That was an exciting run up the river. You have to pick a spot, aim and gun it. The Jet Boat rides so much better than when you first got it. I remember it used to plow the bow and launch a huge bow wave. Now it is dialed in, it goes on plane beautifully.
I've kayak-fished just about all that area of the Potomac and I can say that if you don't know what you are doing stick to the C&O walking trail for your Potomac experience.
What was the recorded water level? The horseback riffles above Snyder’s Landing are no joke. I ran my outboard jet from Shepherdstown up to the horseback’s on Sunday. The river is LOW LOW.
Odd question Beau, do you ever suffer from forest fires in and around all this treed land? Or is it a very high moisture area as in rain, etc? I never seem to hear of fires in the NE as much as western US.
There is a ghost you caught on video as you come around to bridge at 3:58 on video zoom in and watch the two small boats go across river to the left part of river there transparent .
On this run, the rocks flew by under the boat, but I made it! I hope you enjoy the ride.
Jst watched you at wharick castle good job chigg..awsome show it was
Yeah Chig, that's spooky seeing that, then I remembered that I'm not in the boat, plus you posted the video so obviously you made it back.
What depth does she draw ?
What a beautiful ride down the river! I'm surprised more people are not enjoying it, hardly saw another soul.
What a beautiful historic river. You’re fortunate to get to enjoy it like you do. We’re fortunate to view the videos. Thanks.
Thanks for the ride. 😊

Hey that was a pretty good ride and I didn't even get any bugs in my teeth🙂
lol... I did.
That was a sweet ride we went on.
Beautiful day for a ride on the River, Thanks Chigg
Loved the ride man! You can read that river like a book! Thank you:)
Would be fun magnet fishing under that old abandoned bridge.
Wow what a cool little ride
Definitely a fun ride!!!; )
Great fun as always Chigg!
Thanks for the boat ride Chigg! Enjoy watching your great outdoor adventures!
Chig, you are so sassy. We all love your fast boat rides up river!
Thank you for letting us know about the bridge parts. Loved the video by the way.
Mahalo Chigg! No rivers like that in Hawaii nei.
Just did a jet boat ride on the Niagara Falls Rapids ! Can’t let Chiggs have ALL the fun ! 😅
Here he comes here comes Speed racer! 🎵 🎶
Thanks.
That was great. I'd like to see the full, uncut video.
Love the boat rides.
Thanks again Chigg.
Hop we stay cool. Time to add a little ice.
That was fantastic
I saw the Bavarian Inn.

Thanks, you too!
Most excellent adventure!Thanks

Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
I need one of your hats, please!! 🙏

That was fun!!!! 😃
that thing looks fun!
Thank you sir for another amazing ride! It does look so low. How many feet is it down?
That is a hard metric to say. It's down about 2-3 feet from yearly average.
That looks like so much fun! I always love watching your videos. 😊
There is some of what I call can openers in that section of river.
I've kayak-fished just about all that area of the Potomac and I can say that if you don't know what you are doing stick to the C&O walking trail for your Potomac experience.
Great shots of the river from the boat 👍👍
A fun ride down a lovely crazy river!
Sweet little boat you there, Chigg
Your my hero
Man, I am so sick of driving this land freighter around the country. I have got to get back out on the water.
Hull rippin' gauntlet right there.
For sure.
That looks so fun!!!! Woo!!!
If you could just get the Mokai to go that fast it would be just as awesome as the river rat. lol. Thanks for the video.
I have done a bit of that in a canoe in the spring with the eagles fishing the. Went to look for fossils. We found some nice ones.
Beautiful area
Do you carry some form of temporary repair kit, should you punch a hole in the hull when miles from the ramp?
None except my shirt to stuff in any hole.
@9:02 Was that a rock or just hard hit to water?
rock
I lost your site for 2 or 3 yrs lot of of stuff going on , time to pull my Garrett and White back out and join in
Nice
do the people i see in the small boats wave or do they wave with one finger when you go flying by? just a question seems kinda fast and noisy
Hey chig what is the draft of that boat at speed and what is it just sitting saw a couple of rocks go by that did not look too deep
Of course if you added your equipment, lunch and a couple of artillery shells you might not go back up the river as well!
How much water does your boat draw when you are up on plane?
Give the dense trees, I suspect we are seeing it as the soldiers did.
What was the recorded water level? The horseback riffles above Snyder’s Landing are no joke. I ran my outboard jet from Shepherdstown up to the horseback’s on Sunday. The river is LOW LOW.
It was around 1.92 or so at Shep.
Why do the rocks look like they've been placed in lines throughout your ride?
The ridges are a harder stone then the other that has been dissolved by the water.
Odd question Beau, do you ever suffer from forest fires in and around all this treed land? Or is it a very high moisture area as in rain, etc? I never seem to hear of fires in the NE as much as western US.
Occasionally we have some, but it is usually very green here in the summer.
I Got Me a 12 ft Flat Bottum Boat And Told My Wife It's For Me & You To Go Hunting In. 😁😉👌👍.
Ching, how deep is that water?
The water everywhere is soooo low this summer. It legit doesn't rain anymore.

Where’s the Life Preserver?
Where those old railroad pillars?
First two are/were vehicle bridges and then 2 RR bridges.
First
I think I’ve watched all your videos. Lately, though, they’ve been pretty low effort.
I’m not fond of water. This ride was creeping me out, especially seeing how close the rocks were! Cringe!
I'm off lately.
Lately? lol
@@aquachigger I know, I'm losing it.
Aren't we all.....
