I love your boat/PWC content. That's actually what got me to this channel, your Sea Ray 215 videos. (I own one) I'm glad I wound up finding your channel because it's honestly one of my favorites on YT. I'm a pretty fair amateur mechanic, and I've learned all sorts of useful tips from your videos. I really enjoy the "Will it run" series too. You, Jen, and Gus have a great thing going with all your channels. Don't ever change, your long format stuff is great 👍🏼
Chris , Are you kidding me ? That’s a fine boat! That’s the cream of the crop in Jon boats ! All aluminum! It’s top of the line! Will hold its value ! You can get top dollar in certain markets! First one I’ve actually seen inboard. You done good my friend! 🎣
Yeah we get a ton of floaters out there! I've hit tree trunks that are 2 ft in diameter floating just beneath the surface. Scary stuff. Sorry to hear you totaled a boat from hitting something. What a bummer.
@@NNKH2 I am down on the Tinicum island end near the airport tons of logs floating. Took 15 years of boating before I hit one bad. Took the outdrive right off the boat. Scary stuff for sure. Luckily I had full insurance on the boat.
@@TheStephenspann27 I was taking on water but fortunately I was meeting a friend at the island and he was able to tow me in and get the boat into the trailer. The outdrive was only attached by the hydraulic hoses.
Jet boats are a blast! You steer with your throttle more than the steering wheel itself. Plus cornering the jet almost helps stick you down to the water when cornering
That's a Cadillac of creek runners. A few things I've learned the hard way. A come along isn't bad to have when you miss a tight turn. Save a little throttle for when a corner gets tighter than expected. That little extra helps eliminate the first problem.
A brushless motor is essentially an alternator so when you back drive it you are creating energy and depending on the electronics it's connected to you could damage something. That being said most modern ESC electronics are designed to handle being back driven like that because the manufacturers know that sort of thing can happen.
A dept. I used to work at had one of these. Awesome River boat able to run up rapids and small waterfalls. Will turn around in the length of the boat. Well built, but really a specialty boat for river and rocky waters.
That is the nicest piece of equipment you have ever purchased ! Sea Ark is the best built hull in mass production. There are a few in the Pacific Northwest that maybe a little more heavy duty but they are even more stupid in price. (Wooldridge)
Hey! Hello Chris and Jen. That's the way to do it, buy it and enjoy it for a little while and then move on to bigger and better things! Good video man !
Fun, quick and easy to watch video Chris. Well done! Hope you, Jen, the baby and Gus are doin well. Anymore updates on the Fury? Keep up the good work! Peace!✌
First time viewer. You got a new subscriber 👍. I’ve been looking for a boat for a few months with a budget of 10 to 20 grand depending on what I found. This might be it. Hopefully I can find a clean used one like you did.
Excellent video Chris :), Jen :), Gus The Dog 🐕, , that boat so cool reminds of Jet Boat Relic or Tug Boat the Persephone of Nick had off the Beachcombers show I know it wild ! Both those boats were so cool too and thought give Lol to Chris!
Perfect boat for duck hunter or inland fisherman. Not for a young and growing family. Hope you did well on it, bulk up that toy cash for something that fits yours and Jen's lifestyle better. Thanks for bringing us along
Dear Chris NNKH 👍👌👏 Congratulations 🎉 for buying, enjoying and selling this very well built quality jet boat. I love inboard engines too and I also like jet drives much better than having a propeller. 2) It seems that with every video I love little blue eyed Gus 💚 more. He's sooo incredibly stinkin' cute. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all 5 ! of you.
Hello Chris, Jen, Gusman and Turbo from Sydney Australia. I liked that Camo inboard boat. We would call it a Bass boat. Bass being a freshwater fish that lives around river trees and snags such as logs. I'm a salt water fisherman. That freshwater fly and lure is a hard game. Peace love and respect John🌏🇦🇺
That's a sweet boat. If you've gotten an exceptional deal, it's going to be a fantastic keeper or a great flip. Jets are sweet since you don't have to fix, tune and replace props. You've also got fantastic shallow area capabilities. No wood or fiberglass is so nice. Replacing floors and should you have to replace stringers you've just sold yourself on this camo'd😊 beauty...
Was this filmed before or after your road trip Chris? anyway nice review and good to see you are out and about enjoying your new boat. Look forward to you accessorising this boat, and insulation the engine cover box and installing cup holders :)
I know nothing about drones but I have always wanted one. Maybe you could do a quick video clip on your drone and what it is , and the cost etc. I'm sure I'm not the only person who would be interested.
Lot of bells and whistles to keep functional on the optimax. When they are running correctly they are great but they can be aggravating bastards when they want to act up. Keep the impeller in good shape and get it reworked if it gets banged up. Jet pumps lose efficiency and cavitate quick when worn.
Interesting boat as I have had quite a few. I prefer mine with a couple cabins, a head and shower, Generator, Heat, and air conditioning, and of course, a galley.
Nice job through scudders but come run it, the wing dam and the Trenton rapids with me (low tide more fun)with our practically dried up section of river right now😂 I’m in a black/silver Rockproof always putting in at Yardley. Love to meet you.
I've been up has the wing them a couple times on my jet ski but not the boat. And I took this through the Trenton section a couple times, all that high Tide though. Maybe see you out there sometime
Wing dam is surprisingly a lot easier than it looks by boat.. Trenton in far worse. Cool thing with the sportjet and tunnel is you can just crawl over everything at just over idle. Pretty sure I saw your boat last week parked up past the ramp on the left. That thing is beautiful! I’ll be out there Sunday for sure and maybe sat too. I’ll keep an eye out for ya!
Really enjoy your videos and your hands on approach to fixing things combined with your adventures! :) Would it be possible to see a video of your experiences and advice using your DJI drone? The videos from the drone really put your adventures into context. Thanx and, looking forward to your new adventures! *(The good, and the bad! ) ;)
Hey man, I appreciate you watching and awesome to hear that you enjoy the videos. I don't have any plans to make drone videos. I figure there are already so many dedicated channels with great content on them!
@@NNKH2 Thanks Chris, no worries ;) I really enjoy your down to earth approach to fixing stuff and life in general! I'm new to drones, and love the new views they record, something I'm going to jump into in The Scottish Highlands. Looking forward to your next videos, Thanks again, cheers, Mike ;)
need a mini jet boat so u can hit all the little hidden waterways nobody else can get to. watch some Cleetus Mcfarland videos on how tough they are, he jumps trees and rocks with them lol
I wasn't a big fan of the camo either but that's what most of these have however after owning it I'm a huge fan. Hides all the scratches, bumps and bruises
You are very informative with card and boats you made me decided after my accident and I lost one of leg you and puddins fab shop where the one who kept me going thanks
Chris your channels are the best on UA-cam. WHEN you blow up, don’t change the videos, keep ‘em real just like they are now !!
I love your boat/PWC content. That's actually what got me to this channel, your Sea Ray 215 videos. (I own one)

"Almost looks like you're pregnant" LOL, I know this clip is old but it's funny to know you guys had no idea yet of what cool surprise was coming up!
@BXtremP. This was only 2 months ago, they knew she was pregnant. They just hadn't announced it yet.
@dannyjamison8337 I'm sure it was an inside joke at the time.
Chris , Are you kidding me ? That’s a fine boat! That’s the cream of the crop in Jon boats ! All aluminum! It’s top of the line! Will hold its value ! You can get top dollar in certain markets! First one I’ve actually seen inboard. You done good my friend! 🎣
Flipping boats and having fun! Good for you and the family! Love the outro music…perfect!
As a guy who has totaled a boat on the Delaware striking a submerged floating tree. I can appreciate the idea of the jet drive.
Yeah we get a ton of floaters out there! I've hit tree trunks that are 2 ft in diameter floating just beneath the surface. Scary stuff. Sorry to hear you totaled a boat from hitting something. What a bummer.
@@NNKH2 I am down on the Tinicum island end near the airport tons of logs floating. Took 15 years of boating before I hit one bad. Took the outdrive right off the boat. Scary stuff for sure. Luckily I had full insurance on the boat.
@@thedelcodavedid the boat stay afloat ?
@@TheStephenspann27 I was taking on water but fortunately I was meeting a friend at the island and he was able to tow me in and get the boat into the trailer. The outdrive was only attached by the hydraulic hoses.
Another awesome video! Everything you post is always so well done... please don't change! Keep up the great work!!
I love the little island grill sessions you and Jen and Gus do. I do this same thing in the sound on the North Carolina coast.
Hey Chris, hope the house hunts going well if your still looking , hope jen and the baby are keeping well :) much love your fan from Ireland ❤🎉
You guys really know how to live your lives. I love the Gus man. Thanks for sharing.
Nice piano touch in the end, Jen, love it 😊
More magnet fishing please! Great idea near the old power plant. Surprised you didn't find anything.
A short but sweet video Chris! Any chance you'll make up NNKH stickers and put 'em up on your merch site soon???
Yeah I should probably get them on there huh.
@@NNKH2 Yup!!!👍👍
You technically have over a million subscribers between your 2 pages congrats man!
Thanks Keith
he has a 3rd also NNKH misc.
@@M.TTT. yeah I know I was just meaning his main 2 but 3rd just adds another 20 thousand so even better lol
@@keithmiller8400 ah, yessir
I live pretty much on the banks of the Susquehanna I've wanted one of these boats forever. Awesome video.
Would definitely be great for the susquehanna!
I love the Susquehanna. Had a camper next to Peach Bottom for years back in the 80’s (Orchard Campground). PECO has nice boat ramps there.
Great drone shots of you both on the water - so enjoyed this episode.
Thanks!
That's a sweet boat! Jet jons are badass
That'll be the best boat you ever owned, they are awesome, hard to find and super sought after
Would have been nice to know the price you bought and sold it for.
Jet boats are a blast! You steer with your throttle more than the steering wheel itself. Plus cornering the jet almost helps stick you down to the water when cornering
18:48 That ship, Genco Enterprise, is just off the coast of Nova Scotia right now - 12.2kn / Heading 49°. Oh yeah, thanks for another awsome video. 👍😊
Can’t wait to see your new house and shop!!
Love that it just has a 200HP Optimax outboard V6. Pretty cool.
Maaan! Your drone work is awesome!! Keep it up for both channels 💪🏼
Thanks! Will do!

Always a fun ride! Keep up the content. Can't wait to the next one.
GUD DECISION ON MOVING ON FROM THAT BOAT.. ALTHOUGH VERY FUN, CAN COST MORE IN THE LONG RUN. BUT GOOD MEMORIES WERE MADE. 😎
A dept. I used to work at had one of these. Awesome River boat able to run up rapids and small waterfalls. Will turn around in the length of the boat. Well built, but really a specialty boat for river and rocky waters.
Hitting outathepark with the drone. Pittsburgh was great as is this one. Thanks for showcasing Philly area water fun.
You’ve stepped up you video skills. This reminded me of a Camaretta production. It should be on your main channel.
Nice job!
That is the nicest piece of equipment you have ever purchased ! Sea Ark is the best built hull in mass production. There are a few in the Pacific Northwest that maybe a little more heavy duty but they are even more stupid in price. (Wooldridge)

Hey! Hello Chris and Jen. That's the way to do it, buy it and enjoy it for a little while and then move on to bigger and better things! Good video man !
thats why i like my pontoon it runs 32 on the water and it goes back in the shallows nice boat you got glad you made some money on it
22:24 Mini train! 👍😊
The shot of Gus in Jen’s sweatshirt cracked me up😂 Another fun video my man.👍
that was cool boat but take the ca$h..always neat pickups,love the magnet fishing..a scrapper at heart ty for sharing
Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Dude that is a very nice boat. I live in Tennessee and fish north Mississippi lakes. These things sell for a premium down here.
Pretty cool , I originally sold that boat , nice review
Another great vid, keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
What A Perfect Cammo Boat! Look at Our Jenn, she is Just “Glowing” with Sunshine!
Great video guys, that boat looks sweet.
I'm with you on the inboards. Always preferred them on the Chesapeake. But everything seams to be going outboard.
Fun, quick and easy to watch video Chris. Well done! Hope you, Jen, the baby and Gus are doin well. Anymore updates on the Fury? Keep up the good work! Peace!✌
Dang.... my 19' Chapparal does 5 gallons per hour at 30mph. I did'nt realize jet drives use that much fuel.
Awesome boat!!!
Whatever you are for your island lunch, you won't have the worry of bears coming to join you!! 😂

would love to have a boat like that. the salvania and duck weed would choke it up though. that sumbitch is very well built
Excellent video Chris :), Jen :), Gus The Dog 🐕, , that boat so cool reminds of Jet Boat Relic or Tug Boat the Persephone of Nick had off the Beachcombers show I know it wild ! Both those boats were so cool too and thought give Lol to Chris!
Hi from Federal Way, WA. Always fun to see your work. Grew up in Bordentown.
It was a pretty cool boat. I’m not into the camo look but hey man, excellent flip good for you. Say hi to Jen for me.
Perfect boat for duck hunter or inland fisherman. Not for a young and growing family. Hope you did well on it, bulk up that toy cash for something that fits yours and Jen's lifestyle better.
Thanks for bringing us along

Just love your's and Jen's channels. You guys know how to live life to the fullest. God bless you both and your baby on the way.
Your videography keeps getting better and better
Triple bubble.... my man! awesome banging these videos out !! cheers dude great video once again

I'm glad you guys got out for a cook out,
And Gus really knows there's a baby on the way.
❤
V6 2Stroke and 200hp sounds quite nice...you can guess the power by how the front seat swivels when you accelerate...
😛
Thx for showing!
👍👍👍
I've been wanting a tunnel haul jet boat forever!! If you still have it I'd be interested in buying it!
You've got to go out further from the dock to magnetic fish! It's most likely been fished out from on the dock. Eddie
Your music ear coming to bear in the closing minutes! Sweet.
Congrats,happy for you guys,
Isn’t the beep no cooling?
Was this filmed before or after your road trip Chris? anyway nice review and good to see you are out and about enjoying your new boat.
Look forward to you accessorising this boat, and insulation the engine cover box and installing cup holders :)
Ohh heck ya!! This is like a dream boat of mine. Soo sick that you got one! Awesome to see something not a junker.
Any and all boat content! I have to do the bellows on my bravo 3 just sad you dont have a video on that haha
Not really into boats, but yep that seems like a good one 😅
I see lots of storage for beer 👍
What drone are you using? The video is amazing
I know nothing about drones but I have always wanted one. Maybe you could do a quick video clip on your drone and what it is , and the cost etc. I'm sure I'm not the only person who would be interested.
Hope with your love of water craft you will keep this SEA ARK...lovely machine
Spoiler Alert!

Sweet boat, gotra love enjoying a toy and then making a quick buck! I'm not sure I'd be able to let it go lol
Interesting boat as I have had quite a few. I prefer mine with a couple cabins, a head and shower, Generator, Heat, and air conditioning, and of course, a galley.
Having alll that is very nice but just really limits where you can go with the boat
@@NNKH2 yes, it does. But it’s nice to have all the amenities when you’re taking a couple week trip on the Hudson river, Erie, and Champlain Canal.
Was waiting for the Gus Master... Love that boy

Nice boat = and camo hides everything= should keep this one
Catch and release baby, my favorite pass time and taking profit along the way is icing on the cake.
UK based fan of your stuff and of IASIP… Next time you’re on the river, pleeease film going under the bridge country Mac jumped off.. lol
that thing'd be sweet in the upper Potomac / =

Should keep the camo boat and sell the other ones!? Gus still needs his own channel!
That is a killer fishing boat.
Impeccable video, you have to let go of some things to pay the bills but sometimes it's a bit sad
i need that intake cleanout setup on my seadoo switch haha.
Very nice boat. Hope you can make a little and the buyer will be lucky also.
need a mini jet boat so u can hit all the little hidden waterways nobody else can get to. watch some Cleetus Mcfarland videos on how tough they are, he jumps trees and rocks with them lol
Yeah I'm actually in the market for one. So pricey though! Been waiting for the right deal to come along. Might take a while
Keep the boat content coming!!
Love you 2 great Americans God bless you brother!!✌️🇺🇲
Chris you should have kept that jet boat. That thing is awesome.
Hate the camo but definitely a very cool boat. Needs a Bimini to keep the sun off ya.
I wasn't a big fan of the camo either but that's what most of these have however after owning it I'm a huge fan. Hides all the scratches, bumps and bruises

More money for the Mustang or Rustang ... Looked like a Fun Boat though and I'm not a boat guy
