- We head down to Atlanta to meet up with @FinnegansGarage and go for a ride in his twin turbo Sonny Leonard-powered jet boat! First we have to get it all fixed up (the jet drive needed replacing) and then it's time to hit the lake. But do we have enough gas in the tanks? Hmmmm...

"We're sinking and out of gas"... Finnegan's whole life is an episode of Roadkill!
And if anyone says they make that crap up on roadkill, I just send them to Finnegans channel to see that it really is his life
I love how anyone who hangs out with Finnegan gets the roadkill experience
😂😂😂
Its a lifestyle not a show
@@captaintoyota3171 👍
I like Tom, I found his channel from Cleetus McFarland's channel. He really seems like a solid dude & I'm now hooked on his videos.
Same.
Same here, then I found out he's the true legend in the sport. Also he doesn't even need eye protection at 100 miles an hour in a race boat. ✌🏼
"Not that there's anything wrong with your boat besides the fact that its slow and sucks but..."
-Mike Finnegan 2021
Ow my feelings...
Hey respect your elders and be nice to them
It's still a cool boat. Sure he can put a propeller ND go faster but that boat can do 180s in the water ND go in real shallow water that props can't get into ND the jet pump is more safe around swimmers. Speed isn't everything this thing can also turn on a dime. Check out sprinter boats they pretty bad ass. Jets are way more fun then props. Maybe u should build a better boat
@@jackdaniels2657 apparently you and "Issac Daniels" didnt read my full comment.... im quoting what Finnegan said in the video to Tom.
@@LowKeyIdiots That would require these people to be competent.
If it can make Tom Bailey crack a smile, you know it's rolling out hard.
Give the guy some credit. I think he will find a lot of cars and boats fun even though they might not be as fast as Sick Sec 2.0 or Game Over.
After dealing with Fire Mr. Bailey decided to deal with Water. 👍
Not sure its a better choice though...
@@sickthemag agreed. Fire isn't an issue, but that 100mph innama sucks.
@@sickthemag Fire...check. Water....check. It's time to finish strong with EARTH and AIR, so a Baja Trophy Truck run and a sketchy plane flight ;)
That's the truth 😄
Tom and Mike probably some of the coolest down to earth humans you can have the pleasure of meeting!
A jet boat most definitely DOES NOT pull itself forward! In fact, the defector off the back of the drive proves that... when the defector is down to spool the turbos, all the force of the jet is pushed equally out both sides and the boat sits still... if the intake of the drive was "pulling the boat" it would launch forward when he tries to spool the turbos. Also, the drive sucks water UP into the drive, so the boat would actually get pulled down into the water, not forward!
Mike is a hell of a good host he really takes good care of his guest and goes the extra mile you don't see many people like that anymore!
He's just a hell of a man, he treats everyone he comes across with total respect and has time for everyone. Two totally down to earth dudes having a laugh in a beast of a boat, what's not to like.
It was funny when Tom grabbed for something on the pull, think I would probably have closed my eyes and crapped my pants tbh lol.
Mike is the kinda of guy that I would want as my wife's boyfriend so that I could have access to his toys. At this point in life, it seems fair.
When your face gets speed wrinkles you know your having fun. Mission accomplished.👍
That was fun to watch, great video!!!
Tom, two things:-)
One, you really need to make Mr. Finnegan get an SMX for his Caddy.
Two, you REALLY need to have Steve make you a NASTY 14-71 blown SMX for your own jetboat.
Sonny Leonard was a great man and engine builder. I enjoyed working for him. I wish he got to ride in the boat before he passed.
That's one way to try to get a ride LOL
That is 10 times better than watching anything on TV. It sounds like you could have a CZcams series.
Tom regrets not bringing glasses when they were on the water and the rain was hitting toms eyes
For sure!!!
I water skied in the rain years ago. It stinking’ stings!
Rookie move
@@danmyers9372 without a dry suit your screwed 😂😂
You know it! Rain drops hurt at speed!
Good times! Those boats would be like nitro powered snowmobiles, there’s no reason for it, but damn it’s a hell a lot of fun.
Your beard flattening out is hilarious! Good times.
Classic
Like when the Barber asked. You want your split in the middle, the left or right side.
We'll see what the wind says, I guess !
OK - I'm no rocket scientist, but the description of how a jet boat works is not correct. Jet boats (like, well, jet aircraft and rockets) work on the principle of reaction - Newton's third law of motion. The pump forces mass (water, in this case) toward the rear of the boat at a high speed - the boat moves forward in reaction to that mass being sent the opposite direction at high speed. Here's a thought experiment for those who think that the boat is "pulling" through the water: imagine that the pump inlet is fed by a big water tank mounted ON THE BOAT. If the primary propulsion was from "pull", then the boat would never move. However, I guarantee that, in fact, the boat will be propelled forward very rapidly. A normal non-jet boat "screws" itself through the water by coupling engine power via the propeller blades, but a jet-boat relies on the reaction of the water expelled, just like a rocket relies on the thrust developed by expelling hot gases from the rocket nozzle.
Love the channel Tom, keep it up!
Glad you enjoy it!
In the early 80's I had a flatty v-drive with an alcohol LS7. We were camping on a river and making some passes when a group.of older gents came to the dock to watch. They'd been tipping a few back already and they started chidding one of the guys about "guts" enough to go for a ride. So I gave him a short run hitting maybe 85-90 mph or so. His eyes were huge by the time we got back. When he stepped in the seat to get out all his buddies busted out laughing. Seems he had sprung a leak while we were out. That seat cushion was never the same. We used to say you weren't a man till you went 100 on a flat bottom. That was before runner bottoms or wings. If you did it right she would dance, if not she'd bite you hard.
"by the time you're ready to grab something it's too late"
hahahaha on ya Mike
In 1978 I had a 21 foot jet boat! It only had a 460 Ford with a cam and 650 double pumper and Excel dual point distributor. That boat scared the crap out of me all the time! It was a blast to drive! I feel my top speed was about 60 but even 60 feels like 100! the best I did pulling water skiers was 8 at one time. It had the old Berkley pump!
Fast jet boats give you a whole new aspect of and respect for speed! Awesome to see you guys out enjoying the water!
That is one of the most American Badassery contraptions I have ever seen
Game Over is a cold hearted, slow to wake up wild child.
Reminds me of my wife...:)
By the look of it, you could have made it back to shore on the starter alone. That boat is a monster.
This boat ride has been too long coming. Tom Bailey needed this!!
I always thought Tom was a jerk, from other videos I've seen him in... but he actually seems like a cool guy... and shows how easy it is to get the wrong impression about people on CZcams.
It's probably because he comes off non chalant because he's serious.
I totally agree...that dude seems like a douche. He always seems "self consumed". maybe after this video he will let his shit be real. FUCK WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE! BREAKDOWN WITH FINNEGAN!!! REAL SHIT!
Pirates cove!! Love all the boats there!! You will fit right in!! Allot of squirt & vdrives! Love going in October no crowd
That boat is just sick, its off its chops, love it....
I`ve seen this episode five times and i love everytime,love you guys!
What a video! Tom deffinatley needs a sick seconds boat lol. Stuff a Steve Morris engine in a new boat and go absolutley ham with finnegan! That would be so cool to watch the build and ripping it. A matching boat to tow with the camaro!
Hmmm ideas...
@@sickthemag Sick 4.0
I think that boat is kickass and Tom and Finnegan do too. Always go fast
Finnegan could at least put some decent seats in that thing, both of you guys made those seats look tiny like they were made for kids, those are "pleasure boat" seats. I know you don't want seat belts, but he could have a nice racing type seat that would hold you better, it's easier than you think to get tossed out of a boat. My Dad spun out his 16ft hydroplane with prop/rudder, when a roll pin sheared on the steering mechanism on the rudder. it broke as he was doing a hard turn under power, spun the boat out, did a complete 360 and almost got thrown out.
We learned a lesson that day, cause we didn't have another boat there on the lake to go out and drag him in, my Dad had to lay on the bow of the boat and paddle with his hands, took him quite a while to get the boat close enough to shore to throw him a rope, the lesson we learned is, you should never play with a boat without having another boat there in case of emergency.
@5:39 the 'KEY' word was SHOULD,,, however, we know pro pilots who drive those incredible T/F boats do EVERYTHING RIGHT and even they sometimes are launched out of their boats at the speeds Mike mentions. Only a few did not survive the impact on water that is like concrete but we can bet even the survivors felt the effects for many, many months afterward.
Not a boat guy but when she gets up on plane it is sure pretty! Thanks for sharing Tom!
Rapidly becoming one of my favorite channels ! Great content like usual
Awesome, thank you!
Jet drives move the boat by differential pressure. Low in front where the water is coming from. High in back where it’s getting squeezed and sped up.
Great Stuff Tom!!!
Cleetus went out on the boat with Finny about a year ago. His reactions were priceless.
@@300zxdriver it was this boat
@@jessecoc6247 You are correct. I thought it was different.
This was great, seeing these two together
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful boat! 😍
Another great video 👍
Didn't see this coming, thanks for taking us along for the ride sir, it was awesome.
Your right Cameron great video . Love it .
You know finnegans crazy when he has a bigger motor than a 5 second promod car
My god that boat is obviously nuts when Tom has a huge smile durning those launches
hahahahahaha hilarious intro moment. It's not often in life you get to make Tom Bailey a bit nervous, so this was fun to see. Finnegan is a blast
Damn it man Finnegan couldn't catch a break. He was right about getting a smile out of you. I cant believe he didnt let you drive it though.
This thing is just such a beast!!!
Love this stuff tom, glad I subd
freaking awesome video!!
If the jet boat ''pulled'' itself through the water and it would ''still go forward with the nozzle pointed straight up'' your ''neutral'' diverter wouldn't work. I think Finnegan needs to review Newtons third law of motion and ponder just exactly why they call it a ''jet'' boat.
Agreed. Fun video regardless.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I watched this video a few days ago and came back to finish my post about steering that wasn't here anymore. By his theory a jet boat must have a steerable intake
Finnegans garage feel free to explain
Definitely coolest jet boat out there and it fly’s and handle like it on rails
I am enjoying the collaboration... and cleeter... all builders hanging out ...
Yall guys are hilarious!!! Awesome video
Mr. Bailey doesn't get scared just he forces fear to cooperate with him.
corporate? "cooperate"
Great content thanks for sharing
Man in winter I’d love to see him pull the motor and dyno it !!!
Heck yeah rock on
Man, I smiled all the way through this video lol
I know some about jet boats and Finn,s description is spot on. No push ALL pull. Right now.
That, along with Mikes explanation of pull, not push doesn't match up with his explanation of the jet tip for staging. If it is all pull, then why does the boat not move when the water pushes to the sides, even though it is still pulling?
He is is actually incorrect...for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction...the jet nozzle produces thrust which drives the boat in what ever direction it is pointing...otherwise how would you ever steer...the propulsion has ZERO to do with the suction...Ive saw him say this on his vids too and I was cringing because he was leading people the wrong way...
I'm watching this video with captions on and everytime the engine rpm's up it says [Music]..
and I have to agree.
Beautiful Music 😁
ohhhhh Steve???? I am going to need an engine for my boat.... I can see it now, SickSecondsH20
Might have to steel that boat name!!!
@@sickthemag YOU ARE WELCOME TO IT!
Very entertaining!! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for subscribing.
Man that sounds sweet.
Not there’s anything wrong with your current boat...there isn’t... it’s just slow, it sucks 🤣
Finnegan is totally the friend that helps spend your 💵
Sounds like your boat needs some Steve Morris love Tom!
That boat is dope
Awesome video Tom !!
Glad you enjoyed it
Crazy guys!!!!
This was great!!!🤟
Now, yall have me missing the lake and my old Baja. Nothing better than the lake with a good running craft and a pocket full of cash.
BOAT= Bust out another Thousand !lol
Be Safe if Possible !
Whats also nice about a jet boat is, if you have a good battery you can just crank it back to shore. Same difference with a manual without the neutral safety switch.
Thank you Tom. Subscribed.
Good on ya Mike,. When you can give Tom something to think about, you know you have done your job. Personally, I've been along for the ride on a supercharged seadoo, and those are terrifying.
I love the way you promote safe boating You're invisible life jackets are really cool
don't have to wear them. just have them on boat.
What a nice jet powered surf board 🤙🏻
Awesome video
Great video Tom and its great to see experienced guys in the drag racing community help other drivers out when it comes to safety. Did your recent experience give you more of a push to help others understand the safety measures that needs to be in these cars?
Thank you for your wisdom
Awesome
Nice boat set up
That's a nice motor and boat.
Love the caddy
On the water without safety equipment - Love it
Too much fun Boys!
That’s a hell of a boat
Just subscribed. Love the content. Mental health is the most important thing. Don't be afraid to talk about it with others. Talk about what's going on with you and open up.
Great video!
Thanks for being a subscriber!
So at the beginning he said it's the suction that drives the boat forward then at 11:35 he says that nozzle acts like neutral and you can spool it up. If that's the case it's the thrust out the back that's driving the boat forward which I would expect it's both.
That would be awesome to see those guys pull Game Over with Sick Seconds 2.0 and go on a road trip
Man fin, your absolutely a mad scientist when it comes to horsepower-
Tom say's hey Steve we need a new jet boat motor ASAP!!! Can you imagine being pulled behind that boat on a tube... keep up the great content Tom.
Thanks for being a subscriber!
AWESOME = WOW=Thanks
@Finnegan'sGarage, it's as if you guys (you and Freiburger for sure) have had improv lessons. The one-liners you two come up with on the spot are unreal! "We're sinking and we're out of gas"
Great video 👍🇺🇲👍
epic video
This is great..I saw y'all pulling that boat down the boat ramp..( Jerry's daughter) thanks for the cane poles!
Hell yea! when you guys come west give us all a heads up! we LIVE on the lower river (martinez/hiddenshores/fishers) would love to see you guys! best time is the summer or Power Tour!
