Some comments from an ex crash scene investigator...."We arrived in Jackson the night she was killed, (for our semi-annual vacation to see 399). Went to the approximate scene, (they only said "about the 126 mile marker") which is in Lincoln County. The location of the carcass was in Teton County. Now they say it occurred at the 126.9 mile marker, still in Lincoln County. We checked from the 125 to the 127 mile marker and no sign of blood, pre or post crash skids, car parts, nothing to indicate the area of the crash. The blood and drag marks were still on the road 12 miles north though, in Teton County, where the elk carcass was hit. Interesting don't you think? (I'm a retired Crash Investigator so I had to see for myself). They cleaned up the site of 399's death but not where the elk carcass was located (I have video of the blood stained road where the elk carcass was). I was checking the scene as we just couldn't believe she was in the road. it seemed more likely the driver may have been crossing onto the shoulder some and that's how 399 was killed. We may never know how it really happened. We walked the roadway at the publicized location, (126.9 mile marker), and yes, the roadway and the shoulder were cleaned up VERY well. There were no pre-impact skids, blood marks, scuffs, hair, or drag marks, and no post-impact skids or blood stains. I went out to the scene the next morning, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday looking for anything to suggest a crash had occurred - NOTHING. I get it, the Lincoln County Sheriff is trying to keep everyone calm, I guess. But the interview they gave said the Deputies determined, by the damage to the vehicle and size of the bear, the driver was doing the speed limit of 55 MPH. I guess this is new "magic" they have now in determining minimum speeds in crashes. Also, remember, this crash was investigated by the Sheriff's Office, NOT the Highway Patrol, as their Trooper was busy on a rollover DUI crash. I wish they were a little more transparent with their (lack of) investigation. I don't believe 399 would have been in the road or jumped out in front of the vehicle. This is also not a blind spot on the road. We'll never know I guess."

Farewell, beautiful Queen! 👑 Friend Bear..... 💔 We will not forget you

The bear that is changing the world, one person at a time. We love you 399, you are a story to be told through generations. Your legacy will live on. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 🥺

399 was a majestic bear and a great mother to multiple cub litters. Her descendants will be part of the Teton valley for decades. Hopefully 399 will receive a proper burial in the land she ruled. She should not be taxidermied into some sideshow display just to bring in a few more $$$ to the region. IMHO anyway.

Rest is peace.

Lost the dam music so you can hear boat and motor

How std the boat perform after? I put a hole in a few of my strakes. Thinking of doing this over them

Looks like floor still removed.... 😂😂😂

That would have probably been a great video except for the music..

🔥 Pantera and a boat build 🔥

That's pretty crazy. How do you think you'd do on the south fork?

I’d never fish if I had that. Way too much fun!

Is that the Arkansas river

Killer boat

What is the material you used under the boat?

我的乖乖的啊，它看起來很冷的樣子

Ive been telling these goobs on this land cruiser forum to put this stuff on their sliders but they wont listen😢

😢😢😢I wish he/she would have made it, such a sad ending for such a beautiful, majestic bird 🦅…

*Thank You!* 🤗

Aluminum vs. Steel. Who wins?

i subscribed for more pantera

i finally figured out how ima put my wierd shaped sea doo into my jon thanks!

Hey man. Waved at you in La crosse today. Saw your boat a few years ago in lac de flambeau and recognized as soon as I saw it today. Love the rig!😂

So rad! Awesome video.

Hello what was your top speed you got out of this setup?

I had to scoop out weeds from mine one time, didn't even think about it. Pulled up on a sand ar in Fellsmere, Florida got in the water. About 5 minutes into it and 4 gators were closing in. I hopped right back in my boat lol.

So what part of the boat did you remove if not the floor?

Did you have rivets that you went over with the umhw? How is it holding up going on 3 years of use? I have a tracker pro team 18 jet that I'm thinking about doing this to. My biggest concern is going over the rivets and that causing an issue.

What size bolts and lengths did u use ?

you blew the bottom bro! frigen train wreck!

What kind of bit is that your using?

I camp on the Wisconsin River islands south of Castle Rock damn. It's extremely sandy and sandbars change a lot. My buddies and I currently operate a fleet of 4 outboard jons. Sure, we can read the river and find ways around. Except I'd much rather skate across. I'm in love with your Megalodon and eventually would like to build my own. In the mean time, I have a few questions about the Green machine. •How hard is the sand on the prop over time? •Is connecting the Jetski frame to the Jon noat done by fasteners and sealant and/or was any welding needed? •Lastly, how do you get something like that registered? Either way, have yourself a good one and upload some more videos of Megalodon ripping it up. It's convincing my wife to allow one.

That little Boat is BADFUCKINGASS!

This is awesome how tall did this stand ?

Sad to hear the Eagle passed. But when they pass the rescuing organization donates the carcass to the National feather repository in Colorado who then issues the feathers out to Native Americans who use them in their religious ceremonies.

Молодец 👍

So cool

how did you delete the DESS from your ski motor? or did you end up using it.

good thinking.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE!!!!!

JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU SO MUCH!!!

You should bolt the upper of one of those ebay 2hp outboards to the rear of your boat :)

Did you replace the flotation in the rear?

They've been in New Zealand for years. They were invented there by Hamilton Jet. www.hamiltonjet.com/ They're all over the world, now, in all shapes and forms. Not ideal for all purposes, though. www.shotoverjet.com/our-team-and-boats/jet-boat-features/

What was added to the bottom of the boat?

Hey brotha….musky fisherman from PA here. Thinking about hauling my jet on the 17 hr trip out to Wisconsin this September. Came out to Phillips area last year for my first trip out ever. Stayed on phillips chain and fished out of a buddies boat. I’ve been looking at fishing the Flambeau all the way north where it comes out of the flowage. Any advice you could give me on running that area at all?

How thick is the aluminum on your boat? I’ve read where guys say if you don’t have a certain thickness then you can’t use UHMW. That doesn’t seem to be the case though

Thanks for the rescue😇Poor Eagle😱😢

I had a jet drive river Jon boat.. when he gets home, he needs to hook up the garden hose and rinse all of the sand out of the motor.
