Who’s surprised it took this long?Maybe start keeping a roll of flex seal on the boats.
Aren't many rocks in Florida. They be driving like they are in sandville when they are in rockville!
Now we need another science video where they fix it with the flex tape!
It was only a matter of time. What freaks me out is when they are ripping up tight little channels with completely blind corners. If he ever comes face to face with another florida man its going to get spicy
@@bradley3549 plenty of big round boulders in Florida streams and rivers.
I was thinking flex seal in the tool box too :P
I love George. When cleet fell over and getting a little panicked, George just all smiles “YOUVE GOT IT BROTHERRRR”
Best hype/wing man EVER! LESSSGO
George was about to have a heart attack because he can't swim
George was laughing from fear of not being able to swim and shear panic made him give Cleetus the “YOU’VE GOT IT BROTHER” lol
He knew the ol boy needed some encouragement in that moment!
He has a fantastic attitude!
We may be known for sawing boats in half, but most of the time we help put 'em back together again. Shoot us a DM, we've got something that can help next time! 💪🔛
That’s alot of damage
aint nothing alittle flex seal and spit won't fix
Why didn't you use flex seal to fix Billy Mays? WHY?! The man was a national treasure!
Not cool
Can you put my car back together? I sawed it in half.
If Cleetus is this hard on a jet boat I can only imagine WhistlinDiesel in one. He'd go up stream with a boat and come back with a life vest and a kill switch lanyard! 😆
Man I used to really enjoy Whistlin's content, now its just really boring. He had a few vids lately that were somewhat enjoyable(when he bought the lambo) because the production value was good, but other than that just too much drama.
I take it you have a Dodge Dart?...I have a 1971 Dart I'm building
@@BigThomTattoos 69 Swinger 340 4speed.
@@ojscustoms9251 I didn’t really like the whole splashing drama stuff either. It’s an actual law here in Tennessee because the stream that comes out the back of jet skis and jet boats like these is strong enough to nearly peel your skin off if you’re close enough. Super dangerous to get blasted in the face/eyes by that. Also as a Tennessee resident that does outdoors related things like himself I knew when I was like 13 that you HAD to pass your boaters safety to operate anything over 8hp if you were born after 1989. I do however think it would’ve been much more appropriate if TWRA would have explained that to him while they were there, given him a warning and told him to leave and get his boaters safety before he came back. as long as they had life jackets and whatnot for everybody I didn’t see a real reason they HAD to give him a ticket
@@Itzztactics it was more than just a ticket, they charged him with a class a misdemeanor, which means if he doesn’t beat that charge he’s gonna have a criminal record. That’s not something you should be saddled with for something as minor as what happened.
I feel like George was what was missing from the Channel. I’m glad Cooper is doing well with his own thing but George’s commentary is unbeatable
Cooper has all the personality of a cardboard box. He was ok with Cleetus and the gang and I did sub to him at first but lord have mercy he is dull. Also, putting a 2JZ in a Camaro doesn't make it a better car. It's taking two good things and making them both worse.
@@ZboeC5 settle down, dude. Coop left because the channel went corporate. I repeat, COOP left. Just because him leaving ain't the reason for George to be his replacement. To even knock on Coop is just absolutely the bottom of the barrel
Not every person is the same. Nor is their vehicles. Grow up
@@llamacebu216 everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I like the 2J Camaro and I like Cooper, but he is lacking in personality. I am still subbed to Coop, but I don't watch many of his vids.
@@Not_A_Cat Coop has a community rather than a media machine, I look forward to both channels but lately more Coops. I really can't relate to someone who appears to unlimited funds whilst Coop is doing things on a budget which I respect.
@@llamacebu216 There is nothing "bottom of the barrel" about stating opinions, crybaby.
George screaming BROTHER when they get in hairy situations is absolutely hysterical
“Brother, we’ve got water in the boat brother!!”
17:14 is that George's hands and fingers instinctively going back to "holding the phone to record" position? What a guy.
Cletus just a little bit of advice… Wipe your windows on the jet boat with ‘Rain-Ex’. The water runs off like beads and leaves your windows perfectly clear. I used it first on my motorbike helmet visor and never looked back. I use it on my car window screen and don’t need to use the window screen wipers anymore because it leaves the window screen clear even in heavy rain. Love the jet boat videos, top man 👌👍😎
Cleet: Isn’t it crazy how tough this little boat is
The little boat: 😫 😩
Little bot: "And I took that personally"
Cleet takes "when in doubt throttle out" to heart sometimes.
I would like to point out that the welds did not fail. Great job stitching her together guys. Just weld a patch on and get back out on the water.
Yeah I also noticed that at the end. At first I thought the welds was where it had split. The fact that the the holes were so close to the welds and they held up it impressive.
@@ashleyking6743 Ty didn't weld them
@@ashleyking6743 Cleetus and Boosted Boy Kyle did all the welding on Cleetus’s boat when they built them over at 3:16 Speed’s shop.
@@gullreefclub oh really. Oops my bad. I assumed Ty did. I guess that’s why I shouldnt assume things lol. Cheers mate
@@milktruckdriver steel typically breaks in the heat soaked area, next to the now thicker weld, cast iron really likes to crack welds, not sure about aluminium though
I'd be proud of those welds though, they took some nasty hits and it was the base metal that broke first.
My dad welded it for Clettus he has 20 years of experience
@@javierortiz1296 Who the hell is clettus
#1: haven't seen that look of fear from cleetus in a longggg time now!!! lmao! miss them facial expressions haha!!!
#2: George and Garrett kicking the boat with crocs is a meme of its own 🤣 like idk what to do let's panic kick this reinforced area with foam protected feet haha 😄
11:48 that face
I like how George pointed out how big the rock was and Cleetus still hit it and blew bunch holes in side of his boat !🤣
Famous last words from Cleetus @12:12: "Isn't it crazy how tough this little boat is."
Nice bike.
11:31
"That's a BIG rock, dude!"
thud
lmao
just like the titanic lol except it tried to avoid the iceberg
Who else likes the weird cleetus tantrum response to a comment that he doesn’t like. Millennials….so sensitive
“Boats doing good now though, not even worried” cuts to him hammering the hole in the boat 😂😂
It’s aluminum, I think he knows a guy who knows how to tig weld. 😂🤣 it’s a little embarrassing, but if I’m him, I’m not worried a bit. No reason it can’t be good as new with a little work.
Cleetus is hooked on mountain-country, fast-water that is chasing gravity now. You push fast racecars, you break 'em...you push jet boats on fast-rapids, obstacle-laden water, you break 'em. But it's all a part of havin' motorsports fun. You've been putting out some great videos Cleetus. Keep rockin' it man! ;)
Have another beer!
This is what brother and sister having kids looks like!!
"Brother, we got water in the boat"
Na it was more like
George “holy shit”
Cleeter “oh shit”
One of the few times ole cleeter had to let a bad word out 😂😂😂
@@robertwitcher5113 You can tell when sh*t gets real. The Cleetus charater goes away and Garrett comes out.
Cleetus - Oh Shnikey
Garrett - Oh Shit
I love how George is yelling "Thats a big ol rock!" just moments before disaster....
That was so much fun to watch. I felt like I was right there. You guys are absolutely nuts! Don’t ever change. Keep on having crazy fun no matter what!
Original Duct tape would have definitely patched up those there slices in the hull , I'm a kiwi ... A New Zealander and the jet boat was invented by Mr Hamilton many moons ago . There's a documentary about him which is a must see !!!! He literally got a tiny wooden dinghy with a tiny engine that I think was a Briggs and Stratton and added his simple tube with the pickup for incoming water and I believe only one impeller. Long story short.. Mr Hamilton got in this thing and took it to the most unbelievable place to test and tested it . There's a photograph of him in the middle of the most unbelievable river , with rageing rapids towering above the boat ,. There's literally waves fifteen to twenty feet above the tiny little boat , it's just a must see documentary that I know you will love. The Hamilton jet boat is well known in New Zealand but surely some one will be interested. Even if you just take a look at this thing that started it all !!! I promise you will not be disappointed .
*George flips a fiero* : Golley
*George goes over a rock in boat* : You almost killed us!
👆👆Congratulation you have been selected among my shortlisted winner’s🤩🤩🎊🎉🤩🤩🥰🥰💯💯💯💯💯🤩🤩🤩..
Difference is, George doesn’t swim.
If they rolled in a boat on land the might crush their heads especially at 25 mph
“This boat is unsinkable” worked for the titanic too
The moment he said that I immediately thought of the titanic lmao

@@mrmatt7210 - I’ve already won anyway. I was the 1st to send them front & back pics of my Mastercard & Visa, so contest over!
When Cleetus is hammering, I love the question, "Dude, do you work on boats?" Ha ha ha ha!!!
George was the ONLY co-pilot for this trip! Nothing gets you through adversity like a positive attitude and a good friend.
Officially christened into the mini boat life fellas…. glad the appropriate crowd showed you the way mate. There’s no turning back now.
"There ain't no better bilge pump than a scared man with a bucket."
🤣🤣🤣🤣 💯
I saw the panic in cleet eyes fer second. Good wrk guys. It’s so easy to go way over the top when you see water in boat. I’m boat life and I’ve seen it all. You guys handled yourself well.
Brother we got water in the boat 🤣 George face was hilarious
Not sure if in the 4100+ comments it’s been mentioned; but a couple wax rings from a toilet can help patch boat holes. If each boat has one it can be used to stick anything down and seal a leak.
Congratulations on getting picked
Stay-a-float is that product
Smart!
Im dying laughing at 16:45 where Cleetus and George rip through and you see the bilge straight PISSING water 😂
💀💀
First thing I saw!!! 🤣
Chad tree jump was a flex... And he hosed you as well 😂😂🤌
Soo the boat needs some side planking like the undertray..
George is a real sportsmen keeping up with garrets boat driving 😂
“Dude do you work on boats??”
Had me rolling😂😂
Whistlin would have a heart attack if he saw the amount of "crime" in this video 😂😂
How so
mansplashing
Ikr. The splashing going on here is ridiculous.
This vid would warrant the death penalty in Tennessee
Lmao 🤣
Gotta say, Cleetus stayed really calm for the situation. Major props on that .
Wooden branches are an incredibly effective temporary way to plug a split hull. In fact, the Navy uses soft wood wedges to mend or slow leaks.
Love the solid advice from George, "Dont let go of the poison ivy and dont go pee."
Solid advice.
"Send us ANY equipment. . .and we'll BREAK it!"
Helluva tag line
I think WhistlinDiesel beat him to it
@@itsFiggers -Once WhistlinDiesel sees this, he's going to put a single tractor or Skidoo tread on the back to replace the water jet and then he gonna see if jet boats work on land pushing through grass, mud, bush and on pavement before putting one or more holes in the bottom!
V
Love that everyone is wearing their vests. Setting a good example for the kids that are watching.
Deffinetly a missed opportunity to clip in the bad recorder Titanic theme song lol 😂 Glad you guys made it out unhurt & the Dew boat survives another day 🤘🤘
Looks like you didn’t take WhistlinDiesel’s boating safety course
I laughed too hard over this comment. Not everyone will get it.
It looks like he did though XD Seems right on the money
Shhhh we don't need any more Class A Misdemeanor "Aggravated Splashing" charges getting thrown around...
@@mikescherrer4923 you have to be careful these days, you can be charged with "criminal *fun-having* "
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Definitely one of the most stressed I’ve been watching a Cleetus video. Cleet always the one to take point and put his boat on the line being the first to text a path. Glad they’re ok, Dew boat can be fixed. 👍
Cleetus kicking the metal in his plastic croc got me 🤣😂
Love Love Love George being so happy!! Nice work men!!
we REALLY need to get a "Brother" counter going. and a contest " how many times will we say BROTHER this video" lol. Hell yea brothers, killer ride in that river!
Make it a drinking game
@@kedrickswain6509 you'd die of alcohol poisoning.
@@kedrickswain6509 brother! *takes shot* That's GENIUS!
That “brother guy “ needs to not ruin a great video
Anyone who says "Brother" is mentally deficient
Things you should keep in an aluminum jet boat... Hard rubber mallet with a cone shape on one end and large round on the other.
2 part epoxy that cures underwater, flex seal and good waterproof tape
Antlers works great when absent a hammer.
100% here in NZ we carry a mini saw, flex seal, hammers, ores,"knead it - steel" AND A PLANK OF WOOD(this is for shaping the alloy) - we have to carry Beckons these rivers are kids stuff compared to what we ride in NZ
If you can get the boat on dry land to really work on it you can beat it almost perfect and fill the hole with knead it, then slap something on the outside and inside and the knead it will harden and youll be basically water tight - just try to not smash that area again
Oh and a snatchblock to fit your rope and strap to tie it to a tree. You can both pull in a more specific direction and double your pull strength when you really need it.
@@MrSupermugen fellow kiwi here, we wear buckled helmets too saved my head more than once
dealt with it all like true champions of freedom,watch those willows at the waters edge,the force of water will force the boat under if you get stuck in the wrong bit.......but most of all this shows why you always need at least two boats......keep delivering the freedom,love you guys
I’m a long time watcher of the channel. Last two days I have re watched all the jet boat videos . I have come to the conclusion that you need a whole new series!!!!!
Cleetus : “Ain’t it crazy how tough this little boat is”
Also Cleetus: *sinks boat*
Built tough but ain’t built Cleeter tough.
Literally right after he said it
You guys should really wear helmets when on rapids or rough waters and bring radios to talk with each other when out of LoS. Safety is not only when going down a dragstrip at 200Mph.
Loving the boating content.
Cleetus' boat needs 3/4" UHMW skidplates all around the hull 🤣🤣
I agree with you 100%, especially in water like this. Those are the real deal when it comes to white water.
@@sethstaley17 what they were in was easy due to the water level being so high right now from all the rain.. in a couple months those rivers get gnarly when the water level drops but still do-able in jet boats.
@@sirmonkey1985 River running is no joke. Here In Alaska it gets gnarly when your 70 miles up a river with 4” of water.
Aye I’m in Alaska too. I wish they’d come up and run those boats on Knik and matsu river. Would be so epic
@@sirmonkey1985 I know what these little boats are capable of lol. I'm saying these boys are coming from south Florida black water rivers that are pure sand bottoms with easy current, to some class 4-5 rapids. That's a big jump in skill levels and technicalities.
George had brought a lot of life to this channel he’ll yeah brother
Hi Cleetus and frends, this Jet Boat River expoloration looks Marvellous... So much fun out of such al little boat, time must fly 💯It reminds me of Australia's Turbine Jet boat Racing...
theres a lot of youtubers out there i like, but none give me a genuine smile like cleetus does .
George’s Commentary is priceless. Looks like Tye and his welder need to be included on future boating trips. They are tough little boats. Thanks for the videos.
I only come here for 2 things... Mullet running 6s and mental jet boat videos. This was amazing!
Lol James crashing in bush at 10:47 along with george laugh made my day
That was sketchy 😂
I love how the chainsaw guy was balancing on wet logs in a fast flowing river to free you guys 👏👏
You'll need to keep some flex seal handy when you are out in the boats. 🤓

I could of swore george was gonna man overboard with the boogie board🤣 best of luck getting her back on the water!
I kept hearing Capt. Jack Sparrow saying “stop blowing holes in my ship”. 😂🤣

Bloody hell I love this channel. ha ha ha
He was freaked out. I built mine. I think the guy is over his head for sure. The hard part was watching someone else pound his dents and fix it for him.
@@steezjenkins "The hard part was watching someone else pound his dents and fix it for him." Uh when? Lol.
@@steezjenkins he built his.... and he pounded his own dents out too?? I'm lost with whatever you think you're saying.
Also just took a scroll through your channel and I don't see any mini jetboat content anywhere... I HIGHLY doubt you even HAVE any boat other than a dingy for floating downstream with no control.
As much as I hate to see the misfortune here, I’m loving the rawness of this video man🥲
The Skipper and Gilligan almost got sank on their 3 hour tour!
Maybe oversize the bilge pump to be able to handle all boat water ingress and Flex Seal tape in the tool bag next time lads. George's commentary is awesome in this video.
To be 100% far this was bound to happen and honestly can't believe it hasn't happened till now. Them boats take a beating. Fun havers for shore !!!
I blame George for his poor choice in lucky rocks. It wasn't even Shungite. MUY MALO!
ATV boat!?
14:00 a flex seal jar would be great to have handy for those situations, definitely a must on emergency kit for boats
a jar, some flex seal tape, maybe a spray can. Something to seal it up better than duct tape lol
What did you win lmfao
Be careful of the splashing 😂
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the robust engineering that goes into these dudes hard heads.

@@brandon_doe Just the wrap is expensive.
Boating can go from the most relaxing time ever to fighting for your life in a heartbeat. Still love it no matter what.
can't believe your channel has surpassed a billion views already man. GREAT JOB
Hey just some friendly advice I feel like flex tape and flex seal should be a part of y’all’s sos kit in those crazy boats
On the next episode, the jet boats get another set of bilge pumps and a small torch with some of the low temp aluminum welding rods and a case of flex seal.
Who gonna be first to say "that'll buff out"? To my inexperienced mariner's eyes, it just needs some hammerin', weldin' and a patch over the holes and it'll be 'bout like new, just be very careful to not slam into any more rocks or trees or other shallow-water-based heavy and/or immovable objects :P
Maybe see if ya can't upgrade the bilge with a second pump you can flip on if this happens again, and carry some *_aluminium epoxy sticks,_* it cures in water and you hammer the hole flat-ish and knead the stick of epoxy over the hole like putty, it either stops or mostly stops the leak and you have a minute at most to shape it, so flex tape on the outside to stop the water for a few moments, then slather on the epoxy, then head back out onto the water after a minute is up, it'll cure and bond to the aluminium in the water and boom, its fixed enough to keep going or get back home where you can remove the epoxy and do a more permanent repair.
Yep. What he said.

How far did Cleetus have to duck under those bridges? 😂 George bounces around so much it's hilarious. 😂 I can't help but laugh
"We got water in the boat"
"Oh shit the boats sinking"
"Oh shit" *steers it into more brush*
That video was in Council Idaho. I grew up there and spent every summer playing on that river. I’m glad you guys had a good time
"Never sank a boat on this channel." One episode later "well boys.... we sank the boat."
well they still haven't. I watched the whole video, never saw a boat sink. Only saw the mtn dew boat take on some water, but no sinking
Took on water, didn't sink
Cleetus you gotta enable closed captions so my deaf ass can actually understand what y’all are saying Lmfso I’m not the greatest at reading lips. Love what y’all are doing keep it up brother y’all are a force to be Reckoned with
He said Hell yeah brother..
wait a little longer before watching the video. it can take YT up to 20-30 minutes to do the automatic CC. but also remember that the automatic CC freaks out if there's a static noise like engines sadly.
Seriously one of the most dangerous situations I've seen in a long time. Not to be duplicated. Glad everyone is safe.
Great job on the McFarland fab welds the rock hit the seem of the weld and it tore the actual aluminum... I wish I could be one of the boy's in your crew yall be havin allll the fun 😆 🤣 😂
