MORE SPEED! WE ADDED 5 MPH TO OUR JET BOAT FOR JUST $600!!!
It's rare when a product works as advertised AND bolts-on like it's supposed to. This is not a sponsored video we are just passing along the good vibes about an excellent product from Place Diverter and Controls. In episode 170 of Mike Finnegan's Garage we swapped nozzles on the back of our Berkeley jet drive, which powers our 1976 Rogers Bonneville TR and GAINED three mph of top end speed. Our butt-dyno also says this mod also increased the boat's holeshot. We also adjusted the angle of the nozzle and gained another two mph of top end speed. The nozzle swap took less than twenty minutes to complete and required no drilling, no wiring, and no grinding. It was just that easy! Want more info? go here:

They're not done with it either. Next race is a trailer race, backing, jumping, etc. A broke in half boat is not going to get any better after the trailer race
You may want to rewatch james last video again. They split the seam between the top and bottom half of the hull, all the way around.

@@alexcorona Motor Tends lineup is sliding downhill especially due to forced changes of show types like sticking the guys at garage squad with bogi, it all seems so contrived and not believable. Where I used to watch most of the shows on the channel now I only watch a select few. If they keep it up I’ll cancel my paid subscription altogether.
I have to commend you Mike, the music in your vids is always top notch. That opening was perfect.
I remember when my local lake in Kansas got that low. Floating docks not floating, boat ramps unusable... They had the spillway shut as much as possible. I remember hanging out there one night on one of the docks with some friends. 24 hours later I couldn't even get to the end of that dock. It was underwater. The whole lake level rose so much from the storms that night that even opening the spillway completely couldn't stop it. We had a massive cell stall out right on top of the lake and then slowly moved northeast (upstream obviously) followed by a few more waves of storms that did basically the same. It was mind blowing!

I knew bugger all about jet boats before I started to follow your channel, im still no expert but I just love the way you guys roll, you explain everything and you are not afraid to show some of the nuts and bolts stuff. If I'm being honest that's what interests me the most I like the engineering behind all things fast its never boring. For me the enjoyment comes from watching a build from an idea through to it hitting the road or now the water. At some point I will build myself a jet boat the only thing holding me back is the water is always bloody freezing here in Scotland, thank you all so much for sharing your projects with us and also for the music I've regularly used shazam to find music used on your shows, thank you guys again for all this.

As a guy who grew up around jet boats and v drives my whole life in NorCal on lakes and the California delta, loving this content man!
3mph with the nozzle change, and 2mph with the angle. LET'S GOOOO BOYS!! good stuff.
Every comment: "Jackstand's boat broke in half!" I'm sure Mike knows that now. These videos aren't broadcast live.
A tough day at 'the office',and smiles all around.(Was I the only 1 expecting him to run out of fuel?)
Its why I like this channel when its not doing give aways. It reminds me of the speed shows (minus the music) from the mid 70's.
Place diverter is a great company. 10/10 would recommend.
It's funny how non-boaters will "$600 for 5mph? That not worth it!!" But adding 1mph generally takes 10-15hp, which takes $1000-$1500.
The Boat content never gets old just like the renegade Boat it'll never die still remember the Boat kill(roadkill) episode when you guys swapped the muscle truck engine in it drove the jet boat then pulled the engine and went back into the muscle truck
Interesting watching the changes to the nozzle and the angle and seeing the speed come up
The Rodgers is a really cool old jet boat. Place Diverter are the best. The best riding and fastest Jet boat I had was a 74 JR Fiberglass (KONA) Makia bubble deck. Unfortunately they were all Olds big blocks but still very fun.

I miss my '78 Kona with a 460 Ford. It would jump like that when it fired up. It was so much fun. Not to mention the V8 screaming through the river valleys in Northern ID and WA
Finnegan makes me want to smash icons all day long.
Bad ass - I bought the blue Corporate Jet from Tim Place last year. The 76 Rogers Bonneville TR is a sexy hull for sure!

Sweet. That boat is so cool.

Always a pleasure watching man ... Hope to see that socal caddy come up here soon you should definitely spray it..
I had a 1975 Wriedt Spoiler with the 455. It loved the nitro! That boat would crab sideways when you tried to keep the thrust neutral. Tons of fun!!

Despite what one would think, a Venturi, (like what the various inserts are) actually DECREASES the pressure of the water while increasing its kinetic energy. Seems counterintuitive but it is what it is.

You guys should make a custom nozzle that comes up out of the water by a foot so the blast of water is above the surface of the lake (river)...to see if the boat is propelled more by having the jet pushing against the water or if the entire force created by the thrust is just the reaction of the jet pumps action...that would be a great video...thanks for the awesome content fellers
We just sold out 17ft sea hunt boat 90hp for 4k. Nothing wrong with it. Still shines the day we got it. Just wanted more space. 😆
Mike F hopefully a RunnerBottom project in the future.
If you need a stand in Sleekcraft SST to race (same hull as Jackstand's), we have one Hartwell with a pitiful stock 454. We'd love to run with you
The boat does look good out there for sure.
Up here in pennsyltucky in winter, back when we had jet skis, we used to put on thick wet suits and use ice burgs as race buoys.
