Nothing like a quiet weekend

Who said it was supposed to be a quiet weekend?

Nice video. You should overlay us some numbers; speed, rpm, engine size.

[@JFJrsGarage]

Thanks. And yes that’s something that Im planning on doing going forward

Have a buddy who spent over $10,000 on a new engine and pump for his jet boat. The maiden run he's WFO as we look over there are 3 little girls on a seadoo hanging right with us. He put it on the trailer, took it home and has never taken that boat to the lake again. 😅😮

[@JFJrsGarage]

That’s hilarious. I have a stock 6.0 with a little bit of nitrous that runs over 100. Sounds like your buddy and his engine builder don’t know what they’re doing

@@JFJrsGarage a jet boat 100 mph requires 1000 hp

[@JFJrsGarage]

@@ReddenOrvillebacher-ju4ep you’re clueless. Check back in a few days I’ll post that video of my 750hp jet boat running 101

[@Roosters_Restos]

Is that your sidewinder jet boat? I have a sidewinder outboard boat I want to get rid of. It's green and silver and had a 135hp merc on it last.

[@JFJrsGarage]

The sidewinder was mine I sold it to a gentleman in Canada 2 years ago
