- @FabRats @pestcontrolguys @jetskijim007 and @MerlinsOldSchoolGarage are all meeting up to cover 365 miles on JETSKIS!? Here is part one of the Missouri River Run 2023. Tune in on Wednesday for Part 2! These are episodes you don't want to miss! Catch all the shenanigans and be sure to watch @FabRats @pestcontrolguys and @jetskijim007 channels! Thanks for watching!
Thanks again for all the hard work you and Jimmy put in to getting these skis ready to rock! It was a blast!
It was amazing seeing the old skis outlast all the others
I appreciate that you showed saying Grace before eating. This is just another reason to love Merlin's channel!!!
Happy to see it too.
Yes Jesus Christ is the answer 🙏✝️
I agree 100%
Agreed but looked like some disrespect from Hunter at the time...
@@backburner2128 Oh No! I suggest therapy ASAP
Totally awesome! So cool to see other perspectives of the run. It was awesome to have you guys with us and we sure showed that River who is boss!
You do know that the River is always the boss... right? If you keep that in mind She lets you have a fun time on her waters. Great adventure. Glad you put it together. Would liked to have been able to be there.
Merlin, what a great job getting all those skis up and running so darn good. You are the mechanic of the run.
I couldn’t of done it without my friend Jimmy it was a lot of work for both of us but thank you we made it happen🏁😊🙌🇺🇸🔧
Thank you for taking us all along for the adventure! 🙏❤️😎🤙 🚤💨
Way to go Merlin,you’re always come cool and collect,your content is great ,it’s nice seeing you help out hunter,you guys are all by TOP SHELF .nice to see a prayer in there
Thank you for praying over your food. Not enough folks like us left in this crazy world! God Bless America!
Amen to that countryboyscooter3402!
Saying grace before a meal puts God in charge of your whole river adventure that's why I love Merlin's Old School Garage, Fab Rats & everyone else involved great video thank's for sharing God bless ❤😎👍
I respect you guys for blessing the food and keeping that in this video. I enjoy all of the videos you guys make and have learned a lot from the knowledge you guys share. Keep making them 👍
Prayer before you eat with hats off. ❤️👍🇺🇸
My respect of you all was super high but now it's off the charts.
Thank you.
I can see why Paul brought Merlin along, somebody has to keep everything together and running. Next time Merlin needs a true diesel, not just a sticker that says cummin(s) on a gas burner.
@Merlin those rocks are jetties. The Corps of Engineers use them to help keep the rivers navigable by sweeping the sand out of the channel. The sand and silt get carried by the current, and since water flows towards the path of least resistance the heavier sand and silt flows around the jetty and settles.
I saw this work on the Red River in Louisiana when they were working to make it navigable. It's impressive and it keeps from having to regularly run a dredge boat down the main channel to keep navigation safe.
Love that you showed praying on your Chanel ! God bless you all! Love all of your videos with the gang!
Hahaha the quagga mussel inspection station 😂😂 that's epic
Those young guys are so lucky to have you and Jimmy along to keep them running! I bet you've had that little tool kit since the 80s. 😁
Amen Brother's , thx for sharing , brought water too me eyes when you all prayed to are Jesus . thx brother's
I got out of the Navy in 81 , i have issues ever since , never been on vacation . This is something i could do , awesome vid Brother. thx
Always start my Sundays with Merlins Old School Garage. Never fails great entertainment . Look for FABRATS next
Actually, a yankum rope makes a lot of sense on the water as a propellor can’t really bite into anything if its rope is pulled tight but blasting out with a yankum and utilizing its kinetic energy to apply pull really makes sense to me. Great adventure you thought up here!
Merlin's magic touch. "Here, grab my hand. Go ahead and choke it and start it up." Fires right off. Amazing. lol
That's quite the adventure. You always just seem to be having fun and handling what comes at you. "Gettin' er' done as you go.
This is awesome! I've never left Maine 🇺🇸 so it's epic to see all these different places on Merlins channel! Truly looks like ahh blast! 🤘🏻
Love and energy in, fun out.
That’s how it works every time.
God bless you guys, one and all.
Greetings from Romania ❤️🇷🇴
My God that looks like a blast! What wonderful memories you guys are making. Looking for all the different vvideos.
Merlin did you tell Paul to clean them quagga mussels off that seadoo ?😂 thoroughly enjoyed it fellas.
What an awesome trip. You all are crazy! Just my type of people.
Jimmy saves the day when it comes to Jet Ski’s ! 💪👍🏼
Part 1 👍
“Boys” 2023 Missouri River Run (is what I call this) Can’t wait till Part 2.
This is one of those adventures that will be bragged about for years to come. 👍👍👍🇺🇸
Woot woot, burnt ends are the bomb!!
You are invited next time!
Thanks Merlin, Showing love and respect for our GOD is the # one thing , this makes you a first and I love and support your great videos. God Bless and keep you and yours safe.
I love your videos, you are a very good TH-camr. ❤
he so good
Great video Merlin! It compliments Fab Rat video really good by having some of the behind the scene and the stop’s footage. I can’t wait for part two! 👍👍👍
What a cool adventure 😎 🇺🇲
Thanks, Merlin! Looks like lots of fun...
Loved you Take on this Epic Adventure. Never have I seen anyone assemble 19 Jet Skis heading over 300 miles.
I loved you capturing the gathering , checking all the skis, dialing everything in. Great video Merlin! 🤙😎
Dag on it between hoof trimming and hay fields I completely forgot and miss y'all coming hope you all had a good time thanks for sharing your video
Looked like everyone had a good time and it was an awesome trip
Best of the videos on this... Thumbs ups
I love this episode. I spent many hours on the Ohio River back in the 90s on a seadoo xp. The sound of those engines took me back to a lot of fun times with my friends. Thank you
I appreciate you not editing out simple things like a prayer for the dinner and stuff like that really you just making it real for everybody thanks so much!!
All the best from Surrey BC Canada
Fun stuff Merlin! Good thing JetSki Jimmy came along. He's the only one with the proper name!!
Thanks for saying grace on the episode out loud. Great episode!
Great video. Thanks for taking me along for a ride. Cheers brother
Very nice coverage. Awesome adventure. Many helpfull people came along. looking forward for part II
Out of respect I watched your video first. Since your the "Organizer of this controlled caious" great adventure, outstanding video.
That looks like alot of fun! You must of had Carrie extra parts! Love watching you guy's!
Just a little history about the cool bridge where you started. That bridge was built over dry land and then the river was rerouted under the bridge. Much like the London Bridge reconstruction and rerouting if Colorado river at Lake Havasu.😀
It’s great seeing you guys having so much fun.
This is the best video I’ve seen of the journey. Awesome work Merlin!
You guy's should make this an annual event from now on!👍😄
We are considering it or something similar.
I love the channel Merlin
A good start to the fun run.
Part 1? Woo Hoo! That means at least one more. 🤣💯
Merlin love the start of your Missouri River run episode of the part where Hunter is fighting the battery connections and it occurred to me that you and Paul should have put a fake mouse where he would find it I think that would have been hilarious
Love your videos
Jetski Jimmy rocking jeans skidooing like a legend!
It was a pleasure meeting you and Jimmy at Chico's Tacos earlier today. Keep the videos coming. Can't wait to see the videos of the car you picked up in Ohio.
I enjoyed seeing your perspective. Seems like you always have a good answer, they are lucky they had you along!
Looks like a blast. I've been waiting for this. Thanks for sharing
Father thank you for keeping everyone safe..
I like when you guys collaborate events and post same days. I like the different perspectives and views. thanks for sharing.
Just too cool
Amen ! Let's eat !
🙏
Merlin, you did the Lewis and Clark expedition in reverse. It started in Hartford, Illinois. That is where you guys concluded. Also, I appreciate the fact that someone said Grace before the meal.
Yeyah! Been waiting for this 🤙
That was AWESOME trip y'all had..... I already watched Paul's video..... Fun FUN fun!!
Great video Merlin!! A trip to remember for sure! My longest ride on a jet ski was at Lake Havasu! LOL!! That was 2005 or 6. Not sure I would have made two days. Sure looks like you're all having a great time.... well, maybe not Hunter... sunburnt legs... ouch! LOL!! You and Jimmy have your work cut out for you keeping those skis running. I'm looking forward to seeing part 2!!!
Fun run, must have been a blast! Good times with good friends and family! Memories that will last a lifetime! Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next...
Nice video. Thanks Merlin. I watched Paul's the other day.
Great trip .. one of those for the bucket list 👍😎✊
Merlin has a great view of the River run. The first half of the video is, boats , boys and BBQ . Merlin is 100% positive all the time after all. You can worry a thing to death.
Did you see Merlin carries 5 tools. Sometimes that is all you need, if there the rite tools..And tape..
@21:13... that bridge (closest to you) was built in 1941 and that part of the river is actually a Cut-Off/Bypass from the original channel (which lies to the north). The Cut-Off/Bypass was built to speed up shipping out weapons, during WW-II.
Good morning I have been looking forward to the videos from this trip I know it will be a fun experience to watch with everyone involved.
Great video! Thanks for taking us along!
It was funny how Merlin was givin all the boys crap about not knowin how to drive em right, or fix em, or put gas in em, or how to do anything right basically, but then he was the one that immediately drove his up the first boat ramp and sucked a big rock in and bent the propeller lol 😂
Wow just watching you bri gs back sooo many memories of fun times on the Parker strip and Havasu. Always little problems but fun anyway 😅. Thanks Merlin I needed this.👌
You should see all the sand on the Mississippi. I live 100 miles south of St. Louis and we are going through a drought.
You talk about making memories!!! A great bunch of guys!!!
It was amazing!
EXCELLENT CHOICE ! ! ! Feorella's Jack Stacks is the BEST ! ! ! I had it flown in here to MacDill AFB in Tampa, FL for my coworkers and it was a huge hit. Every time I go home to KC I have to take an empty suitcase and fill it with sauce & rub to bring back for everybody. You're gonna love it ! ! ! Eat your way across Missouri !
Love it! Make sure you wave at us when you are in KC!
I live about 10 miles due north from where you all put in. In the 80s we rode motorcycles and four wheeled about 20 miles of that river. On a Saturday and Sunday River Front Park just south would have a hundred trucks parked that hauled dirt bikes all riding in the woods. You all haven't seen mud! We got one out over two days and it took a backhoe. It was a new at the time Chevy Blazer with a built 454 and 44" Gumbo Monster Mudders. Tires were gone and he had to climb out the window. They did mention two of KCs great BBQ places I like a place called BB's Lawnside. The meat doesn't need sauce but if you want it it's not Ketchup based. Vinegar base like Nashville I think. I could go on for days, you guys picked an incredible place in the country!
I love how Jimmy says that. 😂😂 41:58
It’s fun seeing you get a kick out of our trees. When I go to AZ or UT, I’m all … that’s a big rock … kick! Ouch.
Nothing ever happens in grain valley, mo. until this crew shows up!
It is time to put GV on the map! We will try and make that happen!
@@pestcontrolguys my grandparents main farm was in Buckner, other family was in Richmond, Hardin and Independence! I’m in Havasu with Merlin, haven’t met him yet but I’m sure I will at some point!
@@desertd2609 he is as cool as you could imagine
Thank you from Kentucky ✌️😎
Great FUN 😂😮😅😊
Look like a lot of fun. Thanks for taking us along for the adventure. Stay safe and keep having fun. Thanks for the video.
You guys are great to watch. Bet it’d be awesome to get the opportunity to hang out with all of you
Great adventure!!
Great footage Merlin.
Thank you for filming the 🙏🏻 T G B T G 🙌
I hadn't worn or thought about a strap like that on your glasses in 25 years. Until yesterday, for some reason I thought of them. Then I see you wearing them. LOL Good times.
Ok that was Amazing hahaha 💪🏻👍✌️❤️
So awesome looks like Y'all had fun wish I could have been there.
I envy you guys this looks like such fun. 🏖️
What a cool adventure 😎
So far so good.
All them kids going to be looking like lobsters no sunblock.
Good luck you all.
Watch out for them 300 lb catfish.😳😉🏄♂️🥌🛶.
👍🏽🤙🏾🤘🏾🙋🏽♂️😊😎🍉🍕.
just watch this and want to thank for these awsome videos, i got to see you here in Cedar yesterday , talked to Pal for a bet and seen the rest of family and Mat also.
I wouldn’t attempt anything like this without having someone like Mad Scientist Mechanic Merlin with to be able to fix anything 🤘🤘
Love it, so much fun.
John and I had a blast videoing you guys! I have realized though that I need a faster drone/s. Sorry I didn't get a chance to say thanks before you left. You were headed to another project I think. Looking forward to seeing the coming video. Thanks for jumping in the group photo. I tried to save my fanboy stuff until the end so you could enjoy the experience.
What a fun adventure to be out on. Rolling on the mighty Mississippi! Have a great time and keep that Camara filming. See you on the next one.
A neat trip. First time I ever rode a jet ski. Glad to see your wearing life jackets.
