DRIFTER_016 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 For those of you wondering the kind of stuff you can do with jet boats similar to the one in ccmt's Alberta Pike thread take a look at these videos. While these are both inboard jets the OB versions can run some pretty skinny water as well. They can run some wicked water in both big and small rivers. Here's a V8 inboard jet on the Payette River in Idaho. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5s1jA9YJlo And here's a small jetboat with a Merc 200 Sport Jet inboard. As you can see they can go through some pretty skinny water. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybxy8N1Ohag&feature=youtu.be
NAW Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 You really gotta pick your line in that first video! Cool vids Drifter. Thanks for posting.
mike rousseau Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 id like to see the bottom of the hull in the second video...
smally21 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 going up the river seems to be a remarkably smooth, controlled ride. coming back down is just controlled mayhem, nothing you can really do but play along.... cool vids man.
DRIFTER_016 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Posted August 13, 2011 id like to see the bottom of the hull in the second video... The boat is built for that kind of abuse. The bottom is 1/4" aluminum and the keel is 3/8". On top of that is 1/2" UMHW sheeting. The things are near bullet proof.
limeyangler Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 Thats awesome! Thanks Drifter...wicked vids...love the second one.

Governator Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 2nd video is pretty amazing, first video I would crap my pants as a passenger. Come to think of it I'd probably crap my pants in the 2nd one as well but enjoy it more.
ccmtcanada Posted August 14, 2011 Report Posted August 14, 2011 The guide I was with said for the river fishing he does its needed...can run it in 3" of water apparently. His hull has been reinforced and can take a beating!
