Small V Drive Speedboats!

Enjoy big horsepower and fast boats at the 9th annual New Year's Day V drive Show hosted by Weekend Paradise RV park in Lake Elsinore California. Over 40 hot boats showed up this year to take a spin in the small Southern California Lake, hungover or not. In part 1 of this video we go onboard with two special speed boats for a driver's perspective of what its like to drive a blown alcohol flat bottom and a blown gas flat. My new GoPro Hero 8 provided some amazing onboard footage which really made you feel like you're in the drivers seat. If you haven't checked them out yet, I recommend doing that, here:

Need shades for your next boating trip? I never go anywhere without my Blenders. Check them out here: shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=136065...

So much cooler than jet drives, and faster.

My father has a 1958 Biesemeyer with a small block Chevy. This meet up looks like a lot of fun.

6:15 lighting the candle with all that gorgeous paint and glassy water ahead of you and all that engine behind you. Magical.

I was just wondering if the hat sunglasses, flannel, jeans and black work boots is a mandatory dress code?(asking for a friend)

[@ronk6553]

So-cal

[@fatrat137]

Gadamn California kids, in northern ontario this is basically unheard of....it's awesome though, the water looked so smooth on that first takeoff

[@FastLoudPhotography]

Haha. Yeah, we’re lucky in that respect. But for what it’s worth, we got blown out last year with 30mph winds. Thanks for watching!

[@mboyer68]

The way V-Drives work puts the engine in backwards and close to the transom. I didn't see any boats setup like that? I'm confused.. Those boats are awesome though!! Just hearing those engines I can smell the race fuel in my head!

[@FastLoudPhotography]

Yes, the engine is at the stern of the boat and a drive shaft goes to to the v-drive transmission which sits between the front seats. That v-drive transfers the power to the prob shaft which extends to the prop at the stern of the boat, running through the transom, held in place by a bearing housing which is water tight. If you draw a line from the engine down the drive shaft to the transmission and back down the prop shat, it makes a “V” shape, hence the name.

[@barryburton7581]

Not once did I see the butterfly’s open 100%.......

[@mboyer68]

At 14:10 you can see them open fully, but ours in the shade, then again at 14:46 you can clearly see them disappear as they go flat...in the sunlight. Kind of an unusual comment because you can clearly hear every boat go wot..wide open throttle..on their runs. And every time at wot, those butterflies will be fully open. So you don't have to see them, you can hear them. I don't understand who would thumbs up this comment either..must be more newbs who are unaware that they're fully open when at wot.

[@Profabdesigns]

Back to Lake Smell somemore,,,,,

[@JohnW1711stock]

I'm no boat expert, but, I know HP when I hear it! I think an old PT Boat with modern power and all the extra weight off, would be cool. The PT-73! LOL

[@stuntflyr]

I think a PT boat with three Allison V-1710's is enough power, it's the venue needed being the Pacific! They are 80 feet long!

[@OKBadBoats]

Lol 2020’s going to be a great year! Need to edit that one!

[@mboyer68]

How do that dyno a race boat engine? Is there a coupler that attaches to the drive shaft?

[@sharons9367]

Do you have magazines and names of them in the us based on these boats and others ? Zero magazines here in Australia 🇦🇺 Can’t wait for part 2

[@FastLoudPhotography]

Thank you, Sharon! The only magazines we have specific to these kinds of boats are Speedboat Magazine (speedboat.com) and River Whips Magazine (riverwhipsmag.com). But even then, neither are exclusive to this style of boat. But I'm glad to hear that you enjoy them as much as we do! Thanks for watching!

[@sharons9367]

Fast Loud Photography thank you ! The boats are awesome I will check out the ones you listed So glad for your efforts to present the videos

[@billallen4793]

Thanks for the video!!! I haven't put my boat in the water for almost 17ish year's 😢😭.....from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠🇺🇸p.s stay safe and healthy everybody GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY AND stop this foolishness ❤

[@ryancavanaugh4479]

Smell Sumore.

[@markwalker994]

Why are the seats set so high in this class of boats?

[@FastLoudPhotography]

Great question! One is just by the nature of the boats design with the very low freeboard area (side height). But also because these boats were designed for drag racing so they are made to let the driver get ejected away from the hull without getting caught up in the wreckage at over 100mph. If you do a search for drag boat crashes, you should be able to find images of these boats flying in the air while the driver is skimming across the water. When they land back in the water they usually disintegrate, and you definitely don’t want to be in it when that happens. Crazy, huh? That’s why I remain “just the photographer”. 😉

[@alkennedy1124]

Happy Easter guys wear your mask , we all need to stay alive ,and the only way to do that is wear your mask, nice boat and run, I never seen the butterfly’s all the way open, probably would flip the boat right, how much HP, is it, thanks guys wear your mask stay away from others, a stay alive, thanks BigAl California.

[@davemyers7507]

Where is Lance stump

[@jj-racing72]

how do they run them out of water for that long

[@FastLoudPhotography]

Most of these are blown alcohol engines. They burn super clean and super cool. In fact, the air intake freezes over from condensation after running for a few minutes.

[@jbaker8871]

They burn up impellers and carry extra. Lol

[@genefogarty5395]

@@jbaker8871 Impeller? lol. They're V-drives.
