Thrilling RiverRat Jet Boat Adventure On The Flooded Potomac River - Plus Bonus Side Excursions!

Up and down the Potomac on a 50-mile-long RiverRat jet boat adventure. The river was a little high and muddy but some side creeks looked very refreshing.
As always this is a how to metal detecting outdoor adventure vlog that is family friendly and hopefully a fun video.
About Aquachigger:
I like to make videos that promote my lifestyle of outdoor adventure, metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed. I keep my KZbin "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
I hope to see you guys out there!

Just a short jet boat ride tonight. 25 miles up and 25 miles down. I had a blast! Just waiting for the river levels to drop so we can do some metal detecting.

Be safe Chigg!

[@revelersridge136]

What, type of boat is this again…? And how where can I get one?

[@BrianRandolph-jt5vp]

I think I sent you that link to the boat company about 5 years ago. If not longer.

[@pepepepito623]

Catch a fish?

[@stevebroadway3713]

I could tell watching the video that the water level looked like it was up, a bit muddy too in places like it had rained recently. Or up river, at least. Thanks for the video!

[@JustPlainSteve5372]

Beautiful scenery! And we didn't even have to 'Hold our Breath!

[@MyYT_2024]

Always enjoy going along for a ride on the river with you, Beau. Thanks, and look forward to more river videos this summer.

[@onodagaufo6187]

That's got to be an awesome feeling.

[@Mag_Aoidh]

Holy cow, that’s a fast duck!

[@douglaskerr6813]

Its good to see chigs navy out on the waterways

[@AndrexT]

the River Rat is 'on plane' a lot better than when you first got it. That was a lovely trip.

[@paulkick7870]

It always looks like you are "Flying" up the river until you see a duck actually fly up the river in front of you. Thanks for the fun!

[@richardklapka5147]

Today's adventure is all about "The Journey to the secret fishing hole". I saw you make one cast,lol. I love that little river rocket! Rk.

[@glennwebster1675]

I wondered when you were going to break that thing out again.... Looks like a fun river... Thanks for the ride........ 👍

[@mrj10101]

That’s someone that knows the river well

[@deanjoon1527]

[@Yinzzy656]

[@Sizzorfite]

Holy crap that looks fun... Weeee 🤣

[@susansmith6680]

That is a cool perspective being so low in the water.

[@wixsights2945]

Nothing like the smell of napalm in the morning. Surfs up!

[@aquachigger]

lol... I tried to model my boat after the PBR from that.

[@artsimpson3670]

Woah! memories. Sitting on the bridge of a river boat in Dang Ha eating a can of C rat peaches watching Phantoms doing napalm runs thinking how stupid it is that people can't just get along.

[@wixsights2945]

Going under that old archway bridge gave me the willies.

[@rogerallen6644]

Nice little ride!

[@rickyb2200]

Nice boat ride along , I thought you were going Fishing when you made that cast to the bank. Thanks Chigg great video.

[@aquachigger]

I did fish and caught a few.

[@user-Icicleandfireball]

42nd like, love all the videos, chigg, especially the metal detecting.

[@Snarkapotamus]

Funny how sure that duck seemed to be that you weren't going any further up river!

[@lenoraeaton]

River looks pretty muddy!😊👍

[@TheStwat]

Brilliant. :)

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Not another boat in sight (jet or otherwise!) -- The green lure looked perfect to catch a civil war bayonet!!! 😁😁😁😁

[@FreeSpiritBudgieLady]

You do realise you live in a wild paradise don’t you?. Really enjoyed the video. Makes me want to buy a speed boat and run the Mersey river🙄☺️💐

[@exmethol]

Did the beaver get your tongue?

[@eastside907ak9]

[@llc1976]

[@TheSpectorandThedetector1512]

Nice ride man!

[@stevebroadway3713]

Thanks for the video. Nice outdoor scenery on the river. Hope you caught a fish.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Love the old bridges -- especially that one stone arch bridge that looks a little worse for wear!!!

[@maryhecht1550]

I used to live along the Potomac...had to paint the basement even though it didn't look like it needed it

[@QuestForDetails]

that was nice , got off work sat down, took a boat ride, thank you !!

[@patdenney7046]

Hit some jumps!! Go over some logs come on you can do it !!!!

[@friendshipranger]

You sure go under a lot of bridges!

[@maryhecht1550]

Lol dammit...love hearing the slap of water on boat

[@crispy63]

Now that was fun on my 70” HDTV. Yea I said it.

[@joshuataft5541]

Sweet point if veiw.. we were called river 🐀 rats for a few years as younger men..we were on the water alot..Connecticut river nh vt..i think from Canada down

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

[@williamburdon6993]

You are caaaarrraaaaazy , One o these days , your going to learn what it feels like to fly without an airplane, I hope you survive it.

[@advenzures]

👊🤩👍

[@TinkeringPaul]

You should post some fishing videos. You’re riding around in some prime smallmouth areas!

[@aquachigger]

Okay...will do. I do fish a bit.

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good evening from Southeast South Dakota

[@putteslaintxtbks5166]

A bit of the feel of race car pro, even a tiny bit of white waters. Is that a log or a gator?

[@aquachigger]

No gators here, maybe a puffed up poisoned pig?

[@hardyakka6200]

I enjoyed that, but god awfully sea sick

[@stevelaconte8802]

How shallow of water can you go with them?

[@oldbamadirt2148]

😆 My Wife Will Just Tell Me No. 😎👍✌

[@rubberslug2153]

I should be fishing.

[@JOECorsoNova]

Cool video for sure! Also impressed with the stability of the camera!!!!!!! Was it a GoPro?

[@randlerichardson5826]

Chigg hey

[@Joseph-p2h]

What kind of milage you getting on that thing

[@noob26]

I really wish you’d wear a life jacket when jet boating.

[@aquachigger]

I actually had one on most of the trip.

[@Joseph-p2h]

Does the jet boat have a flat bottom

[@upallnyte2000]

Do you still have one for Lindsey to pilot.

[@aquachigger]

Just a Mokai.

[@johnramirez5032]

Hey you! You ever run onto a sand bar or hit a log? I am feeeking out riding with you! I have a small boat. 10ft 6in and its a out board with a 5 hp motor. Top speed is 15 mph and thats plenty fast for me. ThT ric De

[@aquachigger]

It's made to jump logs and bash rocks. Well, at least it's supposed the handle them.

[@johnramirez5032]

@@aquachigger yes there no comparison to an outboard motor. Well your still here! I have a plastic portaboat. Its fine for small lakes. Still gotta look for hazards like floating logs and people's. Thanks for the responce!

[@zubackvision]

Did you catch anything?

[@Trulydigginhistory]

did ya catch anything

[@tomnickell1276]

How deep is the Potomac river??

[@davestelling]

P.S. Should have a Chigg's Navy flag on the transon?

[@shake9574]

How about a fishing video?

[@rapiddog1491]

That "Beau Boat" must go thru some pile of fuel.

[@bobbystaley6559]

We miss you Chigg

[@maryhecht1550]

Ewww that was dicey

[@mrben6573]

This video is even better if you play it and the theme song from Predator at the same time.

[@cwstevens71]

How many miles can you go on a tank of fuel?

[@aquachigger]

Prolly 70+ if I don't go crazy.

[@raynin]

I was under my wife's car trying to fix her rattling heat shield. Doh!

[@aquachigger]

Well, did ya?

[@raynin]

@aquachigger of course! my son helped, too! those cheap bolts rust off of the catalytic converter heat shield all the time.

[@wixsights2945]

Don't go mango hunting, tigers out there.

[@aquachigger]

Never leave the boat, man.

[@sparkplug5481]

What’s the draft of that boat?

[@aquachigger]

At speed? a couple of inches.

[@tazwell1000]

boat ride WTF

[@Lost_AtSea_]

Don’t hit a rock and take out your prop. I’ve done that on the Mississippi and it’s not fun.

[@aquachigger]

No prop, it's a jet and can bounce off of rocks.

[@Lost_AtSea_]

@@aquachigger oh wow awesome, I didn’t know. Have fun then!
