Nice run boys, good camera placement in the boat. I have the same setup in my Bratt Jet, ZZ383 and a 212 Hamilton, 3.4 impeller. Gary from Red Deer AB Canada.

Geeze that was stressful 😅

stunning coverage, absolutely wonderful run. I now need a jet boat 🙂

[@PaulMcBreen]

Awesome video. epic days boating right there

[@NZRFoster]

Yes one of the bag for me for sure!

[@RichardStreeterYZ450FX]

That was farking awesome, gets nerve wracking trying to find the right channels especially in a big heavy boat, at least you had enough man power to get back to deepr water. Enjoyed watching. Cheers Richard

[@NZRFoster]

Thanks, yes once committed to a channel the choices quickly disappear!, still learning heaps, also in terms of recovery especially.

[@BraapLife88]

I may be wrong, but it seems that you're looking for deep water vs enough water. Obviously hindsight is 20/20. But a tip I got was dont look for deep water look for enough. As in this video deep water led yoy astray.

epic trip. go easy on the steering directional changes.lets see the bottom of the boat and the impeller after that.

[@NZRFoster]

No damage that can't be brought back to new, they're a tough brand. In terms of advice on steering, I agreed along with a long list of other improvements I can make, I would appear the best way to learn is to 'giving it a go' :-)

[@MrCubflyer]

You need a mini jet they are much lighter to get off the sand bars.

Yo, where is this, and is this a paid charter??

[@NZRFoster]

Godley River, no not a paid charter, the passengers were forced to come...

@@NZRFoster LOL, I dont think charter guests would appreciate pushing a jet boat all day with a heavy V8 and a Hamilton. I did allot of pushing in my 20's and 30's, too old for that shit now. Great video.
