Try moving the wing back over the cage on top of the

Very nice. Co driver has a lot of faith in his friend.

Love the content and would love to launch at the river house in Parker

I’d buy one just for the laughs!

Great upload mate.

Sorry Robbie- your still a dik

Probably the worst sport imaginable.

why wings in rapids can see alot of smashed front wings

Looks like Shooter Mcgavin lmao

First guy to do a full send into a class V rapid... broken neck.. forever a Legend. Definition of badass, The Kiwi that owned a Hamilton jetboat in the 1950-60s. From Canada, Cheers brothers!

20 years ago 😊

Impreza❤

Got an idea for the World Championship 2026 . Nuijang/ Salween river in Yunnan, China.

Grind hard, plumbing channel did that three years ago with a jet stream mini chassis

Amazing to watch ❤

1:05: oed says there is NO such word as tenaciousness. the word your vocabulary appears to lack is TENACITY. SAKES

Some of the best tv for my phone on a friday at work ready to head to ParkerStrip, AZ! Well done, thank you.

Couldn't watch with your logo blocking half the screen

Fuckin A the bay

LOL - what do they sell for?

EngineBlockTV : Totally appreciate you posting this up on KZbin. shows my Father's Boat #42 White Water. - Have you any other Videos or Photos of this 1970 -1972 Caltex Marathons? as Truely Love to see anything available. Many Thanks, Darryl Tong

#42 White Water - is my Father's Jet boat. Ford Mk3 Zodiac Engine driving Single Stage Hamilton Colorado Jet unit. Full Throttle all the way down the Wanganui River at 38mph.

Can’t drive, pussy

That was a good piece of history. This is where you get your jet skies tech. from thank you

Absloutely great stuff! Many heartfelt thanks indeed - so many of these Titans of the day are now forgotten because they didn't spend all day banging their own drum, they just got on with having great lives. Today's heroes photograph their lunch for facebook.

Our family spent countless weekends boating upon Blowering Dam, part of the Snowy Scheme, in NSW, Australia. We met a really "good bloke" contractor on the Snowy Scheme, who had bought a Stage 3 Hamilton Jet boat, and we asked him if we could try waterskiing behind it. The boat had a V8 coupled to the Hamilton Jet, so it was really powerful and agile. If we fell off our skis, it could turn on a dime to do a "flying pickup"

"Brilliant"👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks Kris for the visit. We are really happy you enjoyed your time here

Didn’t know they ran races on the coquille river , how long they been doing that ?

Amazing stories. Amazing rivers conquered. It worked!

I need one

My father was a jack of all trades, specializing on inboard boats among other things pre 1960's. Had he lived long enough it would not have taken him long with a few of his local ingenious mates to start making one of these. These guys in my eyes were way before their times, thank you for an enjoyable Doko here in Aotearoa.

Antonio Vazquez, un saludo desde Arkansas usa, medio mucho gusto que mensionaste a el Rio Balsas y los Rapidos de Santa Elena porque desde 1985 que fue el ultimo marathon del Rio Balsas porque serraron la cortina de la presa del Caracol, y claro que conosco los Rapidos de Santa Elena porque yo soy del pueblo Rio Balsas y te deseo lo mejor

I grew up with the famiky boat was a 1961? Arena craft w a hamilton jet. W a 270 or 212 t bird motor. The jet pulled skiers up more slowly but otherwise had advantages. Like when sister drove up on the beack 15 feet from the waterline. Took 25 psople but pushed out and np.

Very good blast to the past and present. Thank you.

Me and a friend were owners of a ex Dongara surf life saving boat with a 3 stage hamilton jet,302 windsor,i think it was a colarado model,long time ago,good memories.

I wanted to know the relationship between the Hamilton jet boat to the jet ski watercraft. 😊

In the late eighties I actually came across that Sunbeam racecar of Bill's, specifically it's magnificent massive inline race engine, sitting in a quiet corner of a quaint old mechanic's workshop in the main street of the small inland South Canterbury township of Fairlie, gateway to the Lakes Tekapo and Pukaki. It was a beautiful engineering marvel to behold.

In the mid-60's my uncle had a 16' Hamilton Jet Runabout powered by a Chevy 327, which he towed behind an AWD Jensen Interceptor 383! Fuel was cheap then. My father in the early-70's had an 18' Hamilton Jet (w/cabin) powered by a Holden 308, which he towed behind a Chrysler 360! Guess fuel was still cheap. I remember the 18 footer's top speed on glassy water was exactly 54mph at 5,000rpm! It seemed blindingly fast when sitting out there on the very foredeck of the boat to balance the 'vee' somewhat for optimal top speed across the water. Luckily I didn't fall off, but probably wouldn't have survived if I had! My father and I won the Whitianga 1970 Mercury Bay Regatta Open Category in this boat named 'Blue Jay' just beating Hamilton City's Rollo Marine 'solo' in a fibreglass sub-13' open race boat powered by a 60hp outboard which spent most of it's time with just it's prop and lower shaft in the water. He was gobsmacked to be overtaken by a heavy fibreglass 18' cabin boat in the slightly choppy conditions of that day with just enough keel weight to keep the jet's water intake still buried in the seawater, whilst his diminuative 'flying boat' had six inches of pure air under the whole of the keel..! Fun times!! Then the fuel crisis hit . . 1973 . . and the demise of 'fizz boats' . . in favour of sail !

Brilliant show yall.

So great to come across this. I wouldn't have guessed the history behind it.

Water jets have abysmal efficiency at low hull speeds. Rivers also can have lots of weed. Guess where it ends up.
