We head down to Atlanta to meet up with ‪@FinnegansGarage‬ and go for a ride in his twin turbo Sonny Leonard-powered jet boat! First we have to get it all fixed up (the jet drive needed replacing) and then it's time to hit the lake. But do we have enough gas in the tanks? Hmmmm...

It's still a cool boat. Sure he can put a propeller ND go faster but that boat can do 180s in the water ND go in real shallow water that props can't get into ND the jet pump is more safe around swimmers. Speed isn't everything this thing can also turn on a dime. Check out sprinter boats they pretty bad ass. Jets are way more fun then props. Maybe u should build a better boat

I feel my top speed was about 60 but even 60 feels like 100! the best I did pulling water skiers was 8 at one time. It had the old Berkley pump!

A jet boat most definitely DOES NOT pull itself forward! In fact, the defector off the back of the drive proves that... when the defector is down to spool the turbos, all the force of the jet is pushed equally out both sides and the boat sits still... if the intake of the drive was "pulling the boat" it would launch forward when he tries to spool the turbos. Also, the drive sucks water UP into the drive, so the boat would actually get pulled down into the water, not forward!

In the early 80's I had a flatty v-drive with an alcohol LS7. We were camping on a river and making some passes when a group.of older gents came to the dock to watch. They'd been tipping a few back already and they started chidding one of the guys about "guts" enough to go for a ride. So I gave him a short run hitting maybe 85-90 mph or so. His eyes were huge by the time we got back. When he stepped in the seat to get out all his buddies busted out laughing. Seems he had sprung a leak while we were out. That seat cushion was never the same. We used to say you weren't a man till you went 100 on a flat bottom. That was before runner bottoms or wings. If you did it right she would dance, if not she'd bite you hard.

OK - I'm no rocket scientist, but the description of how a jet boat works is not correct. Jet boats (like, well, jet aircraft and rockets) work on the principle of reaction - Newton's third law of motion. The pump forces mass (water, in this case) toward the rear of the boat at a high speed - the boat moves forward in reaction to that mass being sent the opposite direction at high speed. Here's a thought experiment for those who think that the boat is "pulling" through the water: imagine that the pump inlet is fed by a big water tank mounted ON THE BOAT. If the primary propulsion was from "pull", then the boat would never move. However, I guarantee that, in fact, the boat will be propelled forward very rapidly. A normal non-jet boat "screws" itself through the water by coupling engine power via the propeller blades, but a jet-boat relies on the reaction of the water expelled, just like a rocket relies on the thrust developed by expelling hot gases from the rocket nozzle.

Finnegan could at least put some decent seats in that thing, both of you guys made those seats look tiny like they were made for kids, those are "pleasure boat" seats. I know you don't want seat belts, but he could have a nice racing type seat that would hold you better, it's easier than you think to get tossed out of a boat. My Dad spun out his 16ft hydroplane with prop/rudder, when a roll pin sheared on the steering mechanism on the rudder. it broke as he was doing a hard turn under power, spun the boat out, did a complete 360 and almost got thrown out. We learned a lesson that day, cause we didn't have another boat there on the lake to go out and drag him in, my Dad had to lay on the bow of the boat and paddle with his hands, took him quite a while to get the boat close enough to shore to throw him a rope, the lesson we learned is, you should never play with a boat without having another boat there in case of emergency.

I'm probably telling you something you already know, when you take off real fast like that, and if for any reason your motor quits ,a giant wave from your wake will swamp your boat and it will be game under. Real fast. I've seen a couple of boats do that at the Colorado River. I would get that bow strengthened up not just for people to walk on it, but vibrations like that can harmonize with your motor and grow exponentially when you accelerate and could possibly fly apart

I got a aluminum jet boat that has a LS 6 liter and that thing hauls across the water everyone has been telling me I gotta put a turbo on it but they are the same ones that don't like to go 3/4 throttle in it so I don't know why they want me to put a turbo on it when they will be scared to ride in it anyway. But I have hit the water doing only 40 MPH across the water and that was almost enough to knock me out so I would not want to hit the water any faster because it will hurt even more then it did at 40 the good thing is I was on a tube being pulled when I hit the water but it hurt.
@Slider68
@Slider68 3 жыл бұрын
That thing must be a blast to ride in. Any idea what the peak and average G's up to say 60 mph are? I would have liked to see a more detailed explanation of jet drive physics (though it is pretty complicated; skip to point #3 for the biggest contributor). I like to break down the jet drive physics as follows: 1. Positive hydro-static drive component: Behind a rotating propeller there is a pressure gradient developed by a combination of water viscosity and change in water momentum. A high pressure contacts the back of the propeller and using the equation F=PxA (Force = Pressure x Area perpendicular to direction of travel) you can see how this would push a boat forwards. In a jet drive there are pressures acting on the jet drive housing that complicates things and act in other directions. It is the sum of all PxA (with some negative) that provides this thrust component. You can also imagine taking a knife and virtually slicing the water at the jet drive's exit and temporarily imagine the jet drive, including all of the water inside it, as a solid block. At that exit there will be a specific average pressure and if you multiply this pressure by the jet's exit area you'll calculate the same total thrust component. 2. Negative hydro-static drive component: In front of a rotating propeller there is a similar pressure gradient, although in this case it is a reduced pressure. You can imagine this reduced pressure as pulling the boat forwards, but more accurately there is approximately 15 psi of water pressure pushing on the boat everywhere, including at the back. By lowering the pressure at the front of the propeller up to 15 psi the boat will be "pushed" forwards by the water at the back of the boat. If the pressure drop is greater than approximately 15 psi you will get cavitation, which is essentially the water flashing into a gas. Propellers designed to push water don't do a good job pushing gasses and a this causes the engine's rpm to flair up and acceleration to drop off. This negative hydro-static component is limited by this 15 psi pressure drop limit and the fact that when moving quickly, the water, and its up to ~15 psi max, doesn't touch the back of the boat any more. As a result, at speed, you don't really accelerate from this. Finnegan is correct though that if you took the jet drive's output and pointed it directly upwards, you would still be pulled forwards by the water being sucked into the jet drive intake (although the boat would be slow). 3. Change in momentum applied to the water exiting the jet drive: With high powered jet drives this is the primary motivating force. If you stand on a skateboard and throw a basketball rearwards, the skateboard and you will move forwards. This is because you give the ball momentum and as a result you receive an equal amount of momentum, but in the opposite direction. This same mechanism applies to all of the water thrust out the back of the jet drive. This is also the same way rockets in space can still accelerate when there is no air for the rocket to push against. By accelerating something and throwing it out the rear of a rocket, a boat, a snowmobile, etc. the vehicle is accelerated forwards. The equation for conservation of momentum with two bodies is M1xV1=M2xV2, although the equation relating momentum to force and time (F = MxV/t) is more useful here. Since V/t equals acceleration, this simplifies to F=MA (Force = Mass x Acceleration). Ultimately the faster and more water you thrust rearwards, the larger the force generated pushing the boat forwards. One cool thing about the momentum thrust component is it doesn't matter if the jet is shooting in the water or in the air. As long as the water jet shoots rearwards, the thrust produced is forwards. If the jet shoots upwards though, the force on the boat is downwards (which could push the back of the boat under water) and if sideways, the force is also sideways (in the opposite direction). One thing that does impact the momentum thrust component a lot is if the propeller cavitates. Since the propeller is designed for water, it can't pump a gas very well. When cavitation occurs, the water exiting the jet drive will drastically slow down and the engine will suddenly rev up drastically. This is why having a large, unrestricted water intake is so important. Another thing to consider is when cruising at speed with a well designed water intake, water is actually pushed into the intake and this helps to make cavitation less likely. If you apply enough power to the jet drive though, at some power level, cavitation will occur at any speed. This is why you'll sometimes see very high powered jet drives appear to "slip", with the engine revving right to redline, and the boat not accelerating very well. Off topic, but something I found fascinating many years ago is how modern, high powered snowmobiles manage to accelerate up near vertical slopes that are far, far too steep to even walk up. When I started snowmobiling, even the highest powered machines relied on traction, which essentially means developing the maximum "pressure" on the rearward face of the snowmobile track's paddle and pushing against this. Once power got into the 150 hp level and up (these days 400+ hp isn't unheard of with turbocharged mountain sleds) the motive force switched from the highest pressure on the paddles (traction) to instead accelerating snow to insane speeds and thrusting the snow out the back of the snowmobile more like a jet. By imparting enough momentum into the snow being shot out the back, the forward thrust created can be enough to accelerate the snowmobile up literally any slope, even up a vertical slope! This same mechanism is used with high powered sandrails where sand is thrust rearwards at extreme speeds, resulting in incredible levels of forward acceleration. In fact if you have enough horsepower and can "shoot" enough snow or sand rearwards at a high enough speed, acceleration is effectively unlimited. Already you can actually accelerate this way faster than possible with drag slicks on pavement. With enough horsepower and the ability to use it to shoot snow, sand or water rearwards fast enough, acceleration will be limited only by what the human body can handle. I hope this overly detailed explanation helps some of you...

Wow! That is a Sick engine and full of money! Sure, you aren't pushing like twice the limits of that hull and Jet pump?!! Need to give that 1500hp+ something to do. How about Time for a surface drive and three point or at least a pickle fork and then you'll both need goggles.

@@blainemacdonald6929 if you watch Mike's videos it does slowly move And technically it pulls water into the jet and pushes it out backside I build agricultural water pumps that are similar style immpellers n bowl just different intake and discharge

@@blainemacdonald6929 I had the same thought. While is does still move a little, the difference seems to be huge between having the staging nozzle up or down.......so, unless I'm missing something, the staging seems to bust the pull theory, at least when sitting still or moving at low speed. Perhaps it helps pull while at speed.

50,000 G's in the motor, and no valve to swap fuel tanks, not mention not even electric. Mike do they allow nozzles like yours in the Lucas jet boat classes? Anyone from those racers inquire about it?
