Knowhow, tools, time, and money and garage space. Hats off to all who got their boat in the water that day. I know how challenging that can be. 24 years now with my 1968 Aquacraft V-drive flattie running a 455 Pontiac.

sometimes people like me would rather see a good burnout,than make a 10 second pass lol....that would be me,lol this guy loves the old rooster tail....its all about fun

mike walsh excatly!! It’s all about fun!!

Cameraman loved the jet. A typical jet slow, loud and relatively easy to drive. The flatbottom (hardest to drive) and the picklefork we're the true boats.

Jetavators make nice rainbows.

He is just showing how well his pump is working!

The jet boat was foolish to have his jetavator up. Cost him big time. The v-drive still would have won but it would have been closer.

I enjoyed your clip.

kick ass video ! where a bouts on the fraser was this taken ? I'm from Surrey but that was a long time ago .

Do you guys still play on the Fraser ? heading down that way this week and looking for some cool spots to play with my blown BBC V-Drive.

Awesome boats! Don't suppose you've got another video of the jet with his diverter down? Would be interesting to see just how fast it could be

Didn't realize we had so many hot boats on the Fraser. Nice. Do you launch in Bedford channel? It's been a long time since I've had the old V-Drive running, but I will see you out there in the summer.

one day he'll grow up & get a v-drive, that's unless he's not too scared.

Hey V-drive guys come follow me up a river sometime you'll never make it try to make a turn with me let's put our boat at the dock let's see you make your boat go sideways the drives are faster but that's it I'll beat you in every other way

That guy needs to trim that jet nozzle down.. he is blowing all the water into the air that's why his speed is slow..it should blow straight back not up. notice how much faster the pickle fork boat is!

น้ำกระจายแรง แต่ความเร็วไม่เร็วเท่าไหร่

Ive never understood the big rooster tail thing. I just want to go fast.

V-drives are where it's at. Period.

But jets get the chicks!

V-drive vs jet is not a fair match. Jet wastes so much energy moving water vs the v-drive. Not to mention having that trim on the jet pointed at the sky.

A Lot of Noise,,, A Lot of Water,,, But Very Few Jet Boats Ever See The Plus Side of 70 MPH,,, Do You Homework,,,, V Drives Forever,,, Running a Jet Water Pick ,,, Against a V Drive,,, is Like Running a Ground Pounding Harley,,, Against a Vespa Motor Scooter,,,

That pickle fork was fast but not nearly as cool as rooster tail. Not as fun either pickle forks are only good for strait

david schmidt that's great Dave . than you should know that it's water , not smoke . most any flatty should beat a jet in a race . if you read the title of the vid ,it's PLAYIN on the river . we never raced , why would I , buddies pickle would clearly kill me! I wish I had a dollar for all the guy that said they had a faster ,better ,more expensive toy, but nobody ever see's it. So were can we see your ,sorry I didn't get what kind, boat at 107?? You may also want to research how a jet works ,the height of the place divertor (they haven't used jetovators in a few years now) just changes the attitude of the boat. The name of the game that day was "wheelies".. To bad one couldn't adjust some peoples attitude as easily.

Somebody needs camera work lessons

If he would learn what trimming the jet was for her would have been faster. Jet-o-vators weren't designed to "look cool" throwing and absurd roost. Plus it looks ridiculous when it's trimmed too much and when people just think they look cool making passes with an over trimmed place diverter.

Just batting around some jet boat banter they are, jets rule 😎👍👍☝

Never ceases to amaze me when guys think they look cool pointing a fire hose in the air and calling it a "rooster tail"". Just silly ass wannabes. If you want to throw a genuine rooster tail, the ONLY way to do it is to run a prop on the surface like this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a3h_2NKgkcmfp7Q.html . Throwing all your thrust away just makes you look lame.
