My Dad always told me to look around and pay attention at Family reunions. He said the same people you see this year, may not be here next year. He was right. I see 2 people in this video that have passed away since 2017. Rest In Peace. You may be gone, but you live on in our memories thanks to SharpShooter's videos. Thank you !
Nice green water, don’t get any water in your mouth, nice passes, I see me some good motors, in some really nice boat’s I love this, nice sounds ,thanks BigAl California.
Many, many years ago my dad,Terry Kjeldergaard, raced, at long Beach mostly. He had 2 different Hondo boats. Water skied at Bass Lake, CA every year. Loved your video.
Just goes to show, V drive guys will find any excuse to get together and run their boats, even if it means running them in a sewage treatment pond!! Great video as usual.
Seems that white 501 boat, that was “very mello”, just went. No jumping, no bounce or even nosing up, thing just went to light speed with some sweet noise! I’d kill to get a ride with that dude!
Very cool, as always....even considering the green water LOL. In one shot I thought I saw Keppner's Bad Influence Deaver on the ramp...but I see no video video of him running??
it was good to see Ron Bolton's (mad dog) number 1 spitfire is still around. it was originally numbered K9, with a Gayland Hill big block chevy, w/blown alcohol.
@Vdrivevideo, Thanks for sharing these vids! You're bringin' back many memories for this ol' riverrat! Now That I look back on things , alot of what we were calling "JET" Boats when we were growing up were in reality V-Drive boats. Do they still hold "River Run" races and Ski Races?????
Hi Mike, thanks for watching! Yes, there's many types races and boating events that take place yearly. The next big event is the Route 66 Hot Boat and Custom Car show Feb 23rd at Jack Smith Park in Needles. Boats will be making passes during the show.
im thinkin these supercharfed boats that pulse up and down when ideling have the pressure regulater plumbed in the wrong spot like it should be installed on the return to tank line after carbs or injecters
Yeah, the Fastest and Quickest Maroon Boat and the White #501, ROCK!So radical the engines can't get enough Fuel to Air in at an idle, totally awesome!

The motor is oscillating between a rich and lean condition
wearing a helmet ?? idont think helmet is a good call with these boats the helmet will catch the water like a parachute and break a neck like nothing maybe a super light wiight carbon fiber cap with a snap away laqtch if it digs the water cant call it scarry hobbie hope everybody has good luck
when you hammer down on vdrive thats making big power it will throw a roost before the boat catches up to the prop. my 72 Howard GN will throw a 60-70 foot 7 foot high wall behind it when I lay in it untill I get to about 80.

I could just listen to this for hours. :)
I get tires of music at work and blast this.

@Frotax Frotax No, It's lake Elsinore in California
Seems that white 501 boat, that was “very mello”, just went.
No jumping, no bounce or even nosing up, thing just went to light speed with some sweet noise!
I’d kill to get a ride with that dude!
I AGREE
U know it’s going to be fast when the engine sits higher than the driver
Loved how green that water was must have been one of those lakes they don't fish at anymore just for speed boating
It's a public lake for everybody, but I wouldn't eat any fish out of there.
Great video, I really enjoyed watching. Excellent footage of the baddest shoe in the biz, Mr. Scarlatta.
Man...nothing like open headers, big motors & blowers on the water. Music to my ears
Awesome video, lots of fun wasn't it, envious as hell.
Another memory of mine is the DULCET tones of those Bassani tuned headers!
Just awesome! just luv these boats.
Very cool, as always....even considering the green water LOL. In one shot I thought I saw Keppner's Bad Influence Deaver on the ramp...but I see no video video of him running??
the guy wearing the green helmet bad ass driving man total respect for you that was bad ass love all of you stay safe all of you
it was good to see Ron Bolton's (mad dog) number 1 spitfire is still around. it was originally numbered K9, with a Gayland Hill big block chevy, w/blown alcohol.
That was cool as hell!

I'd take 1 of these over a wakeboard boat
Gatorade lake nationals-awesome boats!
That red one with the wing is straight Nasty!!
High powered drag boats with no helmets. Only in America
Yep, Carlo. Do that in Australia and you will cop $350 for not wearing a helmet on a race boat above 400 horsepower.
Your vid’s are the best Jerry
Thanks Brother!
Dang, that water is green.
Looks like they are in a sewerage farm. Whats with the green water?
Normally green water just means there's a lot of algae
That water looks like pea soup.
i just love love it
does all that GREEN stuff make you go faster
i would guess it's the water color... you know, toxic green... :o)
8:55 you sure can tell a strong runner
Why does this lake have green water. It must be filled with algae.
yeah, great stuff, as usual. true indeed, the 501 is bad ass. but then you got Tony driving it. If I was the passenger, I would have worn a diaper.
Great stuff! You need to get a DJI Phantom drone to get some good aerial footage for us!
Loads of fun without the State Police out to get you. BTW... what is that green water about; It can't be good ?
Looks like a lot of fun,I won't to play,I have a nordic flat and a sanger hydro
Whose that kid with missin teeth....love it bro...missin all mine!!! you get after it bro!!
shouldn't have done the crank bro!!
I hope nobody got any of that water on themselves.
Some of those trim angles looked suspicious
What are the speeds of these boats please?
They're all different
Anyone notice how the slime water cleared up a little after the boats stirred it up some...?:)
Lake smell some more California Lake Elsinore
AWESOME LOVE IT
Those K boats are fast
Is that pee soup and ham....... cuz that’s a great blender you guys are using
what is wrong with the water ,,where is this polluted lake ,youall need to clean up that is horrible
Appears to be serious algae infestation -- yuck!!
Elsinore.
Great
The dude with the lime green helmet has no oil pressure because he just ran the green h2o 500!
Tony's boat flat ass moves
im thinkin these supercharfed boats that pulse up and down when ideling have the pressure regulater plumbed in the wrong spot like it should be installed on the return to tank line after carbs or injecters
lrak nosdunk that up and down idling is just blower surge. Has nothing to do with any regulator
Yeah, the Fastest and Quickest Maroon Boat and the White #501, ROCK!So radical the engines can't get enough Fuel to Air in at an idle, totally awesome!
The motor is oscillating between a rich and lean condition
Where the blown hydro
Tony Scarlotta just a cool guy...
I see the water spray being green (4:00). Where are they boating, in a sewerage pond full of shit?
nothing like green nutrient rich rooster tails...
Kevin Kraft x2
Yeah baby, Hydrosteam Destroyers !
its like put her on the trailer or put me in a grave
algaefest 2017
29.05 fuck yeah
That’s the most disgusting water I’ve ever seen in my life. I would never put that water through my motor
Yuck, thats some green water
nice eh!
lake Elsinore ca
My money's on the Maroon SC (MR throttle the Whole Boat and prop outta the waterwith a High Speed High Pitch prop) over #501 SC, no problem☺
Water looks nasty
wearing a helmet ?? idont think helmet is a good call with these boats the helmet will catch the water like a parachute and break a neck like nothing maybe a super light wiight carbon fiber cap with a snap away laqtch if it digs the water cant call it scarry hobbie hope everybody has good luck
LOL..YOU EVER WATCH DRAG BOAT RACING? HELMETS ARE REQUIRED!! I KNOW THESE WEREN'T RACING, BUT SAFETY 1ST.
Your absolutely right, that's a real concern in powerboat racing.
Flats with rooster tails? Can some one explain this to me? :)
when you hammer down on vdrive thats making big power it will throw a roost before the boat catches up to the prop. my 72 Howard GN will throw a 60-70 foot 7 foot high wall behind it when I lay in it untill I get to about 80.
