I've had a blow over in a flat bottom drag boat. At a relatively low speed of 90mph. I was wearing all the proper safety gear including a small chute that slows you down. Broken ribs, broken arm and black and blue all over. My safety gear kept me alive and minimized my injuries. To get into that boat with no equipment is just plain stupid.
I have been 92 mph in a 78 Apollo Jet boat with a big block Chevy, 115 mph in a two seat out board with a 200 hp black max, but I wore a life vest and helmet, once you flip, you're just along for the ride.
Bet the lake front property owners would LOVE that beautiful music about 8am on a Sunday. Should have had Zoomie pipes instead of Headers. Made Everyone's Life more beautiful eh?? LMFAO
Engine is shut down at 2:41 to properly engage V-Drive. Output from engine points to the bow and ties into a V type gearbox with the propeller shaft exiting just in front of the transom. This is a clutch-less drive line. To attempt to engage the V-Drive with the engine running will "crash" the gears and cause damage to them.
I used to race one of these in quarter mile drag boats at the river. This is a 72 or 74 Hondo. They are heavy boats but are built like tanks. Our boat had a 478ci chevy that put out around 750 hp. We ran around 85 in water and I can tell you this, after 60 everything turns into the same second. One big blur. Hell of a lot of fun though.
I think my reply was to a guy beside me asking about "what the water was coming out the side" Most people know it's water cooled, some don't so I answered the question. I'm glad you find Canadians amusing, I'll make more videos for your entertainment. Maybe I'll take my camera to the ice drags and ask if snowmobiles are water cooled from the lake :)
A guy I know who owned a body shop, he had one just like this almost, it's yellow just like this one, but I'm willing to bet that it's faster than this one is, but unfortunately he passed away about 5 years ago. His son and wife runs the business now and I'm sure he still has his boat.
Beautiful boat!! Great video and to see a shovel nose up in Ontario, Many times ive taken my hydro out without wearing life jacket for a short slow scoot on smooth water!!. Not a big deal !! Cant see anywhere in the video where it says A WOT pass!! Haters... give your head a shake. This was a car show... Not a boat race!!
Naw, going by the comments on this page, it looks like anyone that has ever seen one of these things run in person is simply amazed that they aren't wearing helmets et al. Things can go very wrong, very fast, in a very concrete way.
The best part of hiking in the mountains along mountain rivers is that there are no boats. Well, maybe a kayak or two. Those are quiet enough and any yelling associated with them is usually drowned out by the waterfall that inspired the yell. So that's all good.
I remember him when I was a teenager going to Bell High school, he always built the craziest shit. I remember one year he built this chevy wagon with a big block, thing was mental fast.
So sometimes it can be confusing as to what safty gear to bring along for a day on the water, i.e. PFD's, helmet, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, flares, food, water, means of starting a fire, signal mirror, shoes, personnel locator, you get the point. So how do you know what to bring? If you need a parachute you need everything else.
Thank you for all of your concern for everyone. No one cares if you raced or you didn't. Just because you can comment on a post doesn't mean you have too.
Yeah, the guy that said that is a prime candidate for what Lincoln was quoted as saying : "It is better for one to not say anything and be thought an idiot than to open one's mouth and lose all doubt." Something like that. "It's water cooled. Spittin it out there." wow......
Hey Sammy, out of the mouths of babes, obviously you don't know about this kind of boat. They are indeed water cooled. On a Vee drive like this the water gets pulled in from a pickup back at the transom and cycled through the block. No radiator...
"Its water cooled. Spittin' it ewt there." Ahhaahaahahahaha! "Everybody got their cameras ewt, eh?" Ahhaaaaaaaahahahahaha! Ohh my. Canadians are hilarious.
Them boats are cool and nice! Some guys put so much work into them i like them they just have to be v-drive, they lose to much power threw the jet drive!
Paul Langford Yeah cause the turbine is pushing it not a pump with an impeller. With V-Drive you have a propeller doing the work that's why you go so fast! And I seen that boat with a helicopter turbine in it on the Connecticut River run. Go with a 17ft 9 inch Hydrostream V-king with a Mercury 280 and you'll go well into the 100's and have a blast. Or get a tunnel hull with the same motor and go faster!
Prior to June 9th, 2001 I would have thought jumping in a performance boat for a couple of runs quick runs sans helmet and life vest - what could happen, right ? Sadly, I cannot begin to tell you how much I recommend at least a life vest for ANY high speed runs in a boat. At the very least you won't have to search for five days for your friend. Like I did.
+Frode Grunsvold My uncle didn't have a lifejacket: his story was that he would stay with the boat. Unfortunately, the boat was plywood with a big engine and a big hole, so went straight to the bottom.
3 minutes and 25 seconds of my life
I will never get back
Too much time watching people get in the boat and not enough watching the boat run. Gorgeous boat. I wish there was more action.

Wayne Wilkie u
He already blew the hair off the top of his head......... some people never learn, true on the safety gear, no joke.
🤣🤣🤣"Its water cooled" lololol This guy just discovered boats
The pickle forks look good always but the shovels are just plain cool, sweet boat !
Shovel Nose hydros are harder to find also!
Another better looking for sure!
If you have never been on-board one of these no car will ever scare you as much.....
Fast boat and I like the nice touch of those invisible life jackets.
I swear I love watching boats worth more than my house...lol that boat is badass
Yep life vests are very important when you're thrown out the boat and knocked unconscious
So weird just cruising youtube and see my buddy Scott from Canada LOL His boat is SWEET!!
My pops had a drag boat that looked something like that. I believe it was a 1967 Hallcraft Hydroplane. 0-127 in about 7s!
No life vests? Oh, yeah, these guys are real rocket scientists!!
Not your problem is it
This is how Guy Fieri goes fishing! That should be an SNL sketch with Moynihan haha
Gallagher sure got himself some cool toys!!
Blew his hair clean off!
I crossed the road once with no safety equipment on, cars were driving on the road very fast, but I lived to tell the tale!
Eight years later, I was thinking, no safety equipment?!?
I have been 92 mph in a 78 Apollo Jet boat with a big block Chevy, 115 mph in a two seat out board with a 200 hp black max, but I wore a life vest and helmet, once you flip, you're just along for the ride.
man that thing is so fast it blew the hair off that guys head on the dock crazy
That’s just beautiful to watch and even better to listen too, awesome
Bet the lake front property owners would LOVE that beautiful music about 8am on a Sunday. Should have had Zoomie pipes instead of Headers. Made Everyone's Life more beautiful eh?? LMFAO
Scott has all the cool toys. He's an absolute mechanical genius.
Love the rebel flag on the back of the boat. Bet he carries a concealed pistol too.

No helmet, no life-jackets. May get the Darwin award real soon.
Hey if they crash its water its like landing on a Pillow (lol)
1995dresser at that speed its like concrete
1995dresser Wrong. it's like concrete at 100 plus mph
I was about to say the same thing...................

I'm pretty sure he was just being sarcastic.
With that hair, all I could think is "Roads?! Where we're going we don't need roads"

it's a 1969 Sanger 3 point hydro with a 496 chevy and runs 115 mph on gps ..
Looks like we have a bunch of OSHA inspectors commenting here.
Running lean, adjust the bobber valve clockwise 2 degrees
SO??

Ford, Dodge or Chevy it just doesn't matter
There just isn't anything else that sounds as good as a BIG BLOCK v8
Ahhhhhhh it sounds good but it ain’t no Merlin .😏
@@jeffgraham436 merlin or mtu
Absolutely right.They say if you've got a $2.00 brain you wear a $2.00 helmet.No brain,no helmet....simple really!
Beautiful boat!! Great video and to see a shovel nose up in Ontario, Many times ive taken my hydro out without wearing life jacket for a short slow scoot on smooth water!!. Not a big deal !! Cant see anywhere in the video where it says A WOT pass!!
Haters... give your head a shake. This was a car show... Not a boat race!!
Oh, that's all right then.
@@oldgeorge1939 hey george shut up
No helmets no jackets no desire to live
Not your problem is it
I'm a boat guy, and that thing is scary..... Lol. Very cool.
So am I , thing is a death trap
BAD ASS--Thats what in talking about.That can sit in the garage and you could just build on it.Keep making it Badder and Badder.
Bet the neighbors LOVE him.
Living his best life.
"It's water cooled". No shit genius
I guess you don't have to wear a helmet if there's nothing to protect.
😁
😅
Correction........ One is owned by these Toys for Boys. I'm not writing from book read'n.
ERM GUYS, I THINK SOMEONE ATTACHED A BOAT TO THAT ENGINE...
Very high CofG too.
lololol!!! someone attached a boat to that engine!!!!! awesome!!!!!! oh yeah. cool boat too.
I bet the neighbors love it, nice and peaceful...
Who cares
V8 and man is contented:D
Best sound engine ever made!PERIOD
craziest part of this video is NO LIFE JACKETS, let alone proper Lifeline drag jackets...
Or helmets.
Much easier to find the bodies if they're wearing Lifeline jackets and helmets
Naw, going by the comments on this page, it looks like anyone that has ever seen one of these things run in person is simply amazed that they aren't wearing helmets et al. Things can go very wrong, very fast, in a very concrete way.
That's no boat. Thats an engine with a flotation device.
Lmao love the dudes skullet he’s rocking 🤘🏼

I recall a TV show.... It slips my mind though
LMAO at the hair. Ultimate hairdryer!
Scot
Loud, not fast and definitely knew which guy was the driver from the start of the video.
Nothing like a quiet weekend at the lake.....
Wow people chill out. Some people run high 70's low 80's in a bass boat with no helmet.
You had me at the mullet
The General kicks ass! Love the Duke boys, but put on a life jacket if you are going to run a beast like that.
Nice shovel nose... I raced an older Kindsvater in IHBA for a couple years before going with a Curtis ..
What's making your hydro shoot up the rooster tail without the high speed???
Thing sound beautiful.
your right my dad has a boat that is load as hell far away but its not bad inside the boat
The outboards will always beat the big blocks but damn, that sound!
Ya ok guy
What a ridiculous statement 😂 thanks for the laughs
very nice !!! looks like my old boat i had ..mine was blue and white .. i'm guessing that is also a Sanger :)
Thank you for all of your concern for everyone. No one cares if you raced or you didn't. Just because you can comment on a post doesn't mean you have too.
Only IDIOTS go fast in boats without helmets and life vests.......no loss there people just Darwin Hard At Work!
Martin's Tree Works your a pussy
just for reference, about how much do you estimate this boat costs?
NotSoAvgJoe $40,000 is my guess. Just a guess though.
Thats like a rocket powered skateboard. Over the top, but I'm sure its a thrill to ride on.
I swear after a few beers, my canoe is faster.
Wow dude, that cracked me up good haha
it was funny as fuck
***** Awesome sauce is best served room temperature.

I feel asleep after two minutes of idling.
sweet lil drag boat,sounds like a bigblock mopar?
"It's watercooled" Oh really? I thought it was an air cooled V8.

@@jerrydoolittle9747 really jerry...no shit
how long do these engines last?
Till the second it goes upside down in the lake
NICELY DONE
That's good fun for about an hour per year.
you say that, but its wayyyyyy different when you actually own one. You'll be taking it out year round as long as it's not below 50
Been eating beans for a week and this happens. 🥶
When they flip it's a rap
Yea,, end of story .
"Covers a lot of water fast" comment at the end of video is Mr. Forest Gump!
"Its water cooled. Spittin' it ewt there." Ahhaahaahahahaha! "Everybody got their cameras ewt, eh?" Ahhaaaaaaaahahahahaha! Ohh my.
Canadians are hilarious.
to bad on the side it does not say "eat my wake" this is only for the people that have seen the great out doors
Mississippi in Ontario?
No PFD or helmets... love it! "Get me another PBR Jimbob....let's see what she'll do...yeeeehaw!"
I'll put my hydrostream v-king with a mercury 260 against any day!
Them boats are cool and nice! Some guys put so much work into them i like them they just have to be v-drive, they lose to much power threw the jet drive!
+JC B So use a 1200 HP gas turbine, like in the jet marathon on the Waimakariri River. Still get 200 kph (125 mph) plus.
Paul Langford Yeah cause the turbine is pushing it not a pump with an impeller. With V-Drive you have a propeller doing the work that's why you go so fast! And I seen that boat with a helicopter turbine in it on the Connecticut River run. Go with a 17ft 9 inch Hydrostream V-king with a Mercury 280 and you'll go well into the 100's and have a blast.

No chance
I went to the park for a quiet day at the beach then this aye whole shows up
Then go somewhere else bitch
Больше времени отчаливают.Могли бы скоростные качества подробнее показать.
I don't get why someone posts a video of a boat idling along side a dock for most of it.Then they can't hold the camera steady.
cool klingon hair cut right there
mom hats what i want for my birthday!
I had one, the only thing it is good for is going in a straight line fast on smooth water. Also a hole to throw money in.
I don't know what everybody is crying about, they were wearing their seat belts ;-)
yep. American bravery. heck, the Coyote used the same logic when trying to catch the roadrunner
I didn't know the Acme corp. made boats.
God Bless America!!
and all her bad-ass motherf****rs who enjoy the fast-paced lifestyle like this guy!
Skip to 2:45 unless you love watching boats idle by the dock.
I bet the neighbors love this guy; praying for…
Rofl yep its water cooled look at the water coming out..

I've seen enough of these things try to fly like an airplane that there is no way in hell i'd get on one w/o safety equipment on.
No helmet, No lifejacket ???
Bust out another thousand or two !!
this sound awesome
