Music from Saints of Silence.For more jet boat racing information go to: www.jetboatracing.com and take a look at the page! See ya on the River!
What a lovely way to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of lush countryside and babbling brooks.
that has got to be the coolest form of power boat racing iv ever seen.
JUST ONE TIME...Just ONE..ive been 218 mph in a quarter @8.88 but ONCE I want to ride in one of these river monsters!! Nice job guys!
watching those little hydros run in whitewater is amazing! Those guys have balls of steel!
Why the music???? can't hear the great sound of the motor!!
You got some good points there. These boats are run a race nozzle with no adjustments. Some boats do run a trim plate though. These guys are racing against a clock for the best time. Every now and then you'll get two side by side. The rivers are too narrow to run the whole feild side by side so that is where the clock comes in. The less boat in the water the less drag you have. Usually there is only about 2-3 feet of boat in the water.
So, this is like the WRC of boat racing, right? Rough ground/water surface, purpose built machines, crazy dudes with diamond balls, amazing skills.
The Music is from a band back on the East Coast. The name is Saints of Silence. (S.O.S) The song is titled:
In Motion.
Great video and the music was perfect for this video gets the blood pumping thanks
I actually came back and after a LOOOOONG search found this video again here in 2018, ten years later, because I wanted to get the name of the band.
The music makes this video. Without it, it's just some boats doing laps, but the music ties in some feeling and emotion.
They hit a roller in that turn. Rollers are green waves that don't break like a rapid. You won't see them until it's to late. It caused the boat to pitch and well you saw the rest!
I love watching this and I love the guys who have the balls and skill to take this sport on, cause aint no way in the world I would try it!
just finished rebuilding an old 1950's hydro....cant wait to run it...mark 55 with a quickie lower unit to boot!
This would be one of the best jet boat videos on You Tube if it didnt have the music
I found plans for the little hydro's, can't wait to get started on mine.
the onboard footage is awesome
Their called hydros. You wont find much informtion on our site about them. The boats a are made from sheets of plywood laminated. Their powered by a murcury 6 and high tuned! The racers kneel down inside the cockpit.. They have a hand throttle and a steering whell inside the cockpit. Cool little boats to watch and their speeds are pretty impressive too!
That first boat with the blue lightning looks amazing.
Been there done that on the Salmon River in Idaho and a few in California. Couldn't had more fun.
AMAZING! I love to go fast on water (smooth water)! I have a Donzi with a Blown BBC making around 600 HP the best i have seen is just under 90 mph on GPS and to be hones that seemed pretty darned fast to me and I was alone in the boat, if I have anybody with me I like the 65 mph limit thing can go wrong very fast even at 65 mph!
The HP and level of skill involved in this kind of racing is SO IMPRESSIVE, being able to read the river at 100 mph and be able to put all the data into the knowledge to be successful, I have no experience with water like this but your knowledge of the river and your equipment is truly amazing! Be Safe keep being impressive as hell!
badass vid....We offshore guys think were extreme...WOW...thats very cool stuff!
Dang, that place looks like little more than a large creek in some parts lol! These guys cut real close to the shore, respect! Wouldn't take but a little twitch of the wheel to hit a rock and rip the bottom out of one of those boats! Thanks for the cool video!
Damn. If that's not BAD-ASS! -then what is... Whew~ the sound of those engines alone is intoxicating!!
I miss you guys.... You beat none but one!!!!
In memory of boat 101/201.... Chuck and Scotty
thats awesome! I grew up watching those hydros race!
It looks like they're rock hopping on parts of that river!
crotch rocket engine in the little boats?
those things are wicked it always seems like your flying faster when your on water. probs is the bumpy ride and the cornering you get outta a boat
good vid man
this looks like TOOOO much fun!! I predict the sierra club will sue somebody!
reminds me of a fishing charter I took in Alaska. Running up the Talkeetna, 4 inches of water in a jet boat. Best $60 I ever paid for a thrill ride.
my gosh that song is addicting. and this is the only place i can find it.
Saints of Silence-- In My Head
Not that it matters that the music jams but music we want to hear is those badass V8s.
guys, this is the first time ive seen this crazy stuff, never even been aware of it! Its awesome ! You fellas have balls of steel, the sound of those engines are incredible, she speed on the water is mind blowing... Crikey, I wish I was in America just to see it in real life. Nice one dudes.
I don't know much about these boats, so I can't comment from that pov. But I know a bit more about video cameras.
That looks like a shaking camera with "rolling shutter". Notice that the whole scene is wobbling. The camera scan the scene top to bottom. And as it shakes, it will point in slightly different direction for different parts of the picture.
That makes everything look wobbly.
If the deck flex on top of that? - I can't say.
You can visit the racing site if you want more information were always looking for more racers. We had a few convert from dragracing to jetboats the team in based in Washington state. The link to the forum is located on my channel under my profile information. Go take a look.
I have an older '72 Biesemyer 21' with a 460 bored .30 over, balanced with a big cam that's for sale. It's has a Berkley jet with the roost control. It'll do about 50 with a 100' rooster tail and sitting on a tandem axle trailer. It seats 8.
Good video. Everyone should have the right to risk his/her neck so long as innocent bystanders or the environment aren't damaged. Compliments to the racers and constructors of these boats. These compliments from a sailor who can be frightened at 5 knots. :)
They don't run a prop, they use a jet turbine drive. They can go in stupidly shallow water, are immensely powerful and turn like you wouldn't believe. I drove one (far less powerful than these) at a place in New Zealand's north Island. It's the waterbourne equivalent of Rally driving.
ive bungy jumped hang glided and ride motocross bikes up mts with death defying drops but you couldnt drag me onto one of those boats ...that is sick!
i get scared driving my boat in 4ft of water let alone you doing it in a few inches or less lol.... badass!
You might want to look at a Tunnel Hull. The drive like sports cars and you have the horses to push it. There are a few used race tunnel hulls for sale at the eagle site. If not that at least get something with a step to get on plane a hell of lot faster!!
You'll hear them let off the throttle when the go into a tight turn to drop the bow slightly. Once the boat begans to hook and turn the punch it! This allows the to power out and sustain their speed. These boats will actually drift around a corner. Most of the bottoms of these boats are tunnels. They don't have a standard bottom on them, they also have what are called steps, It allows the water to break of the bottom of the boat fast for hole shots.
Gotta love any boat that has a roll cage!
Those are Hydros their made out of two sheets of plywood. They run outboards with props and the guys kneel inside them. Their throttles are hand levers. They'll run in the eighties too. that's MPH.
Well if you got time our first official race starts in April. It's in Riggins Idaho 3rd weekend. Would be a great opportunity to rub elbows with the drivers at get a close look at their ste ups. If not there is also a race in Hoopa California I believe it's May 13-14.
@ skiendog we have a link on our webpage if you can't find the song. We posted it under royaltyfree music section.
Haha I love your "Not All Boats Are Created Equal!!!!!!!''
lol at the tree huggers, we will take your pristine enviroment and race big block v8 powerd boats through it
There basically used during a long stretch of river when the motor can be wound up. The foil does tend to work on the straights, But believe me I've seen quite a few get torn off during the sections of whitewater. I see a lot of the on the bigger boats with extreme top end speed. The boats tend to get in the high 90's to low 100 in the straights.
If I were a fish I would have a headache in that river, lol...
LOL the music is probably the posters band
Holy shit this looks like an outrageous amount of fun, I would love to try this one day.
@btownmxer If we used props yes! The only boats using props are the little hydros.
I feel it should be said. The music ruined this video. Just in case you haven't heard yet.
Ponies and boats... yay. Combine the two, and the result is absolut fun. Now put shitty music on top, and all is ruined :(
Nothing like a 20 foot ROOSTER TAIL!!!
Turn OFF the "music" so we can HEAR THE BOATS!! PLEASE!!
jet boats are sick. they can cruise in 5 inch of water
Hey great video Chris 5*****, this one will hit 1,000,000 soon
AWSOME vid...but agree with sketnomore leave the engine sounds to do the talkin...they sound amazing!
looks like a blast
I can't stop watching this vid. Wicked good fun!
pmbbike said it, you got one of the greatest sounds on Earth.... those motors and you covered them up with a grunge-rock song, not good....not good at all! *smurk*
'I need more jetboat.... I gotta have more jetboat baby', lol
later =o]
@unicycle44 Those are Cal-Ore Hydros the run a 4 cyclinder 2 stroke mercury.
SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!! I woulda been pissed if I was fishing there though LOL
The first yellow boat, looks like it is only using two inches of water!
@kuxcom depends on which class your willing to run. 25,000-over 100k. Some motors are running 25,000.00 USD.
@wfw5607 What kind of jet unit are you running? Berkley,American Turbine,or Hamilton? All of the racers run the single stage American Tubine single stage pump. The impellers range from an A- to a B impeller.
These guys look fing crazy!!!
... I wanna go for a ride Muhaha!
Depending on the class you choose they range from 65-135MPH.
you know. virtual sailor has a couple river boats in it. skater 46 is my favorite. 140 knots, or 185 miles per hour (i think).
...the most awesome kiwi invention ever
How are the outboards protected from the rocks , the stabilizer fins must be made of armor plate steel ?!
This is riding the line of life. in-fucking-sane!
Just wondering... What is the depth of water the bigger jets are running in!?
Not a big fan of boats but would absolutely LOVE to take a ride on one of these babies or own one. I love going fast but the fastest I've ever been on the water is about 20 mph and on land about 161 mph.
Why do people insist on ruining a perfectly good video with dumb-assed background noise?
Totally right!!! If you want music, you go to a music vid. If you want awesome engine sounds, you try something like this clip, but get BS music to go with it. Soooooo annoying to have to watch these boats with the sound off!!
Awesome clip, looks like fun.
@racing16 Many thanks, I will do some more looking. Great boat.
thanks! cool by the way, i have a 48' viking, so i thought it would be a prop,
Roughly around 115 mph in the straights to around 55-70 Mph in the corners.
who makes these boats....i must have one...look like more fun than my jet boat because these turn mad fast
great, love does boats.
does someone know what are the little waverunner like boats called?
with the two long pipes, they look almost like pulse jets. insanely noisy like a pulse jet too.
lol why do i get this feeling that one of them is gonna fly when they go fast enough...
Unbelievable! The boats ride the river like cars the track!
those outboard hydros...wat kind of engines are they running?
no way man !!! rocks are so good for a boat LMAO :)
whats the clearanc underneath those bad boys for the prop? nice vid, by the way
I wanna take a ride on one now!
all boats are equal!!! BANG!!!!!
haha can you feel the adrenaline when he fires up 277
What kind of horses are you running?
isnt the other side of that mountain the hollywood sign?
@Similarx They are Cal-Ore Hydros.
awsome keep making the good videos
I thought Kalifornia outlawed assault boats?
Great video. Ditch the music though because I'd rather just hear the engines.
Why is everyone hating on the music? You can barely hear it whenever engines are running
Hungry from Saints of silence
the sea fleas are so cool
this is real boat racing
Love it!
