[@MrMrsregor]

[@TheNZSlayer]

bloody kiwis . love it guys 🤘

[@hyonker2134]

Tony's RC me too, and I'm a Kiwi to

[@vetten76]

Lighten up. These small jet boats aren't hurting a thing. Looks like a lot of fun without tearing anything up! Great video.

[@77Avadon77]

I'm more afraid they're going to hurt themselves but I busted up laughing watching some of these jumps. I just can't believe these boats are so resilient.

[@TheTorkerman]

I thought the Aussie were mad!! 😂😂😂

[@Coltonm8994]

The duke boys of the water. Good stuff man

[@Bansheeboat]

Thats awesome! Those small jet boats are the coolest thing! Its really awesome being able to whizz around the rivers like that!

[@StephenBrewer89]

The duke boys are at it again

[@Reckone12]

Dude I honestly thought the thumbnail was just clickbait nonsense, THAT JUMP WAS AWESOME!!! I seriously need to come visit, kiwi's have way too much fun lol.

[@joshofatown]

Sick, keep up the good work and innovation....that air though!

That looks like a sh*t tone of fun!!!

[@galva777tx]

Those are some cool little boats. Nice jump 👍👊👊👊

[@NERPAATV]

Супер!

[@jackfrost2146]

The last time I saw a boat jump from that high, it was in a James Bond movie!

[@iidentifyasvaccinated8877]

Good boat for wife's if only they had cars like this

[@nevillewilkinson2500]

what river is that? Awesome mate...

[@tweetingsparrow]

Ha what a hoot, i could use one around home for sure.

[@neilpederson5212]

Love the jump!

[@silverstake88]

I'm calling the fun police - that is way more than the law allows....😁👍

[@ToysCollective]

this is sick! need to sponsor you guys ;P

[@LOAFofNAM]

Always keen for sponsors! Wait until you see the next video with ocean wave jumping and a 100 meter long cave run !

[@melvinmariott8609]

that was so cool rock on man. I would like to have one.

[@johnpinney8190]

Hahaha awesome. Those boats can take a beating! Man some of those sections of river looked really fishy. Have yall ever fished back there?

[@shaunrich880]

John Pinney yup bow fishing mate koi carp

[@lukepaul2882]

sick! air time and all. that guys a nutter haha

[@trobaughryan]

Thought the thumb nail was click bait because it looked so awesome. I was WRONG!!!!! Soooo coooool!!!!!!!

[@Bansheeboat]

He makes the jump at 3:28.

[@nwc918]

I want one!

[@johnmazz88]

great video any chance you have plans for the hull construction and would be willing to share

[@ROTAXD]

I know you're using jetski power & pumps...what displacement ? How much power are these hulls capable of handling ?

[@LOAFofNAM]

No idea sorry, just built it to a supplied kit

[@henry.schafer]

whats a guess on how cheap the total could be on building one of these boats. motor and all

[@kymarie2233]

This looks like SO MUCH FUN OMG!!!!!

[@kieronbevan7489]

Bet the wildlife loves it

[@Freedom-Buoy-LLC]

Bet I the Wildlife hated it!!!😃

[@bahamasking2063]

Awesome video

[@Revnahead957]

HERE! Take my money just give me one of those boats!

[@wolgarolisal]

Where are yah @ 1.59?Those turned boats and bin?

[@mickgatz214]

Awesome Video.... i wnat one of these little babies :)

[@ForgettableVids]

You guys really need to add a little head saver bar to your boats. The low hanging stuff could really ruin your fun! One of my dads old acquaintances almost beheaded himself when he drove through some wire fencing someone had discarded.

[@brittenv1000]

out having fun.! looks magic. haven't heard that song for ages!

[@mikehagen3785]

those are SWEET!

[@FarmerFpv]

Bloody Hell, James Bond Is Back!

[@holdenfan4513]

looks like a wicked day out

[@jdog4534]

Great video!. That first jump was gnarly!. He damn near subbed it on reentry. Did he wrinkle the starboard side aft gunwale area jumping it like that? I thought I might have seen something in the video. ..but hot damn! That looks like fun.

[@jamieganderton]

Put your clock back for the winter....

[@FaithandActiondotnet]

Those are the ultimate dinghys! Sweet jumps!

[@alextheduke8221]

[@fishbaitcrab557]

AWESOME!

[@QIKRX4]

May I ask where you bought the jetboat from please? Or was it made from plans?

[@zakzbroja]

i think thomas hewitt sells kits to make them

[@LOAFofNAM]

Both boats are home made from a hull by jetlj , check out his videos on you tube

[@billbryan1031]

where can I get a boat or plan to build these , man they look really fun for me an my son's . Bill

[@rreidnauer]

INSANE! Truly envious of those NZ waterways. Nothing like that in the States.

[@Brandis56]

i guess you haven't been to Oregon

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

I do this shit in Idaho too.

[@rreidnauer]

I am envious of you both then. I've never come across narrow, deep-water waterways in the States. Plenty of shallow ones with either mud bottoms or loose shale to to suck up into the intake though!

[@TheDaltonmichaels]

Northern California , Oregon , Washington , and assuming by the comment above Idaho have tons of water way like this. not to mention Alaska.

[@thepyrodude]

Dalton Michaels true that there's plenty of them on the west coast

[@LeoComprarOnline]

Hi could you give me a tip, what do you use to protect the hull or bottom of the jet boat, because I have a jet ski and where I sail here there are many stones I wanted a tip to protect the hull of my jet ski, I'm from Brazil .

[@docthebiker]

Is it wrong to have hoped the wake from the speeding boat at 0:27 would propel one of those floating branches through the side (and maybe the leg of someone in) the POV boat?

[@rr3102]

docthebiker Yes.

[@docthebiker]

How about just the side of the boat then?

[@Jetty-me6cw]

Looks like a sic time !

[@craigcarnachan7153]

Cool vid dudes .. Trickier with a 6mtr Tunnel Hull lol ..

[@MrNZMade]

Epic!

[@shadyvdop1654]

love the jump

[@WILSON.1]

haha, EPIC!!

[@SteveWrightNZ]

LOL awesome,

[@genmaxpain]

how much does one of these set you back as a kit? would love to go up and down the manawatu river lol start at the manawatu gorge and go all the way to foxton beach

[@robbrice2750]

[@TheDaltonmichaels]

do these use an open loop cooling system ?? if so has anyone ever made a selective valve that would use the engines open loop cooling system to suck water out of the hull in instances were you get water in the boat. it would function as a bilge pump only when needed while adding minimum weight? I know its possible but curious of potential issues and functionality.

[@jasoncampbell172]

Dalton Michaels+ It would be easier just to run separate bilge system, whole system weighs about 12oz so it's lite, runs off 12volts produced by engine.

[@LOAFofNAM]

the jetski motor and pump create a venturi and do act as a permanent bilge but we also run a manual bilge pump for the bigger amounts of water

[@ROTAXD]

Dalton Michaels I think a simple auto bailer system would work on these. An auto bailer in essence uses the motion of the water coming out of the jet nozzle to "vacuum" the water in the hull out through a tube. The system has a check valve so water will not backflow into the hull. Simple, requires no wiring. thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/msDtC8e64lErzw9K2eyMOnw.jpg

[@TheDaltonmichaels]

thanks guys , i was mostly curious because i watched another video of one of these ( or similar one i dont know the brand or set up) sink when it turned 90 degrees to the river flow and water was coming over a rock and into the boat. this was a very particular situation and not likely to repeat but still a real issue if no bilge pump is present. and then of coarse because of the remote lactation they had to have a helicopter air lift the boat from the bottom of the river.

[@lassetrolle2457]

cool

[@farhanb4914]

epic

[@tanders199476]

Sweet boats! Song?

[@LOAFofNAM]

Kiwi band called Shihad, Home again, is the song

[@tanders199476]

LOAFofNAM Thanks!

[@themotobois5857]

what engine are used in these things

[@LOAFofNAM]

Both boats are using jetski engines and pumps

[@samburris9068]

Do you have plans for this... if so are they up for purchase

[@LOAFofNAM]

Search Thomashewitv8 on you tube he is selling them

[@neilpederson5212]

Check out jetset

[@nguyennhi3092]

WTF

[@256ttucker]

destroying fish habitat one small river at a time.

[@dustinshort6207]

Thomas Tucker I find that really funny and also concerning at the same time.

[@256ttucker]

allthings possible I do see how this could be really fun, Hell I have a big bass boat (bullet) with a big motor but these small creeks and rivers can't take this abuse like a damed up river or large lakes. Eventually places like this will be no more because of folks like this.

[@justinoclaire6806]

Thomas Tucker totally disrespectful....this should not be legal...no wake zone...

[@256ttucker]

beechkingd believe he's saying it should be a no wake zone. so what if it floods, yes fish survive it but it doesn't always help and I'm sure some fish or animals don't survive a flood so why do more damage with boats. it doesn't flood every weekend.

[@256ttucker]

You obviously aren't around boats and water very much because it does and will damage the river and it's surroundings.

[@flintfinderkb]

another cool looking video I could not finish because of the STUPID FEKING MUSIC!!

[@UkKiwi]

flintfinderkb fuck off, the song is a cultural classic from the country it's filmed in. Find the mute button if it bothers you so much

[@flintfinderkb]

choppedasbro uh oh. got his wittle feelings hurt over his culturally garbage music.

[@MrNickjberry]

Way to churn up small waterways for no reason other than selfish fun. Try drifting down the river and actually looking at your surroundings.

[@Freedom-Buoy-LLC]

True that!!! Lots of Scenery out there.

[@dphotos007]

Wait a minute they have ear phones but they are wearing no helmets with all that crap they have in that river including another boat horsing around. Someone is going to lose their head very quickly with they.way they are driving. Please get rid of that music, that gave me a major headache.
