[@goodeorganics]

You guys should be very very proud of what you have achieved! I've watched countless speed boats and you guys have it right! The Americans have absolutely nothing on you boys! You can't take those crazy drag boats up a river!

[@owow8526]

I’d be looking up an peripherals would see a water fly by. 😂

[@markpip999]

Nice, get us some onboard footage and keep us updated, cheers

[@777RiverRacing]

Even Morgoth would run his arse if he saw a waterdragon running towards him that fast...

[@the.n00bish]

[@Jacobskibros]

There are those kiddy boats with the alcohol blown big blocks.... But real men run this type of set up!

[@AmnesiaPhotography]

Argh cut out before we really got to see the wake. Great videos though. Keep up the good work.

[@bryanr87]

Bad ass!

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

These are just amazing. Jet two ways: Water and Gas!! Any more tech details?

[@777RiverRacing]

Cheers - been a huge project - built Queenstown NZ🇳🇿 - custom designed and built reduction gearbox 🇳🇿 - plenty of mods to turbine to suit application - 2500 hp gas turbine (only running 80%) -seen over 165mph - burns 8 litres of Jet A1 per minute (goes a long way in a minute) - boats currently in North America ready to race nexts years world event in USA

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Regan Williamson NZ for me is always associated with brilliant engineering. Whether this, Britten, Hamilton wjet, jetsprinting etc etc. Guessing the jet is a Hamilton? Or custom too?

[@777RiverRacing]

Ruaraidh Walker - there’s been some pretty cool stuff that has come out of NZ👍. Jet unit is custom also - it’s reverse rotation compared to standard jet units, based off a Hugh pressure unit (American Turbine)✅

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Regan Williamson All this custom stuff!! Excellent. Love to see a detailed tech video. That’d be amazing. Good luck at the Worlds, Cov allowing I guess.

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Which turbine are you using?

[@Paradoxx63]

WoW! What type of fuel you use? I am scare to ask about fuel consumption... Can you measure it?

[@davidhowell7901]

probably JP-5 or JP-10. Basically kerosene.

[@777RiverRacing]

Jet A1 - burn around 5-6L per min Cheers Subscribe to my channel and follow our journey to race the world jet boat marathon in May 2022 USA - will be plenty of footage including behind the scenes and our preparation to go head to head with the worlds fastest jet boats.

[@okeycokey2000]

Wow... fuck me dead ! lol

[@ThisTall]

Is it just me or does it sound quieter then a typical internal combustion drag motor would?

[@777RiverRacing]

I’d agree with that - 👍👍

[@josteincarlsen2905]
