- Getting out on the Salt fork of the Arkansas River. ran up to the dam at great salt plains lake. There is a lot of water, much more than usual. Weather was not ideal, got rained on couple different times.

Well i live up by paragould Ar. And do alot of fishing on black river and current river and am definitely going to jet this year tiered of beating props and getting to stop and put a spear one on. Great clip. Thanks for sharing with us all.
The current river is a beautiful river to run. I have been on it from Doniphan Missouri.
Dennis Bohannan yep thats not to far from me i put in at reyno in between Pocahontas and corning Ar. Good wallie fishing ther
When in doubt throttle out 🤘🏻
Cool video it's all about having fun
Hey brother, if you mount a one sided pulley/open faced pulley at the rear of your trailer, you can use that winch to pull the boat off the trailer as well. Just run that cable to the pulley and then back up to the front of your boat.
Yeah that's pretty neat, I have actually seen a setup like that.
The rattle of your GoPro has to do with the rubber spacer that the original mounts came with. They get squeezed in between the mount and clasp space. You can get replacement spacers on Amazon.
Awesome rig!
I have the same motor and when is it makes that noise it means something is stuck like weeds in the water intake
Looks fun
On the White River in Ark. we took the jet off when we hit a rock fence in the river
Roller bunks would help alot
Awesome video. Nice boat. What app did you use to capture boat speed on screen?
"when i come back....I'll just hit it hard!' Hell Yeah...Sober He said that!
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot the password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Zachary Alonzo instablaster :)
@Lucas Kellan Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Lucas Kellan it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Zachary Alonzo no problem =)
Aw man, if you winch that thing off of dry ground often, go out and get yourself some Glyde Slicks from Taco Marine. Rip that carpet off those bunks and install their heavy duty Glyde Slicks and you will not have any issues winching that boat up. Just leave the winch connected while backing down some ramps, or you boat might just slide off onto the ramp.
I know you're inland so running carpeted bunks is normal, but that aluminum boat doesn't care. I've owned tin boats for years, and I never carpet the bunks, for 2 reasons. 1) Since there's no gel coat, the carpet isn't needed. 2) Down here along the coast, carpeted bunks tend to hold onto salt from dunking in coastal waters. That salt will set up electrolysis and eat pin holes in the bottom of your tinny.
The slicks are easy to install and cheaper than going the roller route. Love those skinny water boats, your's is dang sweet!
I will look into that. Thanks
You made a mess my man
The odd motor sound id tr impeller cavitating.
Caliber or gatorback bunk covers, should help shallow loading.
Easy on the wildlife brother!
Lol. Yeah they were a little slow getting up. Making birds fly isn't bad for them though.
That thing is sweet.
Sold it last week. New one should be in soon.
how does a jet perform in shallow water when the bottom is soft mud or mud in general and how shallow can you take off from a dead stop with these conditions and curious about vegetation kinda does and don'ts?
asking because of places like Sam Rayburn, Lake Conroe, neches and Angelina rivers, waters around deep east texas
I live near lake fork and run that stretch of Sabine River around Hawkins mostly. How much weight you have will determine take off depth. This boat by myself is less than 2 feet. If bottom is nasty dead leaves and debris and the intake hits bottom it will suck it up and you will have to stop and clean. Once on plan the mud and stuff has little effect. Now the leaves in the fall is another story.
@@DennisBohannan Much appreciated sir
If your run mud a lot buy a mud motor if your bottom is gravel or sand get a jet pretty much the easiest way to explain dos and donts of a jet lol
What type of material is that on your deck? Pickin up my blazer next weekend and want to put something over the front and rear deck. Mine will be sitting outside on my river bank april-november, think that material would hold up?
I used black tip on this boat and over time it sun fades. I now use a grey hydro turf I get from gatortrax. Much better.
Damn I want one
Can you tell me ANYTHING about the fuel burn of this engine?
On my boat I can get 100 miles with 13 gallons safely. That is a light load.
Cool buddy thanks can't find that info anywhere on the web
What boat is that?
Id like this same setup.
Did the boat come with the controls?
It's a Blazer SS
He'll yeah
Is that in Oklahoma
Yes.
Cool video man! How is the .100 gauge hull working out for ya? I'd like to have something similar. Have you knocked any holes in yet?
It has dents, but been rode hard and ran all over the country in all types of water. I did put one hole in it and it was on my home River. Sharp corner and the bank was steep and hard clay rock mixture and it hit right in the bottom corner and broke the welds where they all meet. Didn't have to leave the water immediately, still rode that day but the bilge pump had a work out. Easy cheap fix though.
Thanks a bunch, I think you just sold me on the .100 gauge hull. I'm sure I won't be running mine nearly as hard as you run yours.
@@anthonyglen6674 make sure you get 5052 grade aluminum. Some boat builders use 5005 and it is softer. I definitely recommend a Blazer
Will do, thanks again!
Can you run through heavy silt and sand? Does the sand or dirt get stuck in the motor?
Any idea how big or deep of a whole this will make if idling in place
Thanks
Thanks
I run the red River alot, it is nothing but sand. No issues yet.
As far digging a hole we have held it into the bank and it will erode very quickly.
get a roller set up on the trailer. lower the set up if you can?. and a smaller boat ha. i use a roller trailer on a shallow ramp. the best. blows a bunk trailer away!
haha....Bad Ass!
Turtle wax lux leather on thoe bunks and that boat will slide right off.
D-bo! You still around?
You bet. Who is this? Army?
@DennisBohannan I'm nobody. Just a long time follower. I live along the snake River in Idaho, where you have been thru on numerous occasions.
Had a couple questions for you. Send me a msg maybe? (Got a couple pics). Thanks - hope you're well
25 mph sucks.
I want to get a jet drive, nothing heavier than a 40hp but I guess going jet means scarficing top end.
I feel like with four people though the boat would barely move
It will max out at 31. When hull was new I could run 33. But yes more weight doesn't help the cause. But I have hauled 10 people before. I will try to post link below.

How did yo get the mph gauge on the video
The newer GoPro has that info in the metadata you have to use there app to get it to display. Also my phone has a built in camera with the option to display the mph.
Rite on thanks Boss. By the way that skid at the end had me dieing lol
@@gordonlightfoot1333 I know good thing I missed the Jeep.
I like the theory behind jet outboards but I still prefer props
I miss the top speed, but the prop is very limited when hitting different rivers who knows where.
RichieT5 it all depends where you run
Cannot control a jet at full speed must slow down , let it get back into water, said a man who did every thing wrong 😂
Did I say that in this video. Been a while since I watched it.

Сними видео как рыбу ловишь, привет с России.
Just intentionally trying to bother the birds is a 🤷
The river is 40 foot wide less say. No way around. Do I just wait below them to move on, turn around go home? Naw. They can fly off just like they flew in. They are bird they fly. I didn't ask them to do anything else.
Are you seriously bitching about spooking pelicans off the water like actually
Dude, cool boat. If the local authority sees you bearing down on and trying to grab wildlife like that, you gonna not do that anymore from the fines they dish out for such things. U can do jail time in some states for such. Just saying.
So folks can drive by wildlife in a vehicle all day long and no big deal. Pave roads through middle of natural ecosystems, and I make birds fly and it is illegal. F those rules. That is a retarded society I refuse to live in.
Powering thru a flock of wild birds.
Illagle as hell .
So when a wild buzzard is on the side of the road and you drive by it and it flys up that illegal also. Big fines.
Your suppose to slow down going through the birds . Big fines for gone through like you did.
Well dang. Next time.
You messin up the ecosystem now...
Why because I made a few birds fly? Heaven forbid.
