Boating the Shepaug River in the Saturn Kaboat with Suzuki 20hp Jet

[@davidharris241]

Enjoyed the ride, Mike! Neat that polyurethane makes for a sturdier intake. Was cool to see those guys watching you from the bank. I’m guessing it’s very rare for them (and the homeowners along the way) to see/hear any boats up that way! Thanks for sharing your new adventure.

I really liked the "Slaloming through a boulder patch" part. 😎

Another great video Mike!! I love your dedication to this quest.

Just got this boat with a yamaha 6 for my local river, this looks like alot of fun

I think it’s time for aluminum lean post/grab bar. Great video can’t wait to see more.

[@jamesdavidsmith4033]

Very inspirational, considering I also own a Kaboat. Thanks. Your setup does well. Do you think adding a jet tunnel is of any major benefit?

[@carsonkeitt9028]

Awesome man! Got and pictures or videos of the transom and support? I run a 15ft kaboat.

Your an absolute madman..😅

[@roberthunter8573]

So the grate.. they have a grate rock slammer where you have a lever that you move to get rid of any debris in your grate...

Mike incredible setup! I’m up here in Alaska and trying to figure out how I could build the same jet outboard set up! Could you please add some links to your description where to get the jet outboard lower unit, the polyurethane intake, as well as the ECU upgrades?? Do you recommend 2 stroke over 4 stroke for this setup? Thank you! Solid video!

Where did you find a suzuki 20hp jet?? I have a Saturn Kaboat 470 15' and have it paired with a 8 hp prop motor. Love that you paired this with a jet. Thanks!!!!

[@jarodupton3787]

Awesome setup, truck included! I love HunnuYK vids as well. Im having trouble finding a suzuki jet outboard in that size via Google. Is it a factory jet or conversion? Do you have a link?

[@mikesandone2652]

Hi It's a conversion. The jet kit is available fromOutboard Jets www.outboardjets.com/download/jet_drive_kits/Suzuki-Blue-Binder-2023-2024.pdf

[@TheBuzzardsbayboy]

I have the same boat and motor. Can you give the make/model of the jet lower unit?

[@supercub2006]

How much weight can you plane with this set up?

[@hntrains2]

Reminds me of a guy in one of the Nordic countries; he would ride his motor boat on very fast rivers himself. He is dead now.

[@mikesandone2652]

Yes you mean HannuYK. His channel was the inspiration for my Kaboat adventures!

[@hntrains2]

@@mikesandone2652, he was an inspiration indeed! Take great care out there - while enjoying every minute of your adventures!
