@Nixon Callum nobody cares

[@rickirwin8043]

Good safe way to learn how to operate a boat like yours. Very clean lines, interior and paint scheme. Thanks for the ride. I didn't have to deal with those jet skis back in my day. Enjoy.

[@texasdriven1521]

Thanks its been a blast not to long ago but seems like its been longer. We have put lots of work into this boat to get it to the point it is today. Its been a blast with a diverter on it! Still constantly working on it though lol

[@Robert-tj3qq]

I bet at full throttle ,one can have 30+ foot rooster tails !!. I was on a jet boat back in the day,on Roger's Lake,in Old Lyme,CT. It had a 454. There wasn't speed limit then . You should have see it it had islands and it's not really that big of a lake. We were getting some serious speed's !! I was a young teen !! .That boat you have here is Sweet!! I love how it has the 427 Ford in it !! How's it run ? I'd like to put a 427 on an aluminum Jon boat . Real rugged !! 18ft

[@jacobcarolan1172]

I’ve got a 73 Tahiti with a 455 olds. It’s now a 500+ hp 496 olds.

[@texasdriven1521]

Heck yeah we will probably hop this one a bit but trying to keep it stock looking. We might have to get a nother one to go fast with cause we like fast to!

[@johnchalleen3278]

@@texasdriven1521 You can add another hundred horses to the engine and not gain any speed. The pump, or jet drive in stock form only handles so many GPM...gallons per minute. For real speed you'll need to focus on the impeller. Been there.

[@redscorpionairgunner525]

enjoyed your video very much, keep it up !!!!!!!

[@MrColdwatercanyon]

Nice boat BB fords good especially at top end

[@chadmc253]

old video, but do you still have the boat? i want the manifolds on the boat for a turbo kit im building for my jet boat.

[@janj0n]

the billage pump??

[@texasdriven1521]

Bilge pump or sump pump I might be pronouncing it wrong. Electric pump that removes water from hual of boat. The out let is right above the jet drive.

[@dhosekowski1391]

Beautiful lake and nice boat. Where are you at in Texas?

[@texasdriven1521]

Lake Placid out side of San Antonio

[@rusrog]

CLEAN RIG!

[@texasdriven1521]

Thanks

[@walkingman9171]

Sharp boat, to bad they don't make them like that anymore. What make and model is the boat? What waterway is that? Thanks

[@texasdriven1521]

Centurion, honestly haven't figured out the model of this chase and I've looked some. Rare it seems.

[@alanwhiteside410]

@@texasdriven1521 It’s very similar to a 😮Avenger boat. I have a 1976 CeeBee Avenger with the hood on the back no windshield and a 455” Oldsmobile with the Berkeley Drive.

[@daffyduck9901]

You gots to tap into that bad mamajama. Let er eat! 🤙

[@texasdriven1521]

Oh we send it now! Rooster and all!

[@jamesg8693]

What brand?

[@texasdriven1521]

Centurion

[@danielswanson2965]

What river is this?

[@texasdriven1521]

Placid

[@Davidsavage8008]

Temp gauge is most important.

[@mrwilliamreece]

is it for sale ?tyler texas

[@texasdriven1521]

It was we brought it and have done quite a bit of fixing up and now running it hard and enjoying it! No plans to sell at this time.

[@mrwilliamreece]

@@texasdriven1521 thanks for the reply nice boat

[@ryankinney388]

That's the boat

[@texasdriven1521]

Um yes!

[@marctreglown2503]

Get a boat that can do rivers. No flat water. Check Hells canyon Snake river, Colorado River and Klamath rivers. Check white water rivers. Your boat would be washed by a wake boat. Hell I wouldn't take that on the Yellowstone.

[@texasdriven1521]

We like our lake boat just fine maybe one day we will do a mini jet though

[@drewgenetti7789]

Try to make a big block jet ski or the worlds fastest

[@texasdriven1521]

Sounds sketchy lol but fun! Check out the latest video to see our $1 jet ski

[@dewholdingsllc1050]

Best to get a boat on and off the trailer by hand. Save the gelcoat. Especially on vintage boats. Only dumbest boat owners drive on and off the trailer and their damaged boat show it.

[@DIY-DaddyO]

That's such a low cool craft... Like an arrow skimming across the water..

[@texasdriven1521]

We love the way it sits in the water but have to watch out for waves!

[@michaelking3542]

Tweek on that 460 and go eat up some skis

[@texasdriven1521]

Oh yeah she was weak old gas and all. Cant wait to see how she goes after all the fixes!

[@1istomanyads906]

Awesome boat but you do realize that a jet drive only pushes so much water right?? You can have 900 hp motor and only do 60-70 mph.... It all depends on the type and size of the jet drive.... If you wanna go real fast you need to find a V drive boat...Beautiful boat either way and will run fast enough to keep you happy.... my 18' sleekcraft with a 454 chebby will do 65 all day long... Always Remember run em fast and hard...

[@texasdriven1521]

@@1istomanyads906 Yeah not trying to go 100 or anything. Might venture down that road of more speed eventually with a few helper parts. We just want her solid so we can cruse all day and run full throttle with out worry of hurting anything. 60 mph would be sweet lol. Just trying to get it healthy she did good this past weekend.

[@forcedinduction5245]

Im sorry did you guys say you went to Detroit to get that boat ?

Waist off $$$ homie. Dump the pump. - vdrive is the way.
