as long as you trim the shit out of it and keep it from chine walking you'll be alright. That specific boat is very dangerous and i've seen it on the scream and fly fb page. It needs some hydraulic steering and boat balancing badly. you'll be alrihgt but please be safe. I've seen the flamingo do 70, not safely but it did it
Sprays it then it'll be all over. After the race is over. I can see James going Twin Turbos with Nitrous and a fresh Texas Speed 427 in it by the years over.
the antics and interaction between Cleet and Jackstand were gold. George and Jackstand could certainly fill that gap since Cleet is a busy man. Bring back showing us building, breaking, and fixing cool stuff!!! Hell yea brother 🦒🦅🇺🇸🦅🦒
James is the biggest drag racer of the lot, his boat should be called "technically legal" and he is a legend. The man will exploit any loophole he can find and everybody else looks like a sucker.
That boat is junk, Cleetus should have this in the bag. Wrong hull for a jet drive, has a junk jet to begin with, and jets are so inefficient that it will take him 3 times as much power to keep up. And that is if he rebuilds the jet and actually blueprints it, and we all know James doesn’t have the knowledge or skill to build a jet pump. Dude doesn’t even know that the headers are called “over the transom”, not “over the hull”.
Jackstand: here's a drivability mod for your boat: stick a big ol manual flywheel onto your engine instead of the flex plate! It'll make it start and idle wayy better, and will help the ignition timing stay stable, that was some harsh knocking I was hearing... A real flywheel with some mass will make everything better
Laughing my ass off on this video. So funny when you all were trashing James' boat and then it wouldn't start and then you all were pissed when it lit off and sounded like a beast. This is going to a fun series to watch!! Great editing btw.
If you win James, you should wire the family some more money that they were asking and name the boat after the original owner! It'll be like the water version of Ed and neighbor!!!
Reposting this comment for @scottshoemaker you should send thr family who sold you the big block boat more money and name it after the owner. Like Ed version of a boat
We need more videos like this of James wherever he is. Shop content would be killer. I started watching this channel when you were GT500 swapping Neighbor.
said it b4 and ill say it again.. the main guys and gals working for Cleet at the FF and the shops all need to make a 1-2 min daily vlog type video of something they thinks cool, maybe an update on something, or just showing what they will be doing for the day would be great... 4-5+ people doing this could be for very fun content.. doesnt need much editing to entertain us either lol
@@skewbiedew6705 the antics and interaction between Cleet and Jackstand were gold. George and Jackstand could certainly fill that gap since Cleet is a busy man. Bring back showing us building, breaking, and fixing cool stuff!!! Hell yea brother 🦒🦅🇺🇸🦅🦒
Love to see it 😂. It’ll prolly break before it gets on the water with James luck. But the jet boats have less performance but better run in shallow water.
I don't think anyone expected James rolling in some outboard motor boat but this open head BBC death trap was not what I was expecting for the budget. This thing is awesome on so many levels!
Don’t count out those 2 stroke out drives they’re efficient at putting the power down and light as can be. I have a 200hp Mercury that surprises a lot of people while actually being able to have a nice bench seat in the back.
Dude! Thank you all for bringing this kind of content cause its freaking Amazing. The engagement you guys have with your fans its incredible. Saludos desde Costa Rica
My father raced Jet boats back in the 70's and 80's. He raced in the unblown gas jet in the SDBA class and the modified gad jet in the NDBA class. The SDBA class limited engine CID to 496, the NDBA class had no limit to engine CID. His number was 119, Tennessee Lightning because the record for his class was 119 mph. He used a Jim Young blood hull...I was 14 then and he and I could lift the hull off the trailer! He bought a 560cid Big Block from a guy in TX. Back then you couldn't buy a crate motor in that CID. He put that motor in in the boat with a Hilborne fuel injection and a drilled out main pill and the boat flipped at half track. That hull would trap air between the water and the boat. A new hull was being designed by a local group of guys in Memphis. I was with dad when he was asked to invest in this New type of hull designed not to flip at high speeds. Your red boat looks just like that experimental hull purposed by the guys to my dad. It's a deep vee with tunnels at the rear to release air pressure. You guys may have a piece of jet boat history. Good luck!
Jackstand Jimmy 2021: "It's race car red. You know everything red always wins, you just ask Leroy." This man and his one liners are gonna kill me one day 🤣🤣🤣
I literally could not love this more. Someone needs to mock up a pink giraffe decal for the front of cleet’s boat. Jackstand ought to COVER the front of the boat with racing stickers a la Ruby’s bumper.
hahahaha you know it was his wife in the house whining "Charlie wut is that gawd offal racket out there ?" and "Is that them boys again ?"........Then he goes out to have a look and see's em with the boat hahahahaha. That's why he threw he hand up like "thank goodness that racket is done"
Man…I could watch these guys talk crap & show off their boats to each other all afternoon! I don’t usually like boats but I sure as hell do now. Very excited for this race.
Cleetus got ripped off by a Floridian crackhead while jack stands got a STEAL, i know cleetus was imagining ripping in it himself 😂 you could just hear how salty he was the whole time lol
I appreciate the heads up at the end of the video. I hate when things are built up and then you don’t hear anything forever. Can’t wait for this content, it will be worth the wait!!
This seems like some of the funniest stuff you have guys have done in a while and the anticipation for what’s going to happen I can’t wait and George came aboard just in time
Not necessarily, we don’t know what all is in that motor. Check out the truck named “jack black” on the snidertron3000 channel. Makes 570hp on the engine dyno with stock peanut port heads.
@@CoconutMigrating that definitely isn’t a stock idle, has a cam in it at minimum. We don’t know the compression ratio, don’t know cam specs, don’t know exactly what heads are on it or if it’s had head work, that motor could make more power than most would expect. If you have ever played with big blocks you would know how easy they are to get power out of.
Anyone that knows boats should realize that jet boat is very inefficient. Should accelerate well but top end, Cleetus' boat will easily smoke it...no sweat.
Thanks for the heads up at the end l seriously checked your channel several times to see if this vid was out and had to go to work and got to watch at when i got home! Love the content.
It may not win the competition(depending on how she runs lol) but i am stoked to see what James does with this boat after the competition is over. Hopefully he puts some tlc, time and money into it and keeps it. Would be sick if Cleetus gets one aswell and we get to see some big block jet boat builds and content on the channel! LETS GO! cheers from Ontario Canada
I'm sorry to say Cleet, but james(as long as he can start the thing), definitely has you two beat! He was idling at 30mph... Hahaha.. Its going to be a very good race!
@@JeepnNick i hope to god none of them are hitting 75 or 80 lol, have you ever been on a small boat going anywhere close to that? going that fast on the water messing around and someone is gonna get killed.

Love these challenge videos. Reminds me of the top gear ones where its all about finding used stuff and modding it. Could watch you guys do these all day
George spraying a water hose at the impeller intake and redlining it while it’s not ever pumping water was the funniest part of the video. That impeller is cooked, overheating on race day for sure
Ol Flamingo ain’t even worried 😎
it should be
He’s worried

Jackstand gonna get u out the hole , ole flamingo gonna get him out the back door tho
That laughing George intro loool
This is becoming the true American Top Gear that nobody saw coming. Just awesome.
I liken the channel to a cross between top gear and jackass.
05:24 I have a RUclips channel, Is it okay if we film? As they film it...Priceless....Thanks for asking Jack Stand.
Unpopular opinion: Top Gear sucked. This channel is awesome.
@@androiduberalles us top gear was cheeks
The original UK top gear will stand the test of time as entertainment for the automotive enthusiasts
Except it's better, cause the jokes aren't scripted.
James: “I got enough budget to spray the house down on this thing” 😂 and there it is. Was waiting for that comment lol.
I lol'ed pretty hard when he said that😂😂😂
Why half do things when you can go full send
@@LolPepperGate Same.
Sprays it then it'll be all over. After the race is over. I can see James going Twin Turbos with Nitrous and a fresh Texas Speed 427 in it by the years over.
I was a we bit suprised it wasnt already set up
jackstand FTW! Uncork the headers, turn off the water injection to the pipes and watch it come alive. :)
Tips from a pro!
You gotta donate your boat's name to Jackstand. If his blows up or wins, either way it'll be "Game Over".
You need to be the judge!!
I knew I’d fine you here
Hey Finnegan is it a sleek craft tri tunnel hall. What kinda pump is on it a jacuzzi
The James and ty filming while on the trip was GOLDEN. Keep giving them more of their own filming time it’s 👍🏻
exactly
Yes please!
“If we had a red bull this thing would have done a kick flip” lmao tye
Almost like watching wild golden retriever's chase bald eagles down the bank of a river of fresh Mountain Dew..
the antics and interaction between Cleet and Jackstand were gold. George and Jackstand could certainly fill that gap since Cleet is a busy man. Bring back showing us building, breaking, and fixing cool stuff!!! Hell yea brother 🦒🦅🇺🇸🦅🦒
Honestly if Finnigan isn't the official judge of the boat trials, I'll be disappointed.
This right here.
While watching I was thinking the same thing!
Second that! Finnegan has to be the judge
Maybe Finnegan should enter. There might be time with the Danger Ranger 9000.
BIG FACTS
James is the biggest drag racer of the lot, his boat should be called "technically legal" and he is a legend. The man will exploit any loophole he can find and everybody else looks like a sucker.
The loophole with travel expenses was a good one!
"technically legal"😂😂😂😂😂😂
Spot on!! Jack stand is invaluable! 🇺🇸🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Like a true racer
Toasts old blown big block engine is just sitting in the shop.. Technically it's free
Ol’ Jackstand doesn’t know how to lose. That guy will overbuild anything.
He loves to win or will blow it up trying
What a hero
I didn’t know it was possible, but each of them got a boat that fits them perfectly
It's like Top Gear.
@@doubleT84 Like Hammonds Jizzledrizzle boat
I noticed that. lol
Bro literally 😂
Funny how that always work
I love when James is starting it up in the driveway and I see Sam give a big thumbs up far away in the camera shot. So wholesome.
Rewatching videos now and I just realized that lol
Mike Finnigan is, I’m sure, sitting like a proud father watching this. He definitely needs to be a style and performance judge in this competition.
i was thinking the same thing!
absolutely.
Can you imagine how stoked Finnegan was when James called him about it?
Cleet needs to make this happen
That boat is junk, Cleetus should have this in the bag. Wrong hull for a jet drive, has a junk jet to begin with, and jets are so inefficient that it will take him 3 times as much power to keep up.

@Nathan Gregory it's like trying to start a push lawnmower without it's blade. Source: had a blade fall off once.
Make this go up the comments lol my man here has a great point
Facts
👍
I doubt it's in the budget for now
I love that James asked to film. Shows how respectful he really is.
As he was filming lol
James is such a winner! He doesn’t know how to be ordinary. Always going way beyond what anyone expects! Can’t wait to see the competitions in action
Laughing my ass off on this video. So funny when you all were trashing James' boat and then it wouldn't start and then you all were pissed when it lit off and sounded like a beast. This is going to a fun series to watch!! Great editing btw.
Best part of the episode for sure! They were trash talking them until it started 😂
They stopped laughing real quick lol
George's laugh kills me!
He said get ready 😆
They are just loud, it’s jet propulsion , it’s slow!
If you win James, you should wire the family some more money that they were asking and name the boat after the original owner! It'll be like the water version of Ed and neighbor!!!
everybody like this comment
So wholesome
He should name it after the original owner regardless.
Reposting this comment for @scottshoemaker you should send thr family who sold you the big block boat more money and name it after the owner. Like Ed version of a boat
James is right, “I have a RUclips channel”. This dude changed the game for our favorite channel.
I also like how he goes on Dr. Tunumalls channel n takes a camera n does his thing on his channel to.

@@darkje buncha nitrous
Literally crying with laughter when jackstand fired that up in front of cleetus
I wish I coulda saw the face on Cleeter...bet he was like fawkkk but also laughing
Who else feels like there's nothing James couldn't get running?
Ever watched zip ties and bias plies?? 🤣🤣
I like this comment but we’re at 69 likes soo heres my like 👍🏼
He could get an engine that's half made of rust to turn over and cough to life
He needs to set the timing.
James could get the kitchen sink to do a 8 second pass up Mt. Everest
You can see Sam in James' front yard at 11:20. He hears a big block and comes running
I had a feeling that James would pick a boat that would be complete overkill. I love how he bent the rules.
There is no overkill! it's a contest for the fastest boat
Love to see it 😂. It’ll prolly break before it gets on the water with James luck. But the jet boats have less performance but better run in shallow water.
If this is overkill you are too old and you knew James would find something wild because that's who he is.
Yep!
Where is he bending the rules?
We need this thing hooked to ruby when she’s back together
YES!!!!
I don't think anyone expected James rolling in some outboard motor boat but this open head BBC death trap was not what I was expecting for the budget. This thing is awesome on so many levels!

2) rack pipes of jetboat in driveway
I think the neighbor was giving him the thumbs up👍🏻
11:20

“Where’s the bill of sale” lol, like those ever show the right price! Everything I have ever bought or sold was $1,000 on the bill of sale haha
Thinking the same thing 😂😂😂
Shhhhhh 🤫 lol
Bill of sale for my motorcycle showed $125 and when I got the title for it the state valued it at $50. Feels like I overpaid
Now THIS is the kind of boat we all wanted to see. Bad ass deal and revival.
Finnegan did it first

Man, I love these challenges yall do. One of my favorite videos on the channel.
James with the “small” finger gesture when he fired the big block up after hearing George’s boat was priceless 😂😂
George's laugh = BEST PART lol
Leave it to James to find a big block 💀💀 He’s gonna have a sick nitrous setup for it, calling it now 🤣
