Brings back great memories when I was a teenager growing up in southeast Alaska. The 1970s with our old MonArk skiffs with thrashed 50hp mercs and jet pumps.
Hahaha! Can’t help but smile watching this. I’ve been wanting to get a shallow water river boat for a long time. You just convinced me to buy one. Great video man
This is maybe your best video. Very exciting. Made me wanna go grab my boat off the sale yard and hit the water myself. Great action, no wonder you’re so skilled, that’s tough jet boatin!
Really enjoy your video’s! I’m thinking about buying a blazer 1852 SS with the 60/40 mercury jet from black river. Do you think the 60/40 will have enough getup and go for 2 adults and 2 kids? Will mostly use it for shallow water river fishing but also want something that I could take out on the lake on calm days.
In my neighborhood it's always a game of one-upping each other. I'm in first place for the loudest truck with the biggest cam and dead last in the race for the best boat. lol
How far you trimming up to jump the logs? I'm always afraid i'm gonna get hung up. I run a Havoc for reference, pretty stripped. I know, its a lead sled. I did put a tail on it, helps hold it up much shallower.
@@DennisBohannan right on. I seen some spray on a few shots, was guessing you were trimmed out max. Thanks for the reply! Gonna try this out this summer.
Please do a video on what your impeller looks like!!! I run on the Little Missouri River and it gets bad low with logs and gravel but I’ve never seen someone put a poor mercury 60/40 jet thru the abuse y’all are doing!! Lol man that’s wild
No, not that see. When it is like this, it's just too much to jump. I have never ran down on the coast. I know a few guys that do amd they love it. Everyone's spot is a little different though.
Jets are just very easy to get clogged if it’s mossy or lots of stuff it can suck up. My biggest issue is trying to use my boat in the fall to access my bow stands and the ton of leaves floating on the river stops it up about every other bend and you have to stop and rake all the leaves off the grate🤦🏼♂️
@coryboyd7958 havoc are pretty, but I see them as bass boats. Too heavy and not many options. They turn well and run clean. Never been around the other
First Time Seeing Anything Like This Ever👊🏻💥 Smashing That Follow Button And I Now Know Where A Possible Future Investment Might Come In Effect 😁🤙🏻🤙🏻Absolutely Awesome Video 💯👊🏻💥💥❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅
No CZcams, I did not search for this, neither has this ever been a result of videos I've watched before, nor has it been a topic of discussion among any of the "environmental data" that you've overheard me discussing. It was cool though 😂
Nice......brings back memories of pipes, cars, and trees bouncing of the hull
Hands down the best thing I've watched in days on the ole youtube.
Thanks.

Awesome. Those sound like good times
This video is great! I learned a lot about jet drives today that I never knew. They definitely have advantages over props especially in shallow water.
Yes sir! Big time advantages in the shallows my friend! I have a prop driven boat strictly for the lakes and my river boat is jet drive
Hahaha! Can’t help but smile watching this. I’ve been wanting to get a shallow water river boat for a long time. You just convinced me to buy one. Great video man
Awesome, thanks
You will love it! My 150/105 is a beast. These guys are hilarious
This is one of my favorite videos ive seen in a while. already sent it to my friends
Awesome thanks
I never thought I'd see a 700 pound + boat treated like a quad
We get rough with them.
Yea Dennis this is the best one you've made and I've been watching for a while
Heck yeah. Tough on a boat but lots of fun
That's insane how you can drive around this River and not hit a log and tear the motor off that boat crazy skills
Yeah, believe me we have tour stuff up. Not this trip though.
This is maybe your best video. Very exciting. Made me wanna go grab my boat off the sale yard and hit the water myself.
Great action, no wonder you’re so skilled, that’s tough jet boatin!
Yeah, it is a lot of fun. Couldn't do it every day. There is lots of wear on a hull and motor.
Yeah, no doubt, probably takes 3 days to repair one days fun run. But hey, we only live once.
thats sick
We don't need no Stinking Surface Drive!!!😂😂😂 LUVIN it!😊
They struggle here. Especially on the long rock shoals.

One of the boats in this video is an 1852 blazer. It gets the job done.
Looks like fun. I can’t wait until I get the JetSki motor in my 10 foot flat bottom and meet y’all out there. I’m in Bridge city.
You think you could do a video on the trailering set up with a jet? Do you use some kind of transom saver? Thanks
Good idea.
Another killer video buddy
Thanks

Nice!
These videos are what I’m talking about
Do all the jet guys have tunnel hulls? Does it make a big difference?
Most don't. None in this video
Really slows a boat down having a tunnel.
Boys; if the motor ain’t Black, take it back!!!!!!
What are your bottom thickness and coatings on those boats?
All .100 no coating.
How far you trimming up to jump the logs? I'm always afraid i'm gonna get hung up.

Trimmed is as high as I can and stay primmed. Just before log be trimming up as soon as clears trim down to get primmed up
@@DennisBohannan right on. I seen some spray on a few shots, was guessing you were trimmed out max. Thanks for the reply! Gonna try this out this summer.
I’m not sure why I watched this video. I ran jet outboards before these guys were alive!
Awesome, where you run at. The oldest guy on this ride was 47 youngest 28
Dam boys i have to come down n run with you!! You guys know how to rip!
Gets wild
@@DennisBohannan We run the Upper Mississippi among other boney rivers up here too! TX looks like it has some fun rivers bud.
Please do a video on what your impeller looks like!!! I run on the Little Missouri River and it gets bad low with logs and gravel but I’ve never seen someone put a poor mercury 60/40 jet thru the abuse y’all are doing!! Lol man that’s wild
Looks fun as heck
Pretty good Yankee Zephyr
Yall keeps yalls motors locked down or free?
On a tilt and trim, so locked down.
what is a rev limiter ? thanks
The computer of motor keeps the motor from over revving. Happens when the jet isn't primed with water.
@@DennisBohannan I see thanks for your help , nice boat
Anyone ever run tunnel hull prop outboards through that stuff? I hear jets dont do to good down here on the coast with all the vegetation.
No, not that see. When it is like this, it's just too much to jump.
I have never ran down on the coast. I know a few guys that do amd they love it. Everyone's spot is a little different though.

T for Texas.
T for Tree jumpers.
We really wanted to get to that clear cool water at that creek.
How often do you have to replace your impeller?
Almost never. I do swap liners out once a year or so.
@@DennisBohannan what's your opinion on Havoc boats and Lowe roughneck?
@coryboyd7958 havoc are pretty, but I see them as bass boats. Too heavy and not many options. They turn well and run clean. Never been around the other
Please do a video on how you change your 60/40 impeller!! Ever considered going with a stainless impeller?
The mercurys all come with stainless. Also I should make one.
Tunnel hulls? I just got a jet last week this is what im wanting to do. Im in zavalla not far from sabine
No tunnels here.
Dammit man
How often are you fixing your jets?😂😂
Just pump a little grease in after every use. I do have to sharpen and adjust clearance often on impeller.
That just can't be good for a prop but fun to watch
They have jet pumps.
I bet that river is full of flathead catfish!!!
Yeah they were driving the boats!

THANKS. This is type of riding it tough on them, but you want to take any unwanted weight out. Check out the black river videos.
@@DennisBohannan Your Welcome 🤙🏻 I Definitely Know That’s A fact!!
Where this at?
Big sandy
Good thing bout a river like that is no game wardens

Ha. Share it with your friends. Every view and like helps.
Jet boatin’ Mofo 💪🏻😂💪🏻😂💪🏻😂

It was cool though 😂
Glad it found you. Haha
@@DennisBohannan Haha, yeah, well... you do need the views to help you pay for props and lower units 🤣
What size boat?

Anyone looking to buy a new mercury 60/40 with big tiller new.. never used located in Louisville Kentucky...
Plenty folks looking for them. If you Facebook post to texas outboard jets

@@zachwalls4322 I don't blame you. We all be better off without it.
So there is other peolpe like me out there.
O yeah

No not Tyson, maybe a Jake Paul. Haha.

Can't argue with you there.
