Taking the Solar Strela with 30hp jet up the 10 Mile River Dutchess County, NY!

Seeing how far we can take the jet boat up the 10 Mile River. We got pretty far, made it from New Milford, CT to Dover, NY! The Solar Strela performed great!

They attacked this river like a couple-a rapid dogs!

I love your adventures Mike and copilot…thanks for sharing.

Love your content brother ever since I saw that Masshole video. You and Bob Simmons inspired me to join the Pittsburgh Grotto/NSS I'm running for VP of my grotto now🙂 hope to cross paths one day

[@mikesandone2652]

wowww! So happy my video inspired you to take that path. I'm sure we will meet at some point!

[@davidharris241]

Congratulations on making it past that step rapid and up into that beautiful farm land. I'll bet the inhabitants don't hear boat motors very often, if at all. Thanks for sharing your exhilarating adventure, Mike. Wow!

[@mikesandone2652]

Yes towards the end you can hear some locals cheering for us as we came out of the 10 Mile into the Housatonic!

[@claytonellman4677]

The big rapid is called State Line rapid, check with local whitewater kayakers for accurate river info such as river levels to help you with your adventures

[@mikesandone2652]

Thanks for the info. I feel like we are the first to jet boat up a lot of these rapids so I usually er on the side of caution, a 15' 500 lbs boat can be a handful, so any so any info (beside just google earth imagery) would be very useful! Are there any kayaking clubs in CT you can recommend?

[@claytonellman4677]

Ct. chapter of AMC is a good place to start, Good luck, maybe we'll see you on the river!@@mikesandone2652

[@proche98able]

Is it legal to boat up on the 10 mile?

[@dimitriosfotopoulos3689]

Nothing steals away peace and tranquility on a quiet river like two idiots playing out their midlife crisis in an overpowered stink-boat, going full tilt boogie.

[@mikesandone2652]

totally understandable position, although I got a way better midlife crisis in the works! stay tuned!

[@jabberwockytdi8901]

It's an outboard????

[@mikesandone2652]

Yup Yamaha 40/30 jet with Woolridge poly intake
