James' wife's face when she saw the dent in the side of the boat was priceless. And ol' Jackstand was just sitting there like "yeah, I figured he'd do that fairly soon..."
Maddie is 10000% the women for Cleet. She's an absolute Ripper in her own right and just rides for him without doubt with a smile on her face. Life goals forreal
@@ShivaShakur If he 'had a life vest m no problem lifting, nor a problem lifting out his dead carcus once he gets ejected by king cleetass and hit by another boat
We drove from Calgary Alberta to Florida in 2001, with our 19' Eagle Marine Jet Boat. Louisiana Bayous, Swanee River, Gulf of Mexico, Lakes & waterways in Florida. What a blast, friendly people everywhere we went. The Jet Boat was a real Crowd Attraction. Loving Jetboating for 40 years.❤🤞
He’s worried when he can’t see the rocks but he nails everyone when he can see them🤣. I liked Maddies excitement smashing boulders when Cleetus is terrified. She’s a trooper.
@Jake Leaman Getting an oddly strong feeling you're just envious of her and having a hard time accepting your dream of being the Freedom Giraffe's lil spoon is history. Id recommend someone smaller though so your undersized features don't end up looking.."micro". Stay strong though, I prey the trash talk helps ya feel good enough to prevent gagging when using the mirror some day. Anyway, bless your heart your big titted animal, and next time follow proto buddy.
I'm so glad to see you treat Madi like the Queen she is and to see your subscribers treat her with the respect she deserves thank you for everything you do for us you're an amazing guy.Hell yeah brother do it for Dale!!
I like how Cleetus can get out there and tear up some stuff while having a good time, but doesnt make his videos all about tearing up expensive stuff. The guy literally just has fun for a living. Mad props dude!
I love the fact you and Jack stand include yalls family. Never lose sight what's truly important. Keep up the great content and be safe. Can't wait to come drag race at an event with yall one day.
@@jbob919 it is clear he does. He tries to defend his car and is strange co-owners, however, internet is full of 'stang "riders" leaving the intended trajectory rather abruptly. There just seem to be more "that guy"-type of Mustang owners than with other makes.
Cleetus has a serious look on his face and Maddy is just grinning and laughing away.... I'll bet her motto is the faster you go the more fun it is... What a smile..
I couldn't believe it when he rolled up and was like this is the Ocoee. The river is like 30 minutes from my house. Glad to see him enjoying what we get to live with everyday.
My uncle bought a nice 18 ft jet boat with a 460 Ford. He added nitrous and that was the beginning of the insanity. A few boats later he was up to an alcohol blown fuel injected texas tunnel hull V-drive. Single seat with a parachute. This was also in Tennessee from the late 80s to early 2000s. Great vid!!!
Cleeter you could not have found a better girl for yourself. The grin on maddy's face when you hit that rock was gold. She's perfect for you dude, hope you guys have an AMAZING life together
Cleetus, this is 5 minutes from my house I can’t believe I missed this , me and my friends and family kayak the Ocoee to the Hiwasee all summer!!! Glad you like good ole Cleveland/ Polk county Tennessee
I love how Maddie just has her feet up on the dash, chillin. Not a care or fear in the world. I haven’t been around all that long on the channel but I dont think you could have found a more perfect girl for yourself.
@@Freddy_Confetti Why are you so obsessed with people commenting about her in the comment section. This dude talking about her looks whe that has nothing to do with comment.
welcome to my home town Cleet, hope yall enjoyed the Ocoee and the Chilhowee mountains its awesome you guys came out here and played on the river like we do all the time come back anytime we can show u the cool spots. HELL YEAH BROTHER!!! Do it for Dale!!
I Love the Family outings ! Reminds me of my Father in Law who passed away he used to always take everyone on vacations out in the wilderness ! I Love you took the dogs !
There is so much to like about this video it's hard to count the moments. Tennessee rock formations like we have in Canada, genuine good times had by all, Maddie taking an unexpected dip in the fountain of youth and of course, your furry friends very much enjoying the entire trip. I'm very glad to have come in this ride with you guys. Mike in Toronto.
I think Maddie is a real keeper. The way she takes care of the dog so it won’t blow off the boat and the way she giggles when Clete keeps banging onto the boulders shows what kind of girl she is. She’s going to make Garret a great wife.
Tenn man sitting by the lazy river fishing the day away. Two Florida men come flying up the river, bald eagles screaming, one in a Mountain Dew boat, the other in a Bush Light boat. Hell yea brother!
If I was him I'd be nervous too. Took a lot of time and effort to build that boat and it would suck a lot if one of those rocks tore open the hull. Plus you also have the headache of recovery
Reminds me of the time, when I was a prosecutor and went on a BUI ride-along with FFW on the Wikiva. The warden stopped a couple to do a sobriety test on the shore. We both pulled our boats on the shore, and he put one leg over the gunnel of our boat and stepped on a wet Cypress knuckle. In he went. His Mustang vest violently inflated around him. In 8 inches of water. Investigation...cancelled.
As a Tennessee Resident you definitely need to enjoy more of our waterways! We've got some awesome waterways and racecars. Need to do River run on the TN River.
The whole video I was thinking man all this looks familiar, then y'all made it to the dam and I instantly recognized it. I've lived in Chattanooga TN my whole life and as a kid camped up near this spot with the family
I live 10 mins from that very dam and drive by it all the time I could easily find that spot they launched from and was so stoked that they literally drove by my house
Cleetus I don’t know if you had one or not but that kinda boat is made for skimming gravel bars and should have a polypropylene skid plate over the bottom of it, it makes you glide over the rocks, gravel,wood etc.
Yeah I wouldnt want him in my crew. There is a time and place to be a wreckless a-hole and that time is far away from anyone else yet he tried to send it over and over directly towards people and their boats. Not a good look.
Considering he built the thing and will have to repair any damage he does, why not laugh? Not like a rich guy who paid big money for a finished product, drove like an idiot, and had to pay big bucks for someone to fix it.
If you enjoy that type of river, come to Missouri and float (canoe) down the northfork river. It’s ridiculous. And has a natural cold spring as well that has natural stones around it to jump into it. It’s sick. Clear AF. it’s so beautiful. It looks similar to that river. Rock bottom. Not much sand.
TVA Ocoee hydro plant: Cleetus is boating on the river and needs some obstacles? Ok shut her down!! TVA Ocoee hydro plant: Now he's stuck and needs to come back down river? Ok open her up!! You guys should Put in on the other side of the dam and scope out Ocoee Lake too! Lot's of finger tributary's to explore and really pretty scenery! Bang that dent out with a piece of 2x4 and a 5 pound sledge hammer.
Cleetus!! My boat is on the lake on the other side of that dam! Hopefully you enjoyed the fireworks show tonight! Let me know if I can do anything to help you guys.
@@JasonRyanWilson I use to have a vacation home on Douglas lake. It's got to where the water seems just not too clean as it use to be. Cherokee is the same way. Norris is a beauty of a lake.
@@tnridge Powell Valley resort is a nice place to invest. It's on hwy 63 outside of Lafollette. Short drive from I75. Douglas and Cherokee have been known to have high mercury levels in their water. The TVA has always tried to do a good job. They just pay their people too much money lol.
PLEASE make sure to check your doggo's for ticks after you're done up there, They are absolutely terrible this time of year and the Geogia/Tennessee Area is loaded with them.
Quick tip for you Cleeter, when boating like this if you can, try and always go up stream. That way if your boat does break down, you can always float her back. Ask me how I know ;)
Put in on the St. Croix up here in MN. (Stillwater) south w/current, met Miss. River in Prescott, WI. continue to Red Wing, MN. Stay at SUPER OLD St. James hotel (cowboy pics, 1800's antiques, COOL A.F.!). Head back in A.M. w/like ¾ tank...think "WOW, pretty good MPG!!" HA....HELL NO. Against current chugged more than a frat party beer bong!!! Stopped 2x for your (at the time) $5.25 per/gal. river gas. My point (yours is definitely right on, b.t.w., mine b.t.w. too...) B RING T he W ALLET!!!!!
@@jasonaldenhaley1 We were on the St Croix a few years back and got stopped by the Wis DNR in a no wake zone for idling to fast. I told the officer that was how slow my boat would go. He said he would ticket us if we didn't slow down, so I got out the auxiliary propulsion device (AKA paddle) he didn't see any humor in that and we both got ticketed for over speed in a no wake zone.
@@gereatricfolk479 you have to pay at the scene still?? Was in Interstate Park, car, to go cliff dying (when still legal on 'sconnie side) was going....ha...25mph in a 15mph zone.

@@GreatLakesLogger I didn't want to say that a dog is a human. That is obviously not the case. I was merely arguing the case, that a living, thinking being has innate rights, regardless of what other beings think of said being. Don't mistake my comment for something that it isn't.
Purpose built river jets use much thicker panels for this exact reason, and use fore/aft stringers instead of longitudinal to prevent any unlikely dents from hooking on the stringers. I’m still very impressed at the durability of these little boats given the light duty of the material they used.
You guys think we should extend the month of Freedom a week?
Absolutely
Is their even an option?!?

And she didn’t look scared at all while Cleet hat the Oh Shite face.
give it time man, give it time...
Cleet cares about that stuff, Maddy just laughs.
That’s what happens when you have boatloads of money, pun intended
Considering he built the thing and will have to repair any damage he does, why not laugh? Not like a rich guy who paid big money for a finished product, drove like an idiot, and had to pay big bucks for someone to fix it.
If you enjoy that type of river, come to Missouri and float (canoe) down the northfork river. It’s ridiculous. And has a natural cold spring as well that has natural stones around it to jump into it. It’s sick. Clear AF. it’s so beautiful. It looks similar to that river. Rock bottom. Not much sand.
TVA Ocoee hydro plant: Cleetus is boating on the river and needs some obstacles? Ok shut her down!! TVA Ocoee hydro plant: Now he's stuck and needs to come back down river? Ok open her up!!
You guys should Put in on the other side of the dam and scope out Ocoee Lake too! Lot's of finger tributary's to explore and really pretty scenery! Bang that dent out with a piece of 2x4 and a 5 pound sledge hammer.
I'm surprised Cleeter didn't try to drive up the dam.
lets have a safety meeting now 😭😂😭😂
Honestly love when YT suggestd old Cleeter vids. I cant believe its been nearly a year since this!!!
Cleetus!! My boat is on the lake on the other side of that dam! Hopefully you enjoyed the fireworks show tonight! Let me know if I can do anything to help you guys.
Your expression when you hit the rock was the “pucker” face of all time. “Did I hit the big rock?”
Shirt?
All you need is a smoker/bbq on the back
Omg yesss
That'll be a 6 video series.
Plus a mini fridge and couch
Cleetus when he’s hitting rocks is like 😬 Maddie is like😆 😂
My hometown in Tennessee has the best lakes on earth, Norris lake, people from all over the United States come here for the lake and mountain!
I love Norris. We've had houseboats at Blue Springs and Straight Creek at Maynard's! Great lake.
@@JasonRyanWilson I use to have a vacation home on Douglas lake. It's got to where the water seems just not too clean as it use to be. Cherokee is the same way. Norris is a beauty of a lake.
@@tnridge Powell Valley resort is a nice place to invest. It's on hwy 63 outside of Lafollette. Short drive from I75. Douglas and Cherokee have been known to have high mercury levels in their water. The TVA has always tried to do a good job. They just pay their people too much money lol.
PLEASE make sure to check your doggo's for ticks after you're done up there, They are absolutely terrible this time of year and the Geogia/Tennessee Area is loaded with them.
James has been waiting his whole life to use that Tennessee line as soon as he crossed the border lol love it!
Hey man! You passed through Dalton GA, the racetrack y’all went to. That is my hometown! It’s awesome to see you guys where I live!!
Quick tip for you Cleeter, when boating like this if you can, try and always go up stream. That way if your boat does break down, you can always float her back. Ask me how I know ;)
Put in on the St. Croix up here in MN. (Stillwater) south w/current, met Miss. River in Prescott, WI. continue to Red Wing, MN. Stay at SUPER OLD St. James hotel (cowboy pics, 1800's antiques, COOL A.F.!). Head back in A.M. w/like ¾ tank...think "WOW, pretty good MPG!!" HA....HELL NO. Against current chugged more than a frat party beer bong!!! Stopped 2x for your (at the time) $5.25 per/gal. river gas. My point (yours is definitely right on, b.t.w., mine b.t.w. too...)
B RING
T he
W ALLET!!!!!
How do you know?
@@jasonaldenhaley1 We were on the St Croix a few years back and got stopped by the Wis DNR in a no wake zone for idling to fast.
I told the officer that was how slow my boat would go. He said he would ticket us if we didn't slow down, so I got out the auxiliary propulsion device (AKA paddle) he didn't see any humor in that and we both got ticketed for over speed in a no wake zone.
@@gereatricfolk479 you have to pay at the scene still?? Was in Interstate Park, car, to go cliff dying (when still legal on 'sconnie side) was going....ha...25mph in a 15mph zone. How it was then if you were outta state - pay right now or off to the big stoney lonesome. Dude was just a complete DICK too. Only time i had wished i WASN'T from MN...Ha!!
Yall should get walkies for the boats on the river
You need a “hot foot throttle” basically is a pedal mod for boats
It's like the anti whisky throttle for boats lol
@@meziked yep there are quite a few humorous videos of people riding a dirt bike for the first time and end up crashing hard because of whisky throttle. Check em out! 🤣
I love boats with Hot foot pedals,
Not the best for big lake cruising but amazing for river ripping
I can't believe these guys don't have a BIG FOOT throttle. I put one in my ski boat.
Your golden retrievers remind me of mine everytime I see them on your channel, best breed there is 👍 my boy Rusty lived 13 happy, smiling years til he passed just last November. Thanks, Cleetus, for always having amazing content and the best attitude. Not to mention, the coolest dogs around 😁
1:13 "The only *person* up would be Holley."
Good man, James. Good man.
Ya...... a dog is a dog, no matter how special.
@@GreatLakesLogger legally. At this time.
We haven't yet scientifically disproven the presence of feelings, conscious self-awareness, reason or morality. So, technically, they could even be a person.
@@daszieher it would have been extremely apparent hundreds of years ago. If they were human, they would have been able to better themselves and their surroundings independently of humans. Its extremely obvious there is no human element to them whatsoever.
@@daszieher and btw, it is impossible to lift a dog to a human level. You can only lower humans to a dog's level. Sadly this is happening a lot in today's society.
@@GreatLakesLogger I didn't want to say that a dog is a human. That is obviously not the case. I was merely arguing the case, that a living, thinking being has innate rights, regardless of what other beings think of said being.
Don't mistake my comment for something that it isn't.
Amazing how durable the boats are. Don’t try this with a fiberglass hull!
They've just about sold me on one from these videos, I'm hard on my toys lol
Purpose built river jets use much thicker panels for this exact reason, and use fore/aft stringers instead of longitudinal to prevent any unlikely dents from hooking on the stringers. I’m still very impressed at the durability of these little boats given the light duty of the material they used.
