  • Powerful jet boats taking on the Class 5 rapids at Devil's Hole on the #Niagara River.
    #whirlpooljetboat #niagarariver #class5 #jetboat #rapids #scania
    These are the new monster engines for the jetboats in 2019:
    "The Freedom Boat engines have arrived! 🌀🌊🚤 The Freedom Boat is powered by Sweden's Scania DI 13-072M Turbo-Diesel Engines. The triple engine configuration, with each engine bringing 670 horsepower to the party, round out the Freedom Boat's total horsepower to 2010 total horsepower! 😱🐎"
    Class V rivers are characterized by a combination of the following: rapids that are turbulent or continuous and span a long distance, steep gradients with abrupt drops, large unpredictable waves, and the presence of holes. Due to the nature of these waters, it is often dangerous to swim in them.

    At the level seen in this video calling that rapid a Class 5 amounts to classification inflation. If you were dropped off at the right place you could run that wave train in an inner tube no problem. If you folks want to see class 5 go watch kayaking video's of the Grand Canyon of the Stikine in British Columbia, Canada. Makes this stuff look like a Sunday afternoon at the local kiddie pool.
