Idaho has some of the most serious rapids in the USA.....Got to give respect to GM for those LSA marine power plants....They are pretty AWESOME in those boats. Those boats impress me more in low water conditions getting up shallow streams that seem an impossible task.....The term "SEND IT!" comes quickly to mind when navigating a river in a full size Jet Boat. Lewiston , Idaho is one of the places some of those are built.

[@supra1jzed]

Airboats are often used for extreme water rescues. We had one growing up in NY. Yankee Airboat Company. We had a 1.5" teflon armor plate the full length underneath and side armor. It was built for rapids and ice rescues. They actually do quite well in rapids since their propulsion isn't in the water at all. So other than drag itself, water speed is irrelevant. If you ever watched or do watch the movie "Chain Reaction" with Keanu Reeves, he drives a Yankee Airboat across the frozen lake. Very very similar to the one we had. Ours didn't have the rescue equipment always on it. We did have it, in case it was needed. The towns around us knew of the boat and would sometimes call us for a true emergency.

I watched the BLM pull 2 of those things off trailers at the Cisco Boat Launch, on the Colorado River, and drive strait up the whitewater at 2 a.m. to rescue some rafters that were stranded in a very steep walled part of the canyon, right on the Colorado/Utah border. All you could see were the spotlights, and hear these V-8's opening up as they forced their way up the river till the sound disappeared. 3 hours later, here they come with everyone cold, but alive!

@@huh4233 yeah, they are virtually unstoppable and can take severe hits with the armor plating. One winter we were out on the St Lawrence to screw around on the ice. First, if you wanna know pants shitting speed in a "normal" boat... airboat on ice with Teflon armor. Fuck. But we hit a jagged falt line and absolutely sent the boat. It gouged the Teflon about 2" wide and 1/2" deep. The hull itself was unscathed and all of our kidneys were on a short paincation. We pounded up and against rocks in rapids, beaches... basically whatever the F we wanted. But with propulsion being airborne, the water could be doing 60mph and we could probably still easily achieve 40mph. Going up river in the channel it was actually faster than the Sea-Doo jet boat we also had. Down river the Sea-Doo had us by several MPH. 10-15 I'd guess.

Great to see Cleeter content in the great northwest!!!!

My whole life I've wanted one of those boats. Ever since seeing them while growing up in Idaho. They're amazing.

[@IDAHOJAKE]

Hell ya brother you’re here where I live. That looks like the salmon river. I love Idaho !

[@lanedayton7848]

S. Fork Payette river

[@IDAHOJAKE]

@@lanedayton7848 oh ya next to highway to McCall right near cougar mountain

Thats looks like a rough ride on video, i cant imagine what it feels like being in there. Somebody said its amazing how hard water is, i found that out at 25mph behind a ski boat with a 6’ ski pole on a knee board. I made a hard right cut into a 3-4’ wake at probably 40-50mph and when i hit the wake i was flying with the birds until the wind nosed the front of the board down and i had no time to prepare for the impact, i woke up to EMTs all around me wondering wtf happened. Good day on the water for sure though.

The air ride seats in the bean marine fabrication (bmf) boats make for an awesome ride (considering what you're going through)

[@frankdesbaux]

The Hamilton Jet unit makes boating great fun. Another fantastic invention that came out of New Zealand.

[@barrishautomotive]

I can assure you, Idaho whitewater gets a lot gnarlier than that. That's the South Fork of the Payette River. Fun run for sure, but not particularly hardcore.

[@MT2Ocean]

I was thinking " they taking a run up the lochsa during runoff?" ... still fun

[@MeTheTherapist]

@@MT2Ocean the water would be so white there boats would be sucking air.

[@motokurt13]

I was literally just saying the same thing lol. This is about 30 min from my place. Still a great time rippin up and down the South Fork and fishing it too.

[@ryanlamfers8692]

You gotta ease them in to it a bit, can't throw them in the deep end right away.

[@michaeljacques7336]

What section of what river was this?
