[@dixieboy5689]

Needs a valve job. I know . I had one. Loved it

[@jgmagoo1]

I taught my fiance how to water ski behind one of these in 1961. We celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in 2months (2012)

[@Sour75]

Hope you and your wife are both still out there. 👍

[@slit4659]

Got to Ride and Drive one of these back in the Early 70s Down in the California Delta.... Rick Frampton owned it...I don't think I've ever seen one Since.

[@briannasauve5216]

Wow, what a great ride... thank-you for not covering up that amazing sound with crappy music.... again, what a beautiful boat

[@wrzl1675]

Man, I haven’t seen a Skip Jack run in years and years. Loved watching them race.

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

Is that what that powertrain is called, a skip jack? Never seen anything quite like it,

[@joecook3223]

Never heard skip jack before, usually called cracker box

[@wendym1234]

That was amazing and sooo fast! Beautiful!

[@72troy455]

That's a badass boat.

[@fredgould8655]

If only we had videos In the late 60s crazy

[@boatracer32C]

lol hey Jared...thanks :) it was soooo much fun... I ♥ Scott haha he's so awesome :) Thanks Scott!

[@gagedacus]

My family has a Mandela flat booting boat that my grandpa built in 1973

[@Winrace27]

Very nice video Marlee! Hope it was a fun ride!

[@sunking2001]

That's pretty cool having the engine in front. It must be a little hard on the ears, tho'.

[@adzzi1]

Nice vid man, lovin the boat. Quick question what engine u running in it??

[@DumbCarGuy]

Motor sounded pretty good, But did I hear the man say she melted a piston?

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

Nice not hopping up and down no cav plate and as smooth as a hydro on the top end. Revolutionary V drive set up.!

[@ronpilchowski9898]

Pretty sure it's not a v-drive

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

RON Pilchowski oh so there must be a long ass drive line with a spline yoke that’s connected to a pump on the transom huh? A direct driven prop wouldn’t do much spinning 8 or 10,000 rpm would it?

[@ronpilchowski9898]

@@rightsidelanechoice7702 BTW that motor will never hit 10k on the rev counter not even close

[@ronpilchowski9898]

@@rightsidelanechoice7702 if you look closely at 1:14 You can see the direct drive shaft

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

RON Pilchowski dude how the fuck do you know? Are you piloting the fucking thing? Is it your build??? That’s what I figured, STFU with your argumentative comments. I’m well aware what a VDrive is you fucking ass clown!

[@unapro3]

He's like "so did you enjoy that?" and she's like "WHAT??"

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

I bet that thing hoops right up on a plane.

[@normankaster917]

Very cool

[@xxkiloxx69]

This would be great to really enjoy if it wasn't so damn loud and raise the gear ratio seems to have more power!!! yea buddy!

[@fatrat137]

I'd be scared to drive this beast

[@backcountrybluegrass4770]

so awsome

[@pismo10]

Direct drive, cool.

[@rhmbicyclersvideos]

Great sounding motor how about some info on size and HP output?

[@wantu2much]

water cools the moter and they pick it up from what they are driving on, and it goes out the exaust

[@boatracer32C]

Not sure... 90 something I think

[@thebigmann25]

Damn they don't even let the engine warmup

[@jonlennon3348]

Do you run a dry sump oil system and what top speeds can you reach?

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

Well being I’m running a 4-10 gear my top speed isn’t very impressive but with cheater bias plies n50/15”’s when it’s hooking up well it will pull mid 10’s in the quarter. No boost or nitrous all motor.

[@turbine35]

Da bekommt man ja ein Rappel, bei dem Gewackel.

[@simongowan9845]

Its 1 cool boat I have a jet boat

[@davemyers7507]

Where’s the Stump Bros

[@skswig1]

what cools the motor? is it closes system?

[@ronpilchowski9898]

I sure hope you have a flame arrester on that carb

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

No offense so what is it a 700R4 running a pump or a prop?

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

RON Pilchowski that flame arrestor is for those California lawmakers. While they’re the ones responsible for all the residential neighborhoods being targeted, left with I beams twisted and aluminum being melted at over 2500’F hotter than any house fire. Lol

[@ModellbautechnikSalzkammergut]

What is the max speed and how much is it.

[@TheRchelicopter]

How fast do they go?

[@flaplaya]

Oh my God the negative assholes in the comments/dislikes! Nice ride, nothing like the adrenaline from 600-1000 HP on a few sheets of plywood.

[@quickboat22]

Didn't know dry exhaust was legal in a boat....

[@HARED1818]

nice vid marlee its jared

[@Daff13102926]

Jared Wallach xc

[@savitu12]

What speed were you at?

[@srrings]

don.t get your jeans caught in the ever spinning drive line

[@jasonkingj69]

You cant drink with a helmet on.

[@poopieding]

nice, but next time mount the camera on the boat,, will get less shaking around....

[@homefront3162]

Or mount the chick holding the camera

[@17sti]

rhd i like you only need a vtec

[@TimmerBella]

Very Cool...........

[@goropeza101]

Boatracer32C can you tell me the dry weight of this boat?

[@ct1762]

heavy as hell

[@davidfarmer2049]

Aren't you getting a face full of exhaust fumes?

[@kc03300]

engine in the front. why?

[@SoManyDogs]

kevin c Because Crackerbox. Very old school circle race boats (Pre K-boats).

[@flaplaya]

+kevin c 1 year.. Because that's how all V drives operate. Have you ever sat in one at 100?

[@tzon6802]

+fla playa This doesn't have a v-drive, that's why the engine is in front. The propeller is direct drive from the engine. They are sitting in the back of the boat, at the transom, that's why its called a Crackerbox.

[@tzon6802]

+kevin c ^^^

[@flaplaya]

T Zon You are actually one hundred % correct in this instance. I have worked on many V-drives with fore engine mounting but re looking the angle here you win... Seen gear boxes almost at the bow many a time.

[@RICHIE_RICH89]

Ease of throttle slower less bumbs that way

[@wantu2much]

or the side of the boat,

[@potatofuntime4012]

I've noticed your air intake is backwards.

Old Video, much respect for the engineering side but what a total waste of energy!!!!! About as useful as a 454 FWD car:)

[@beauulvick4055]

and you might be a waste of oxygen

[@HIudown808]

micheal alexander you’ve clearly never been in a boat

[@carlosmurphy4u1]

Son of a bitch, couldn't have picked a worse spot for the camera!!!

[@lindsayzdadkevin]

holy shit i wish your girlfriend would keep thast camera still,stopped watching it half way threw

[@flaplaya]

+Kevin Wynants Holy shit I wish you were positive. Hesitated replying but then thought about how Neg your comment is and wanted to tell you something.. In one of these little boats at maybe a hundred you would be screaming like her. No offense.. I bet a hundred bucks you couldn't get ANY video out of a pass in that boat.

[@lindsayzdadkevin]

I betcha I can, lol dump truck

[@flaplaya]

Ya just a troll as I thought.. Move along like nobody.

[@lindsayzdadkevin]

dump truck

[@homefront3162]

Yeah that

[@jessekitts4441]

I hate to say it but that's not nothing get into this race car in my profile picture it will scare the shit out of you

[@GuitarBassCigar]

+jesse kitts Yawn...Is it really that important for you to think you've got bigger cajones than everyone else? These kinds of boats were ripping up the river long before your 1966-69 model drag car was on the track.

[@jessekitts4441]

Actually dumb Ass it's a 65 chevelle and yes it does take big balls to drive this car don't take much to play with that remote control piece of shit it's not interesting it's boring

[@GuitarBassCigar]

yawn x2
