      I saw the quagga-smuggler tee-shirt in the jet ski video and tried to order then. I'm so glad that they are finally released. Also, thank you for getting a tee-shirt with a pocket. That is the only kind of shirt I wear.
      I am excitedly waiting for delivery 😊

    That was so cool to watch you's drive the Yellow Submarine. I still can't believe you's got that old motor started after sitting so long under water. Merlin and Jet ski Jimmy did a magnificent job on getting it back on the water. The own is going to be in tears again after finally getting his boat back from lake Powell. It was so fun watching you's have fun with the boat before returning it to the owner. Have a safe trip on your way to Georgia Michelle and Paul and Merlin. Thank yous so much for filming everything and bringing us along for the ride. Can't wait to see what else you'd do on the best RUclips.

    I live out there, and Havasu is one of our closest "towns" (and the most "well-stocked" with whatever we need). I've always wanted to try a jet ski, but never have. Perhaps next time we go into town, we'll rent one. Yes, the rates are highway robbery... but just to do the experience would be a blast. Now if I can just coax the wife onto one... I'm astonished how this old sunken boat was brought back to life. From the first "just messin' around" attempt to get it started at Merlin's place and everyone being blown away that the thing even *ran* , to the video of the initial presentation. This was a fantastic journey, and I'm looking forward to seeing the next stage. You Fab Rats "criminals" always bring the good times and good natures!!! 😋
