Nice Rig your running! I think vids like this get all of us fired up to get our boats out on the water, I running a Donzi Black Hawk with a blown 502 built pretty well and running open headers after seeing this I need to get it on the water!! Be safe!

Awesome vid, Can't wait to get my 71 Hondo flattie out this summer. I'm in Az so go out to Parker on the Colorado river. Be safe!👍

At 4:59 we put our flat bottom on a wicked sand bar just right of the tree on the right. My dad was pulling me late in summer 1983 or so. He managed to get about 25' in about 3" of water and soft sand . How'd we get it off ? Drove it of course, we almost lost the shaft the coupling held on by a 1/4 inch . Had to float back took like 2 hours Fun times on the river

@@TriptoCo Yes I agree douche-nozzle, jet drives are a waste of horsepower. And those of us who've actually owned drag boats know that when we refer to them as Flattys and Hydros we are talking about v-drives.

@@TriptoCo Fair enough. My apologies then of course. I'm just trying to figure out where there was any mention of a jet drive with regards to this boat. I thought you were referring to this boat in particular which is obviously a v-drive. I'm definitely a v-drive man myself. I've owned 2 Sangers and a Hallett. I even owned a Eliminator jet bubble deck that I bought new in 1977 that was pretty fast for a jet. Just a real smooth riding family/ski boat. Anyway, once again, my apologies for misinterpreting your comment.

Played the Golf Course a lot many years ago, there were a bunch of hot boats on it when it had water in the River.
