scoop
to get a bigger picture. Thanks for the replies. :)

I talked to a drag racer one day about go_pro mounts...he said he had one at 180 mph on the wing of his dragster and it stayed

Hey Josh, I suppose that should take care of it.
You gonna be ready for Big River ?

ya i sold the old boat. i have not seen iton the water yet. but he is in this neck of the woods. i would like to see it again.
My suction mount holds on fine at 70. my boat wont do 100 so i dont know. i bet itwould be fine though. i use it on my dunebuggy and that is a hell of a ride sometimes.

I have had the suction cup to well over a hundred on outside windows of drag cars. They vibrate quite a bit on boats, for that I like my helmet mount, your head is a nice stabilizer...

Thanks for all the responses , it seems the suction cup should do it.
We'll see if we can pick one up before Big River.
