Brings back many happy memories of Jet boating in New Zealand in the late '70's and the first World jet Boat Championships. Spent a lot of time over last few years in Idaho and think it is one of America's best kept secrets!
Really enjoyed watching this vid. Of course, as a professional marine mechanic, I know that the life of your jet drives are dramatically shortened each time you guys jump, with the sand being sucked into the water intake, and ripping the shaft seals to shreds before destroying the bearings and devistating the contour of the drive impeller. But hey, its not my equipment, and I'm not paying for the damage, so..."Fly On, Dudes!" You rock. See you at the repair shop in a couple weeks.
Hamilton never claimed to have invented the jet boat. He once said "I do not claim to have invented marine jet propulsion. The honour belongs to a gentleman named Archimedes, who lived some years ago."
Bad as$, seriously nice boats & a perfect song choice loved it & the video. Keep up the the good work & fun times!! One of my favorite past times & another BLS song ~ Fire it up!!
The music matches the video well. Cool video. I'm a jet boat operator with a 100 ton masters. Lets me know I may not need to be so careful. Looks like a blast. Takes some guts to just step up and run over some stuff like that.
Impressive. Idaho happens to be the jet boat capitol. With 1 or 2 builders across the border in Washington. If the builder is really good this is only half the stuff these boats can do. And without your boat hull going to "shit". Impressive video guys.
I gave you a thumbs up but then I saw that poor moose. BooHoo :( Back to the boat. Those hulls sure can take a beating! That would scare me jumping over land, though. The spin outs I just posted is more than enough for MY stomach!!
HELL YAAAA!!! Damm good video that boat kicks ass I'm going to build something similar for my area out here in the Sacramento delta off the SF bay I need something that'll take to the mud and shallows in some of the islands locally
@milescarter1 Richard Schulzkump The Propeller Company LHC,AZ The boat has one of four motors; we might expect a big block but their bouncing around too much.My opinion- a 460,454, 350, it could be old 455 if they borrowed Gramps motor. My guess is a 350 chevy- it keeps the motor weight down, maintains speed- though they arent going very fast - its probably a 40 to 45mph boat- a bit optimistic- they have enough speed to do what they are doing- looks like a damn good time...
Yes, the music is quite fine. The boat, you have to be kidding me? I have seen a lot of things in my days; I have never seen a boat so perfect and, perfect. Mark my words, when I win the lottery and am on television, my shout-out will be to SJX tellin them I'm going there next. Did I mention perfect?
Also I guess there is a 'grid' on the intake - however I also assume that the impeller will be affected by stones/debris being abrasive and damaging it over time?
It's a 3/16 aluminum hull with UHMW plastic. I'm guessing the keel may have additional plate. These boat hulls can pound off the worst impacts no worse for the wear. It's going to hurt you before it hurts the boat. Merc sportjet motors are damn near bulletproof. Pull the rocks out of the intake and keep going. They won't run in gravel for long, but that's why impellers and wear rings are replaceable. Black Label Society is good shit too.

A 4X4 boat - very nicely done !!!!

Had to thumbs up for BLS & those bad ass SJX's.. Good times!

Awesome video and kick ass song!
Runnin shine in your jet boat.
You know, this is really badass. Bet they could make a great rescue craft too.

THAT is some goddamn cowboy shit rite there!!!! You guys are my new heroes!!!!
sick. I just bought a boat and now I want one of these.
A lot, its very sturdy and very light!
after the first jump i was so glad that the video is 4 and a half minutes long!
awesome video and cool boat
What Log Jam? Too much fun!!!
Nice video. You guys rock.
Super sweet!! but why is the same footage in the other vids too??
The beach combers relic is back!
This looks like fun!
I gave you a thumbs up but then I saw that poor moose. BooHoo :( Back to the boat. Those hulls sure can take a beating! That would scare me jumping over land, though. The spin outs I just posted is more than enough for MY stomach!!
Bad ass Vid. BLS. For life.
Wow, those are some ballsy stunts! I'm guessing the black material on the bottom is UHMW?
And I thought #boats were only for #water ! Awesome collection by +insaneBoaters of what SJX #Jet Boats can do!
I bet the guys at the factory love these guys. "Great, we gotta sand and paint all the bottoms AGAIN."
That looks like a blast!
Drinkin' beers, jumpin' boats and killin' shit..Murica!
+Al Brown
Fuck Yeah!
And that looks like a workout in itself!
This is bad ass brother.
Can you bring one to Mud Creek Alabama and try it out on the Lilly pads and moss?
FANTASTIC!
Dam great video! America!
видео просто супер.музыка в тему.Молодцы,я тоже так хочу.Лодки просто классные
The hulls on those boats must be reinforced very well Id love to see the design
Jet powered john boats! Love it!
Tunnel Hulls
HELL YAAAA!!! Damm good video that boat kicks ass I'm going to build something similar for my area out here in the Sacramento delta off the SF bay I need something that'll take to the mud and shallows in some of the islands locally
Very nice. Is there some kind of screening to keep rocks out of the jet pump?
4 minutes of my life I will never get back
The best part is watching the passenger hang on for his life!
Looks like a lot of fun! What does the SJX has for power?
very nice boat.
what kind of Boat is that what model????. Never seen this style before. Nice. Good choice of music.

That looks like fun!
I do believe you just created a new sport👍
Awesome boats .... I want one.
Black Label Society, jumping jet boats, and hunting? You dudes know how to have a good time.
Them Duke boys are up to no good again!
looks like fun!!! who is the artist with the song?
Black Label Society - The Blessed Hellride! beautiful greeting from germany!
How do you keep from caveating the pump and keep the grate clean? And look's like alot of fun!! just curious?
where is this place? very cool video
Now that's something. The best fun....
Wow! Pretty slick!

plus the damage to the keel of the haul,much less all the broken ribs to re weld,lol,but yes still freaking awesome,
cool stuff! But not one life jacket being worn?
How much do these run? I'm in the market for a jet boat and these just look like tons of fun.
Amazing footage And great music.... May I know name And model of the boats??? I'm looking for a jet river boat And seems perfect!!
"Not intended for marketing or sale of boats" Yeah, but now I want one!!!!
Badass boats !
kick ass! I can't wait to try it with my rC boat the Balaenoptera Musculus hahaha.
Man you could get out to the best fishing spots in a hurry with that little toy. Hahaha
Good video
Aaaah... Remember that every time when you spawned a Jetmax in GTA SA just to jump out of water just like these guys? ;)
that looks fun ass hell and I would love to see the dents at the bottom of the boat
Pretty cool.
its a good way to keep the bottom clean
James Bond eat your heart out! Nice Vid.
Is the water down or is that just the way it always looks there? If it is down, then why is it so low?
great song
The sjx website has clips from this video on their homepage
хорошо мужики поразвлекались!))) и музыка, - ну просто супер как в тему!
do you need to shut the pump down when you hit the dirt
+elwood bigman na u gotta rev it right up whilst going across the land,got it rev the shit out of then engin and everythink hunkie dory,right,got it.
is that poly on the bottom or frogspit ?
ever suck up rocks? or u guys got a way to prevent that on these boats
how fast do these boats run
Der Wahnsinn wie geht das
SUper Video echt geil
I do this on Just cause 2 all the time :D
what kind of powerplant powers its big jetpump?
Great way to save on props!
Does this void the warranty?
Jet drives are slow to accelerate. But are great for jumping.!
lovely.
Gotta get me one of these.
Why is it that every water basin in the country seems to be ridiculously low?
Does foreign material not get sucked into the intake?
Also I guess there is a 'grid' on the intake - however I also assume that the impeller will be affected by stones/debris being abrasive and damaging it over time?
Wow! Some real impressive machines there. If only my finances allowed....

It's going to hurt you before it hurts the boat. Merc sportjet motors are damn near bulletproof. Pull the rocks out of the intake and keep going.

badass boat
Thats bad ass minus music
holy shit that looks fun
YEP pretty sure I NEED one of these!!!
I would love to own two of these boats for tourism on the Albany River in Ontario Canada.Do they finance???????
How do you keep dirt and rocks from getting into the intake when you hit the dirt?
what are the bottom of these boats made of?! surely cant just be fiberglass...
holy shit that is freakin awesome
