Every type of V-Drive you could think of. Nice video work..

[@oxmachines]

Oh guys I want one, I want one so bad, I’m in love with the sound of $ burning loud and fast.

[@jebucha]

Great camera work!

[@hankschrader149]

as a kid I used to water ski behind a flat bottom v drive with a 428 dual quad Ford motor in it up here in Wa state. the boat was built in California in the 60's. and I always thought it was an unusual boat being that it was a v drive and not a jet drive. after seeing these vids now I know that it wasn't so unusual of a boat it was from California and that seems to be the norm vs all the jet boats we had up here in Washington

[@ronbaker2673]

I had a similar childhood my dad had a flat bottom V-drive we used to water ski behind he also had a Ford motor most of my other friends didn't even know their fathers

...and at least one jet drive .. it's at 37:46(?) Great video. Each one of them was my favorite boat. I was hoping to see one of them take on that crazy outboard. It looked like the one with the checkers on the whale tail is worthy of such a paint job, huh? I noticed one guy had a lanyard hooked to his vest. I assume the other end of it was hooked to his coil wire. That's a smart move, not just to stop the boat from becoming an unmanned missile if he gets bounced out but to keep that motor from blowing a head gasket if it capsizes. I'm surprised not more people do that...

Deadman's should be required

+craig appelt Your welcome buddy!

[@carlosextra300]

That a good way to start the year, very nice video. I have a couple of questions, so they are the fins which lie beneath the boat and have mobility? The second is that they are "would baffle that are in the back of the boat in the mirror or rear bench? Greetings and a happy 2016!

[@stetlerb]

[@vdrivevideo]

[@stetlerb]

thx

[@chrisbeckycarrs4796]

Sweet

[@race2race1]

cool video nicely done.

[@richr909]

I always wanted to ask you jet boat guys a question. Why a jet boat and not something like a 22' Donzi? Are they faster or more fun to drive or something than an I/O boat? They def sound better than normal thu hull boats that's for sure.

[@vdrivevideo]

These aren't jet boats. Well, there is 1 jet late in the vid. These boats were designed with Hot Rodding in mind. Like a corvette, muscle car or Hot Rod small and light with big power is the recipe. A 22 Donzi would be like riding in a Camper van compared to zo6. Both have they're place and most people require more creature comforts than a zo6 or Hot Rod boat provides. I think the best of both worlds is having one of each.

[@geraispadilla213]

Jet boats are perfect for places with sand bars. Havisu is a good example.

[@scottwins2]

Safety takes last place with this group for sure

[@StrokerAce3983]

well i guess everyone but 2 people said the hell with wearing a helmet lol.
