A note for Editor Chris - The sax music this week was FIRE
I'm not sure who plays the song in this video but you might enjoy GRiZ
I thought the same thing as soon as it started playing…
I thought this is killer sound and music lol,
And honestly I think it screams FSM!
Sorta like Sanford and son series is easily recognized by its intro music.
@@BrashAdventures Its the same song that is used in a commercial for Seadoo that I see all the time on here, Guess maybe google thinks I'm into PWCs or something...
I can only agree. Sounded amazing on the audio system hooked up to my TV.
Leo P?
Nothing like a fresh hot boat episode on Sunday morning 😎
🤘🏽😁🤘🏽
It’s Monday morning ya muppet.
Hello from Australia!
Absolutely!
17:43 and 18:09 Game over sounded like helicopter turbine winding down! Holy balls the turbo sounds were wild! Great job getting her stopped after that wild ride.
I mean, you ARE hearing a turbine wind down. It's just the turbine in the turbocharger. Same noise. Some turbines even use centrifugal compressors just the same as a turbo.
He said he drove around 80 miles that weekend. I wonder how much money he spent to build that boat and drive it 80 miles? That's probably over $1500 a mile
@@desertfresh3740 Yes turbo is a turbine but you don't hear them wind down with that helicopter level of authority. Spooling up is another story.
You and cleeter making me want a boat with all this boat content. All the boats were badass!
Boat prices rising
I've been looking, it's a sellers market and all the decent deals are out West.
You know what BOAT stands for Bust Out Another Thousand but the first time I heard that was over 30 years ago so boat is now spelled with a silent F like this now BOAFT and now stands for Bust Out Another FiveThousand. The simple rule of thumb my old man told me is if you are going to own a boat have enough cash in your sock draw to buy another engine, transmission, drive, and or prop because sooner or later your going to blow one or all of them up and are either going to have to fix it or take it hard, rough, and covered with sand (if you know what I mean) when you try and sell it broke. 😁
WTF is a Cleeter?
@@brendangeraghty8865 Cleetus McFarland.
I was literally like “man what a badass shot with that nice weld on the intake manifold cruising the water” “oh it blew the intake up” damn lol
For the record NOTHING looks like GAME OVER!! It's a 1 of a kind 😂🤣 love these damn boats.💯👍💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
Then clearly you have never used google
Back in 1986 or 7 ,I drove a 1968 Bug from Helendale, Ca.(20 miles South of Barstow, on Route 66) to Atlanta, Georgia via I-10 in Febuary.
That's a long cold trip as I made 2 stops 1 in Los Cruces, N. M., and one in West Columbia TX. (relatives).
If you ever get behind a semi in an air cooled auto, watch the temperature, as it's a great tow but @80 mph my bug vapor locked..
I digress.
God bless you and your loved ones
Godspeed
I had a Beetle back in the ‘60s. I used to draft the semis up and down the NJ Turnpike.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT RIVER !!!! I'm not a diesel guy buy that diesel boat is gangster as hell brother. Thank you for sharing that ridiculously awesome adventures and keep em coming. Everyone keep yourself and love ones safe and healthy and remember to smile because we are still breathing and that is worth smiling about.
hey finn ! glad ya had a gr8 weekend and glad ya found the weak link without catastrophic damage just a bit of make it a bit better. the soundtrack is killer its nice to come across something not used on 100 other channels.
Thanks for posting the bad-ass jet boat footage, letting it play under the hood of my work truck whilst I am changing an intake and water pump so I can go to work early Monday morning 👍🇺🇸
I have incredible memories of the Colorado river from my younger days growing up in Santa Monica back in the 80s and all thru the 90s before I moved to Canada. We had a double wide at the Paradise Point RV Resort on the river Cali side just north of Blythe and let me tell you.... Those are without a doubt the best summers I ever spent. Running the river water skiing knee boarding being pulled and launched 15ft in the air on a donut . Sandrailing .. yep I know the stretch you guys were on ALL too well!!! Awesome nostalgic video for me Finnegan thanks brother for the reliving of my youthful memories but!!
Mr. Finnegan, I love all roadkill videos and all the knowledge and Wisdom you all share. Including experiences and everything y'all do is a riot....
Man, you just brought back great memories! Grew up in SoCal and we were on the river right there every chance we got. Learned how to boat, ski, flirt with pretty girls. The whole deal. Thanks for taking me with you on this one for sure. 👊
Same story here brother!! What an awesome trip down memory lane..
When I was a kid in the mid '70s and lived in Phoenix for a couple years, we used to meet my grandparents in Parker a couple times each summer. I loved the roar of the boats, and I think my grandfather knew someone who was popular in the boating community, often promising he could get my brother and I a ride on "the fastest boat on the river". My mother on the other hand, who thought the noise was ridiculous and that the boats should just slow down, never even allowed us to go look at the boats much less let us go for a ride on one.
She sucks. I said what I said. She must have a lot of fun in life.
Last time I was in Havasu was 1975, things have changed tremendously since, I'm sure. I sold my boat in 1976. I had a 17'7" Tahiti with a 455 Olds with a Berkley drive. The guy I sold it to sunk it in lake Meade, lol. I really enjoy your channel and I've got some catching up to do, the last time I was here is when you were trying to Iron out some problems with the turbos, oh yes, welding the box to join the collectors. Wish I could have been out there to help out. Thanks again, for sharing.
Great show, great music, just a great all around good time. So jealous but almost 70 makes it a little harder to be and feel like kid again. What an awesome time. Nothing beats being on the water. The greatest day at work will never pass a bad day on the water. I miss my Aquasport, just a fishing boat but being on the water, can't be beat. Thanks so much for the ride along. It will work for me. Stay safe and enjoy Mike. From s/w Fl. You are the man, n the wife also.
what a beautifully fun and EXPENSIVE hobby. Good stuff Finnegan!
now this is the mashup we've been waiting for!
Years of experience show as you discuss the thought process as it popped the intake. Glad it all settled down smoothly for you.
That's boating!
Glad you were able to get 'er shut down without any problem! Be safe, Mike! LOVED the content.
Parker strip is my second favorite place to go out and have a good time, next to the Sacramento river (on 550s due to shallow water for late season riding). The social experience on the Colorado river is the best though.
It's hilarious how Roadkill takes crap and makes it cool, and all of Mike's personal projects with actual care and thought put into them keep breaking.
Growing up at the lake in the back seat of a 74 Taylor jet boat, my father always reminded me, high performance means high maintenance.
When she was "running right" there was nothing more fun I can remember from my childhood.
It's easy to break parts when you're making horsepower
thats cus dumb shit tends to work
It's not like the roadkill stuff doesn't break...
@@WatchmakerErik Well, yes, but Roadkill stuff is generally already mostly broken when they get it and just continues falling apart despite their best efforts with gaff tape and zip ties, Mike destroying brand-new handcrafted and tested engines is the other end of the spectrum.
How Majestic does that look, seeing game over sitting in the water... no but you have built yourself one bad ass machine
Deep pockets playtoys. .......And yes, I'm jealous! I want to do the jetski in an aluminum Jon Boat conversion but as broken as I am I could not stand the pounding that that boat does. You are in the best time/part of your life Mike. You have an amazing job situation, A pretty wife that loves you and cool kids PLUS you have your two minions to help you! Savior the days!
I can hear Gale Banks screaming "IT NEEDS MORE AIR!!!"
Scheild Diesel in Indiana would definitely help break his driveline . Mr. Banks can light cigars with green cash 🤑 due to his green diesel endorsement
Banks is a hater. He is ruining the diesel world with his EPA propaganda. I agree any engine can use more air, but with more air comes more fuel. EPA is making it impossible to get tuners these days. PowerDriven had the best programs, and now they are no longer allowed to sell.
@@ChannelZeroOne Banks actually knows what he is talking about you moron. With more air comes leaner AFR's and MORE EFFICIENCY AND LOWER EGT'S.
@@madrx2 Banks is a hypocrite. Never said he did not know what he is doing. He often does the same things to those he is throwing shame to.
I would like to see you find room to intercool between stages. The man talks all this smack we should intercool between stages, but does not do it on his builds. Like to see him fit piping and intercoolers for triples.
I see your intelligence level is pretty low tossing insults.
Gale banks him self said fuel = power . Diesel make their best power at 14:1 you wouldn't believe how smokey that is. 20:1 is best for emissions that's where oem run them.
pretty cool to watch this. i was born in havasu and grew up on the river. that stretch of river really is jet boat/jetski paradise. if you ever want to run the most fun marsh trails for a stand up hit the blythe stretch and go about 5 miles downriver from the bridge
Oh man this takes me back! my home stretch of the river was down south by the imperial dam. grew up with an old jet boat just like those. nothing better than floating down the river for hours. so relaxing
Good old Parker Parker AZ, first and only time i was there was in 2009 for West Coast Nationals. Looked at mini trucks all weekend and watch drag boats sittin in the river!! Cool video man. Love it
0:54 Damn, Finnegan only knew his wife for a *_year_* before they married and she ended up being a cool ass wife? That's pretty *_rare_*
No, just requires honesty is all.
and she is ready to pop off her necklace to get a boat fixed.... that right there should win her wife of the decade
@@bluespig1 which is....pretty rare ;)
I’ve been trying engaged for 8 years 🤣
@@jimmyboe25 If y’all are in love and happy stay engaged because in most states you are considered married and I am one of the tens of thousands that went from happily engaged for a number of years to married and divorced with in 16 months. Seriously a month after our honeymoon we started fighting about money, the amount time out with friends, and just about everything else. The kick in the nuts is we got married to be more respectable for our kids and they both said don’t do it because they had heard all the stories about people like us ruining a perfectly good relationship all because of a ring and the same last name.
Love that area of the river, growing up my folks had really close friends that had a place on the river outside of Blythe, the use to be a KOA campground on the California side just west of the 10 overpass , we spent a lot of time on the river and along side the river in dune buggies. Then as a teenager I had friend that his family had a house in Parker, it was in the keys so we did a lot of partying in that area, an yes I do miss it, I have not been there in years. Thanks for bringing back some really good memories.
Same here. Used to stay in the Mayflower camping park in Blythe. Spent many years on the Colorado River between Blythe and Parker. Great memories.
Looked like an awesome vacation. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for taking us along Mike!
Great to see that river , and all those hot rod boats. That is a long way from Canada.
Hello from Australia straight up, and thanks a heap for the tuff boat content. Love your work always.
Thanks for watching!
Just seen you rolling down I75 south bound in the toter. I'm the trucker that gave you a thumbs up. What you had in tow is going to make for one hell of a video!
Fun times on the river been there Brought back some great memories thanks The video was great My boarts were never in your class But had tons of fun It was back when you could camp out on the river Thanks for sharing
That is a great song i never knew i was missing.
You should look into some sort of throttle authority strategy so that if the throttle is closed and the MAP is high for more than 1 second, it will drop into a limp mode.
What a great trip! Thanks for sharing. I need that Cummins boat 😍
Awesome trip! Thanks for sharing!
Definitely need a burst panel on that deal. I'm loving the content brother 🤙
You're gonna see the transformation from farmers tans to cooked lobsters 😆.
Difficult to watch the runs of other water-craft, after seeing what your machines do. The insane speeds you have been flying by the camera with for years, is extra impressive). Thanks for showing a couple party spots on the river. Excellent Vid.
Badass. On bucket list now to hit Colorado river. See some sweet boats.👍🏼👍🏼
I remember going to the river as a kid and waking up every morning to these boats rippin'.
EPA watching this video very carefully
Ya know being an Airman, I never saw an appeal for boating… Until now!!! Finn this trip looked like a freaking blast!!! I gotta get me a hot rod boat!!! Keep up the great content.
The Vidio was awsome man!! Love the river!! But now my back hurts from watching those good ol boys lifting that ski into that truck lol!!
So would you say you blew the welds on the intake
Granny shifting, not double clutching like he should. 😂
@Lost Marbles Adv but he actually did blow the welds on the intake. which are not in the floorboard
Now me and the mad scientist gota rip the block apart....
Cummins boat owner needs to watch banks power videos on tuning diesel to burn less fuel and make more power
Mechanical injection is impossible to tune smoke out if your making any decent power or you spend 8k on a vnt compound setup
Merlin doesn't need to talk to anyone end of story!
He knows more about 12 valve Cummins than you know about anything! Thats Merlin from Old School Garage
Always nice to see your old boat in such great shape
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
I’m sure everyone on the river loves tha trolling coal thing😂
I kept waiting for it to clean up.
I don't get wound up about trucks rolling coal if they arent just being a dick but if I was chilling and floating on the river id be pissed if a cloud smoked me out.
5:36 "Like I always say, rust is lighter than carbon" 😂 Im definitely stealing that one
I'm literally sitting on the beach at Blue Water Lagoon launch ramp watching this episode on my phone with the train bridge in the background. Such a great river day today and nobody was out. Headgate didn't release until 1, so it was quiet and only a few jet boats coming up and down. Great stuff Finn!
Man that’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
Nice to see that Mike wasn't even mad that Gameover broke. That's a sign of a great holiday!
I love Parker. Spent many a night camping next to Foxys.. When you camp there the night life spectator show is hilarious.
Fenn that was the first place I ever went on a jet ski. BTW a huge shoot out to your badass wife for tuning the carbs with her jewelry lol that is a woman who loves the water .
funky new sound track at intro and end. ....and the boat is cool too!
I need the info on the opening/closing song and the one when your in Blaze’s boat!!!
3:20 Just try not to think about the pee to water ratio
the green boat at 10:40 was my dads back in 03, pictures of me as a baby in it. badass!!!
We used to see a few V-8 jet boats here on the Missouri river in western Iowa. They were few and far between back in the late 70's early 80's. I love seeing a bunch of them together !
Hey fin!! It’s the capacitor for the a/c motor!!! No big deal!! If it’s still works and blows cold for even a minute? She is just fine. Just a short or bad capacitor where it turns it off to prevent stuff from over working and getting to hot. Hope that helps!
Finnigan needs lessons from brian o'conner since he blew the welds on his intake
Weld looked alright..seam blew. It's a pressure point, and shit done blowed up!
DANGER TO MANIFOLD!
I only came to the comment section to see if someone said it. it had to be said.
Now me and the mad scientist have to tear down the block😎
@@michaelsclark and replace those piston rings you fried.
Mike that's a great video. Because if you are building a boat or a car what ever you went out and had a blast which is why we do this. Keep it up.
Ps have Kevin check that holly map up top
Hope you had a great time and have a safe trip back home, love your videos! You infected me, I just picked up a '77 Biesmeyer for a Winter project...
Mike, call Cletus. He needs a jet boat.
What would they do without you.
He has one.
He has one now, jimmy just bought one for the 2500 challenge
Jackstand can't help he's smarter then Cleet.
@@bepbep7418 wtf are you even talking about….
"who cares about putting ac in" (sad ac guy)
Dude same
You can put it in my car, ill cover Popeyes for the duration of the job.
Looks like an absolute blast! You've got such an awesome attitude. 👍🇺🇲
This was a really interesting and very very new experience to watch. In the Netherlands there is a lot of water, and watersports. But not like this man! Lookin’ really good hamgin’ out like that, cruising the river and maiming some Motorsport hahaha. Thanknyou for giving a peek into this
I love how Finnegan always seems to find a way out of doing any of the hard work by saying he’s got to film it and why none of these guys realize anybody can hold the camera is beyond me
As you age you go from doing grunt work to doing finesse work, pretty normal.
@@strandvaskeren Yeah but the guys moving the air conditioners looked older than Finnigan
@David Hale I’m more on the side of a lazy guy taking advantage of his friends because he always does it lol
@@600wheel its not as you age, its as you climb the ladder. the grunt boys still at the bottom of the ladder.
Personally I don’t work on other people junk unless they are sweating right next to me
Idk why rolling coal is still a thing when it’s well known that it’s just fuel not being burnt and means your tune is not as clean as it could be
Yeah, rolling coal means that your tune is shit. Sorry but not sorry, watch Gale Banks rant about it once and you’ll understand.
It's still a thing because America is still a thing! You can have fun with your clean diesels and I will enjoy my 2 stroke Detroits. That's the fun of a free country.
@@crashalarm3283, as GretaThunburg would say, *"HOW DARE YOU!"*
Ok yes I agree with you there but why is it at like every single tractor pull every single diesel is like a freight train there like shouldn't they be tuned? Also?
@@unintendedconsequences1470 not for much longer. Electric 🚤 ugh.
Hi Mr Mike. On trip to Thailand a few years ago I saw some of their style of race boats. They have skinny beamed boats that are long, with 4 cylinder compound turbo diesels. Those things fly!
Has a Merlin ever found itself in one of these boats? I remember a lot of them getting used in tractor pulls.
1st ....You probably wont find one because they are super rare and 2nd , they weigh around 1400lbs and burn 2 -3 gal a min at full chat.
Maybe not a modern hull but the Detroit River has a great historical racing history with crazy engined boats. "Detroit River Thunder" ~for googlefu
"In 1932, Wood piloted Miss America X --powered by four supercharged Packard V-12 engines producing 6,400 hp, setting a waterspeed record that went unbroken for over thirty years."
Worth looking up!
I think they used to use them in unlimited hydro racing, alison engines probably more common though, i think everyone uses turbines these days though.
Soon as a saw a diesel, I wondered what else is heavy that I haven't seen. :)
The Merlin has such a calming drone and thrum while it puts out all that power.
Put a mini split ac in there.thats what I have in my toter. Run the whole rig off a honda 2200.
Get a extended run cap and your golden.
@@supertrucker5000 yes very quiet.
Mine was charged also.mine has a heat pump also.
Love it!!!
Aha Quin, Water Wheel, Hidden Valley, Lost Lake, Agnes Wilson Bridge and Big River... Miss it all very much!! Sold our place at Hidden Valley a year ago after 20+ years of memories...
This was awesome! Really love this lifestyle!! Thank you
My pop's used to have a wreidht 18' spoiler. 455 olds. Could set a full beer can on dash n when u hit the send it peddle it wouldn't touch the boat. Coolest thing my pop's owned.
that diesel needs a tune. people who tune them to blow smoke are ruining it for everyone. EPA is bending everyone over
Beat me to it, I get that it's a unique thing that you wanna show off, but the fact that it's a cummins in a boat with the single dump from the Turbo will be enough to bring them in to ask, you don't need to burn down the coal mine just because you wanna be noticed.
@@RedDeadSpearhead He can still make the power as well. It will still be smoky but he needs DDP's new 12v injectors and probably step up to compounds maybe turn the pump back a little and that should clean it up a lot and most likely make a fair bit more power.
lmao the EPA is going to ruin it for everyone and it has NOTHING to do with 7 assholes rolling coal. They just like you believing that so you hate each other and fight amongst yourselves. Instead of fighting the REAL issue. Corrupt Government.
Wish y'all had the same energy for 2A as well as the EPA. No matter the alphabet letters, they're all trying to fuck us over.
@@joshuagibson2520 yup.
Been subscribed for a couple years now, pal. Love the content Mike, keep it up.
Boating is awesome, big and small. I’m more of a RC boating guy myself, those meets are incredible. These are awesome too
that cummins needs to be tuned better
Would be nice if the diesel was tuned correctly instead of giving everyone cancer. Love the older boats.
Karen’s cause more harm to this world then any Diesel
It's only known to cause cancer in the state of Commiefornia.
That's the best boating you could have thanks guys and I everybody take it easy and we'll see you later
So many nice boat Fin. I miss cruising the Colorado River in my dad's custom CAT Diesel-powered 1977 Hawaiian Day Cruiser jet boat. So much fun! He has a 44' Banzai now, but he doesn't let us touch that, lol.
I guess the diesel boat is cool but nothing like destroying a beautiful view with a tire fire...
Whether you approve or not the 'rolling coal' thing is drawing a lot of attention from people that support the EPA. The problem is when they start regulating, they're not going to stop at banning diesel smoke, it could go a whole lot further which is bad for everyone, gas and diesel. Personally I think the whole black smoke thing has had its day and needs to stop.
When it comes to race built boats and trucks, I don’t mind it. But I’ve had multiple occasions where trucks will roll coal on me while I’m riding my bike. That fuckin pissed me off
So nice to see you out enjoying it!
Cool seeing Randy again in the vid. Haven't seen him in years
So "secret spot on the Colorado river, pristine crystal clear water, blue skies, clean air" and pouring out smelly black smoke is cool? All I can say is "WHATEVER!!!" "Just because you can doesn't mean you should".
So you thought that we'd just overlook the coal rolling because it's no longer the top headline in automotive douchbaggery these days? Well, you're wrong.
Fin Egan your a hoot brother! Love your car segments but have become obsessed with go fast boats. My last one 222 Chris Craft Stinger with a 460 in it. Now having sold that one I am on the hunt for flat bottom jet or v drive boat! My wife fortunately has placed the blame on you instead of me so a heart felt Thank You for putting the idea in my head that I just no make that must have another fast boat!!
Finnegann LOL
You are a LUCKY GUY!!!! thanks for the video
Boats, meh. Not a car...I miss Blasphemi.
Finnegan always get a pre-watch-video-tumbs-up, because Finnegan 👌👍
Mike, your little pause there to remind us to subscribe ACTUALLY WORKED! I actually forgot to sub, so it was worth your little pause!
That's pretty wild! What a collection of Jet boats and people out enjoying the Sun!!!
Was just on the water in that area a couple weeks ago. My Favorite spot for sure. Wish I had a ride as cool as yours!
nice to see these boats still alive. I ran a Sanger hydro back in the mid 80’s with a BBC and nitrous
