MORE SPEED for Finnegan's "Wifes" Twin Turbo LS Jet Boat!!

After a little break from editing videos, I headed back up to Mike Finnegan's house with ‪@realgoodatdoinstuff900‬ to work out some of the little issues on the Red Boat. We were rewarded with new best top speeds on every attempt!!

Yes, yes, yes! This is such a joy to watch. Y'all make it look so easy. 100+ on the water is not suppose to look this easy. Well done.

[@pureblood2688]

Love how your video lengths are all whole numbers. My OCD applauds you

Glad I'm not the only one with ocd for that

All of this boat content reminds me of my days back in the mid-1970s when I was a boat designer at Glastron Boats. I know all of us car guys use the term "fender leaning" when we are in the garage, but this reminds me of "gunwale leaning" which is what you do while working on boats!

[@sanger440]

Glastron Carlson was my favorite recreation boat of all time. My buddies dad had one and he put a 1970 LT1 crate motor in it so it was pretty fast.

[@nicolelongneckergallery]

@@sanger440 When I was there 1975-1984, we had just purchased Carslon from Art (he stayed on with the company). His entire line had great deep V running surfaces with cool design above the water. I was in charge of most dash/console design and all the bass boats. Man, this is taking me back. Good times.

[@farkasbulkmeier3929]

In the late 80s and early 90s I was boating with my parents as a kid, every weekend of every summer, we had a four Winn's liberator but I always remember my dad pointing out other boats and I liked paying attention to manufacturers like with cars, but I always remember my dad pointing out glastrons here and there, reminds me of the good times. 🙂

[@ckane510]

Your "emergency floatation device" is great! Love the content once again!

[@gullreefclub]

I had forgotten all about not wanting a sheet of glass for top speed in a “speed boat” but Kevin saying that reminded me about a buddy of mine who had a jet boat back in the 90’s and his hull had a pair of air scoops on the front deck that were plumbed to duct on the bottom of the hull which was supposed to force air under the hull and create bubbles to help with top speed of the boat. The scoops had a cable control to open / close a damper plate (think throttle blade) to control the amount of air directed to the bottom of the boat.

Living the Dream... Awesomeness Overload... Thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing

[@n7565j]

My uncle raced boats back in the 50s, (got a house full of trophies down in Fl), and he said the water felt like asphalt at 60 mph!!! Can't imagine what it would feel like at 110!!! Yall be careful, and HAVE FUN :-) He built Mercury outboards and raced them on the lakes in central Fl. He owned a marine repair shop down there for years. Its hard to believe you can get those motors to live that long producing that much power!!! Drag cars are tough, but marine engines gotta live longer than 8 seconds ;-)

[@jacobmoses3712]

True. I have heard Gale Banks taking about boat races where the boats are at full throttle for 8 - 10 hours. They need stout engines to do that

[@anomamos9095]

The fly by shot is very reminiscent of the star wars speeder shots the way it seems to hover above the water

[@Autoauctionrehabs]

Love it! Not a water sports guy (except for ocean fishing) but those boats are awesome. Getting theme tuned right- perfect!

Man 55 on the water feels fast. I can't imagine what a 100 plus feels like.

[@stevebeavers3754]

The shot from the back was epic Kevin! When she brakes the water in back gets serious.

[@wsm19]

I used to work for Sonny’s racing. I know that motor in game over os easily capable of 4000+ hp. We dyno tested one 3300hp at 22 psi. All motor they’re 2500hp

[@johnkaswinkel7883]

Kevin I went by your shop on Wednesday and had a great experience! I am in Gainesville every week and have been wanting to come by and see you guys. I met you and some of your guys and Derek at Sic Week in Gainesville. Your staff were very welcoming and gave me tour and showed me some of your projects. of course Drew was working very hard! LOL! Sorry I missed visiting with you! Since you seemed to enjoy boating I will have to have you out to Lake Santa Fe this summer. Just let me know.

I've gone like 72 and as I remember, it was bone-chilling frightening. I suppose, if the boat is stable, it's safe, but man. Hang on. Cool video!!

[@danmyers9372]

Very cool shots at the end! 108 MPH for a boat that size is MOVING! Did Mike ever resolve the jet water inlet issue on game over? I know that has always really limited the performance/speed of the boat.

Going fast on water is a whole different experience then on land haha only went about 60mph on a jet boat thing b4 like the jetski was crazy for sure any ripples in water or wakes made ya go all sideways n crazy sometimes but dam was it ever fun

[@danmyers9372]

Totally agree. I have been around 80 MPH in a flat bottom boat and the sensation of speed (wind in your face, close to the water and screaming engine) is WAY more than the 140+ I have been a couple time in cars. Nothing like it. It truly feels like riding on top of a rock skipping across the water.

[@ericbeeman8717]

@@danmyers9372 I couldn't imagine that holy shit that's crazy fast but would be fun for sure theirs a vid on here shows this Asian guy on this tiny ass canoe but has a lil diesel engine with a turbo on it dude is screaming down this canal it looks like warp speed Mr sulu

[@GaveLJorgensson]

It's probably just me but Finnegan's Wife's boat reminds me of the Mamba from the game Elite Dangerous. I'd guess there isn't much crossover of viewership between the two.

[@Woodie-xq1ew]

could you use some of the water, coming out of that port on the jet drive, to reduce the IATs with a water to air intercooler?

[@FinnegansGarage]

that is exactly what we are doing.

[@jerry50bmg65]

More winning with KSR!

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Yep........a mirror smooth lake/water surface actually slows a boat down. When you've already ran basically any power boat at top speed on a rippled surface to mild chop, and then try running balls out on glass smooth water, you can literally feel the difference. The best way to describe running a boat on a glass smooth lake is: it feels like you're running on a lake full of Elmer's Glue........or even pudding. A nice rippled surface or slight chop gives ya that air mixed with water, reducing the friction between the water and the hull.

[@fredbancroft6436]

Love your channel your boats and car’s hate the ceiling in the garage all that insulation tyvek the ceiling it will keep the dust from the insulation falling on you 😁

[@paullutherborrow637]

Freakin awesome stuff ! Quick question - does the water going into the engine and intercooler get filtered to stop the intercooler brick being blocked up by any debris from the lake ?

[@nielsdebakker3283]

I have not seen seen any sign of something what looks like a weed catcher. ps. Water feed comes from the pressure side of the jet drive, you can see it in Finnegans video.

[@blindguygarage]

Okay so the red boat sounds like it has a bagpipe playing on it at some point LOL that might just be my extra sensitive hearing but kind of sounds like the low notes of a bagpipe playing along with the turbos

Is there no way to trim out the motor on a jetboat? Seems i remember my buddy trimming his outboard so we could fly across toledo bend. But, lol mike just said 103, i think best he got was high 40's mph. Man thats a different feeling on water.

Come on KSR.....Spill the beans, What was the RPM and boost level @108 mph, and was he smashing the 2nd fuel system (good fuel) on that pass? Or was that all on the primary injectors?

Be careful Kevin. 140 on water, no cage, nothing, is no joke.

[@doughamm5590]

Awesome. Shouldn't there be some type of filter on sorts of the turbos to keep from sucking in water? And could ya put a shot of nitrous like they do on diesels? Not familiar with turbo's y I ask

[@Thematty635]

The amount of water that will get sucked in really isn't going to do much, most spray should be behind the boat really. ( or atleast that's what I think the reasoning is😂)

[@tracy2928]

If enough water gets to those turbos to be an issue, you have far bigger issues and filters would be the last of them. :-)
