[@CS-ir9mo]

I love these boats blower motors doesnt get no better than that. People that give thumbs down 👎 i wonder what problem is with this!!

[@DDAllen612]

Outstanding video in every way! I put on my earphones and listen to it really loud. Having driven a pretty fast boat before, this gives me goose bumps! Thanks for sharing.

[@martyharless5097]

It's been more than 50 years since I drove dad's flatty and my heart still starts pumping faster just watching these videos. To me there's nothing more sexy on the water than a v drive flat bottom. They are completely impractical but what a rush of adrenaline!

[@michaelpryor2981]

FLAT BOTTOMS AND HYDROS ARE AN ACCIDENT LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HAPPEN!!! I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THEM SINCE THE EARLY 70'S !!! STILL LOVE EM!!!!!!!

My friend had one of these boats when I was 15 years old back in 1974 on the Chesapeake bay .scared the crap out of me.

[@edwardkesock216]

[@vdrivevideo]

I'm not sure which boat you're referring to but give me a color description and an email address and I'll send you a photo of any boat you see there.

[@sgals943]

Good to see so many naturally asperated engines. But the pulley on the top needs to be the size of a cotton wheel

They ought to do something to warm up the props, like cars doing burn outs.

[@kx250fforlife]

Takes me back to the good old days, when I was a sperm cell in my dads nuts and he was racing blown alcohol jetboats.

[@ridered7262]

Can I get some info on this event, I would like to drag my Hondo out there.

[@vdrivevideo]

It's held on the Colorado River in Needles California. It's a boat show as well as an et challenge for those who want to enter. There's another similar event coming up Thanksgiving weekend at Sundance in Parker AZ.

I wonder what the top speed of these boats would be on a longer run and on smooth water....

[@remkojerphanion4686]

@Jeffrey Hyder Thanks for answering. 130mph on water, man that is fast! Sure wouldn't wanna crash at that kinda speed....

[@brianjacobsen5762]

Canoe with mountain motor.

[@vdrivevideo]

These boats are longer than a '57 chevy! lol

[@brianjacobsen5762]

@@vdrivevideo 18' - 21' same size little longer than 57. half the weight.. If you push it. It will punt you like a football.

not much in the way of safety gear.
