    It Must have been fun fighting the chop of Lake Michigan. One day it can be like glass, then the next day you can have 6 to 10' waves. Not too many cats on Michigan it's deep-haul land for a good reason.

    dang at 2:03 were still wedging a block of wood and a socket between the $15,000 blade and lower unit to tighten up the shaft nut. I woulda thought it would have been more technical on a $2,000,000 boat

    • @genefogarty5395
      @genefogarty5395 Před 5 měsíci

      Jet drives are nowhere near as efficient as a prop, so no. Two boats of the same size, weight and HP, the prop boat will be faster. I had a jet boat and loved it, then I got a surface drive prop boat and forgot about the jet, lol.

    Why do the race boats have to start off with their engines in gear?

    • @dannyt9067
      @dannyt9067 Před 7 měsíci +1

      They don’t have a typical transmission that can shift into gear while the engine is running. They use what’s called a “crash box” type trans that is way more reliable but can only shift into gear with engine off.
