I might sell this thing for a Jet Boat. What y’all think?
Pls don’t do it
Send it!! I see Fin had some influence on ya.
Do it. Give Finnegan a run for his money lol
Seems legit. 🤔
@@IHAVETHETISM 👎
all you need to do is paint "In need of ... " before the "fire and rescue" :D
He should match the fire truck with the same livery
or he could paint a Dat the end of rescue so it says fire rescued lol
That would be nice!
Would be cool to give it a NASCAR look too
Oh hell yeah!!! Good one LOL!!!
@@Brandizzleizzle that might cause problems if he ever tries turning right
When’s it going down the drag strip? The internet needs to know a hovercraft 1/4 mile time.
Probably too sticky
This needs to happen.
Down the Drag strip on a rainy day :-)
After they add the turbos.
My guess is, on a sticky surface like a drag strip, somewhere between 22 and 25 seconds
Hi I am a Hovercraft owner of many years. Just wanted to point a couple things out to you for your safety in case you might not of heard. 1. Never go across a piece of land or beach do you have not previously carefully looked at to make sure there are no dips in the ground, or Rivulets Where water has run down through the sand. A 3 inch deep by 3 foot wide deep in the sand could cause you to lose your skirt pressure and the craft will hit the ground throwing all the occupants forward and causing major injury. I am a paramedic so I am well aware of these risks. 2) the place it took you five minutes to go in a hovercraft might take search rescue a long time to get to you to help you in an emergency. 3) . You may travel up a piece of water that no other craft goes up. Somebody may have strong a line or a cable across that water thinking nobody will ever come up there at speed and get hurt. Cables and lines are hard to see when you are moving on a hovercraft. You may go around the back of a piling and there is a cable there that you didn’t see. Also a piece of rebar, or sharp stick may be sticking out of the water and it is dark and hard to see. Please be aware of these three dangers of Hovercrafting . Other than that God bless you and have a great time I share in your joy and enthusiasm. Simon, BC Canada 🙂🙂👍
Always leave the lift engine at near full revs when in use! No need to lower it until your stopped. That's how the skirt gets torn up.
Top 10 greatest one liners in TH-cam history: "Sometimes, you gotta hike your skirt up." LMAO!
Put decals on the side to make it say "If on FIRE - RESCUE us"
Add "if you see us on" then "come" and "us" so it says "if you see us on fire come and rescue us"
Left spicy Spence hanging at the end 😂man just wanted a high five
Burg Built 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 I thought I was the only one who noticed
Yeah I see that
F
Why'd cleet do his man dirty like that?
he did him so dirty hahahha
I think you've got to put a "/7" decal on there, so it reads "Hover 24/7"
This. I was trying to think of something based off 24 and you nailed it brother
@@Cam710 maybe 24 second quarter mile...
I just realized, Cleeter definitely needs to take this to the track!
@@thomasjohannesen1003 nah too much. The /7 is subtle and dope lol
This needs to be top comment!
“Florida man gets bitten by alligator while trying to repair hover craft.”

"Florida man bites alligator while repairing hovercraft"
@@Panzerpaul92 😂
Golden Puff dude almost lost it laughing about this😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Golden Puff hehehe😂😂 cleetus would do that
@@steverebuilds152 YES HE WOULD.
8:32 Maddie comes in with the dynamics of weight distribution dynamics! love it! what a perfect couple! :) cheers and Let's Goooooo!
Two days in a row? I've died and went to cleeter heaven!
I got you brother
I tell ye what!
Hell yeah brother!
YeeYeeeeeee!!!
Just started my channel maybe cleetus will watch. I take trucks into the mountains and bag on em. I just want to make people laugh.
Cleet: You notice all the guys on the airboats wearing headsets?
Maddie: WHAT? 😆😆😆
WHAT!?
Wife- “babe- what did you do while I was gone?”
Me- “watched some dude rip around on a hovercraft “
Wife- “we aren’t getting one”
Grounds for divorce?
stu booth 😂😂 nah. She loves toys as much as I do 😬
@@AngryTurds obviously
Just get one when she’s not looking lol
We're not as in together or you're not? Because I already bought one...
Just a reminder that you need to MAKE SURE the trailer is LEVEL when loading/unloading the craft! There are plenty of examples on YT of tracked vehicles sliding sideways, and off, trailers and the hovercraft has NO lateral grip in the first place!
Oh, and if there's a wind, try and align the trailer into the wind, so it doesn't get blown off the side!
When Cletus, a guy who has almost all his cars running NO mufflers whatsoever, says it's loud, it's LOUD!!!
Other than that, looks like y'all had a lot of fun - and the thrust prop' should have given a nice cooling breeze, too!
Honestly 10/10 for the camera girl. She is a natural at filming
I thought the same. Couldn’t even tell it wasn’t one of the boys that normally film until she started talking. 👍🏻
Giraffe "Dude that was sketchy"
Spence "I know dude look at the tire marks you left."
Absolute gold.
Thank you for finally getting comfortable enough to include your girlfriend Madi in the videos. She's a nice and very welcomed addition to the videos. No longer a sausage fest and can also include a female opinion of things.
The fact that you let her rip the c8 down the track alone and she nailed it just proves she is also a badass funhaving individual.
You know what this channel needs? More dudes!
Imagine you're minding your own business fishing in the river and ole Cleeter pulls up in his fire rescue hover craft 😂
"Im getting out of this house and going fishing, its too damn loud In this house!"
Cleeter pulls up on the hovercraft...
@@TheDersEffect8 "OH C'MON!!!!!"
“It’s a collector item” 😂 there’s always that guy out there trying to sell his crap that says the same thing
Everything is a collectors item to someone, unfortunately those who collect a specific thing always think because they like it then its worth its weight in gold.
The hover craft is really really being experimented with in the US military, there are new hover crafts cable of carrying Abrams Tanks to shores, it’s the ONLY vehicle on earth capable of taking a Main Battle Tank and transporting in on ice, snow, sand, mud; water, asphalt, any jars surface and H2o base and transport with ease , no strain on drive trane an anything else, something that’s been around for SO long is bieng looked at by Skunkworks, Ratheon, the US Marine Corps. the Army and Navy! It’s a simple concept that’s so relatively easy to build, it’s no $130M jet, it’s a 50 year old concept using fans and engines of any power! Tellin ya cleetus, this is getting bigger keep HC in the channel.
21:06 RIP the guy fishing with a hovercraft landing on a boat ramp
That poor guy.
@@andrewkelly3702 bad luck for him 😆😆
@Kermit of Rivia RIP little Timmy
Who thinks a boat ramp is a good place to fish...
@@ervendanielray3136 actually they frequently are, dead bait gets thrown in frequently at the end of the day so it attracts a good population in the area.
I love the way Leeroy has “TURN ON INTERCOOLER” and the hovercraft has “THINK!” on the dash, yet you rarely do either! 😂
Instead of “fire rescue” make it say “freedom rescue” and replace the fire emblems with bald eagles
👌👌
Truly a great idea, what a message!
YES!!!!
Hes already getting rid of it
Love that external shot when Maddie was just chilling standing up in front of the prop and cleeter went on land and she wasn’t phased at all.
And next time hopefully you gotta know what the trim flap (on the top of the side rudders) is for. If you lower the trim you raise the rear, which will allow more air to flow out of the back and give you even more speed. Raising the trim flap will lower the back, which gives you more control for cornering.
Keep it on! Hell yeah, brother! 🤘
The flip flops and the shorts were the perfect touch true Florida man
Maddys quote of the day. "I like it when the skirt blows up." Lol hell yeah Brother
We need a “hike your skirt hovercraft” shirt.
👍👍from this guy
Ok.. ok... Josh, you sir are a genius 👏 👍👍😆😆 perfect shirt idea!🇺🇲🦅
That thing is so Rad! I also bought a personal hovercraft made by Hovpod last year and took it out on it's maiden flight a couple days ago. I chickened out when I got it on the water and didn't realize that I needed it to get out the hump. I just didn't want to get stuck out there so made a B line right back to the boat ramp. Watched some videos when I got home and now with more knowledge, I think I'm ready. You've got big enough property, don't sell it. Keep it!
Cleetus I LOve that you’re bringing Maddie on these adventures! Super cool girl and a new personality to the channel , need to get her a project car, she can drag race so time to build her a car or let her go at drifting, I have a good feeling! 👍👍
911 - "this is 911, what's your emergency?"
Someone - " yes I'd like to report there's a giraffe driving a Fire And Rescue HOVERCRAFT!"
911 - "pranking 911 is not taken lightly sir!"
Lol
Non Compliant because they r funny
@@Sailor_Tom They are, you just have no sense of humor. Learn to spell "not" too
GAMEBRIDGE 30535
‘not’ not “not” 🤦♂️
If you’re correcting someone you can’t make mistakes yourself 😂
@@Sailor_Tom it's 2020 and people are still complaining when they don't like somebody's comment instead of just scrolling past..
Can we all just take a moment and appreciate the lack of notice to sign on the dash that say's THINK!
SOMEONE GIVE THAT MAN A HIGH FIVE! Cleet you really left him hanging
Yeah, that kinda sucked.
o/
I noticed that glad someone else did too, f for my boy spencer
He did that to kevin as well a couple days ago at the drag strip.
Yeah that suck he left Spence hanging. Disappointed in you cleet. What a let down for Spence he was pumped!
I love how this channel has quickly evolved from “watch us go fast” to “ the life of a racetrack owning, hovercraft driving, Floridian Giraffe”
I thought it was becoming the Maddie and Cletus show myself. Js
10:16 Love Maddy's wave to the fishermen like oh hey
"I see you cleaned it."
*camera pans over to years of grime rust...*
Sarcasm "WOOOOSH"!!
After a rough couple of days this made me smile all the way through the video thank you Cletus
I remember when it was Cleetus, James and Cooper.. those days are long gone 😪
Miss those days
JH and Spence seem to be with him much more regularly these days
I skip threw a lot of content now....
James is a dad now
@@Jake_Hamlin he always was..
This made me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside after a painful night shift. Love ya Cleet and thanks for the smiles.
Lol, that poor bastard try to fish at the end when Cleet was trying to make it up the ramp. I’m guessing he didn’t catch much after that. Great day, great repair. You now know what you need to hover more successfully, a repair bag & ear protection, a bigger gas tank, definitely a blower of some sort, nitrous, an LS.engine. Other than that - perfect day on the river!
What do you expect by fishing at A PUBLIC BOAT RAMP, lol.
You smell that.
THAT'S *FREEDOM* BOYS
"The skirt is so funny, I love when it blows up" ME TOO! lmao 😎
Now that’s a T-shirt.. “sometimes you need to just hike up your skirt!” With a pick of the fire craft
Madi is such a fun addition to the channel. She's adorable.
Holy cow that thing is fast! Imagine how much faster it’s gonna be with a Texas Speed motor in it!
Ad: "Can even the most familiar roads lead you to the most unfamiliar places?"
Me *Skips Ad*
Cleetus: "HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!!"
So I'm assuming between the scat and this thing the freedom factory is getting a lake installed. Lol
*The new hovercraft needs a Freedom Factory wrap!!*
F R E E D O M C R A F T
@@chadfren 🤘😁👍🇺🇸
13:40 hear we see the wild florida man in natural habitat. FANTASTIC VIDEO
10:17 imagine being on the river in your little aluminum dinghy and then a wild giraffe listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd blasts by you at full tilt on his freedom machine of a hovercraft 🤘😂
Imagine fishin and all of a sudden a hover craft comes flyin round the corner
Cleet has got good taste in music, I heard that Jamey Johnson!
21:56 tough break for Spicy with missed high five with ole cleet
“360” so RAD!🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎
'sometimes you just gotta hike your skirt up' 😂😂😂😂
"Sometimes you gotta hike your skirt up!" Lol
I'd buy that T-shirt... :-)
Clet you should make a shirt that says “Maddie grab your helmet” with her standing in front of the C8
That would be sick
New T-shirt ....." Sometimes you just gotta hike your skirt up"
This channel is the best automotive TH-camr channel for sure.
BEST hovercraft video, yet!! So badass ripping up the river! Looks perfect,
"Lets get back to the boat dock before it gets dark." That thing literally has a miniature sun on the roof lmao.
Theyre in the swamp. The bugs come out at night.
“We’ll try to put out a fire if we see one, or we might catch on fire” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tore the skirt and ran out of gas could also have a second meaning
giggity
Now my mind is in the gutter with you. Lol!
Me on Friday nights
Worked for me !!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😄😄😄😄😄🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
The shot at 13:56 looks like a video game! Well done brother!!
@7:38 That was so scary dude. I'm shakin. That was so crazy. "You did good" ~ the strong one
Madi's a natural... Honestly a huge improvement as a regular on the channel broski..
I cant stand her
@@SomethingFunny454 maybe keep stuff like that to yourself there...
@@jerredfraser1848 why?
I think he wants you to bottle your feeling up...@@SomethingFunny454
@@doozerchuck8625 That's not healthy, I could explode :)
21:55 RIP high five man! We will mourn the day you were left hanging
Dalè Llama yikes! Missed it the first time
Who ever was trying to fish while you were getting that thing up the launch ramp ain't catching nothing lol
They're catching air.🤤🤭🤭
Given the option of fishing or watch live Cleeter horsing around the ramp - I'm gonna watch the girrafe/clown in the hovercraft, every time! 😂👌 ...and I love fishing
Dang JH! That Darude Evinrude is a classic piece of american history! Especially with Evinrude shutting its doors.
Proper use of Life vests. Still in the bag with the tag. Hell yeah brother!
Reminds me of the movie 'ChickenRun'....."WE NEED MORE THRUST!!"
I love when fat Chris Pratt is on the show! JH you rock ma man!
That thing looks like a Freedom Flip Flop
WOW, That thing is so cool Cleetus, I wouldn't be surprised if you have started a trend, so keep your eyes out for more hovercrafts geat oing to see the light of day again. Go Hard You Good Man, Go Hard!
Loving the addition to the team Maddy for the win
yesssss hovercraft content 🔥🔥
this hover craft addiction is the only thing i care about anymore
Just when you thought it couldn't get any more "Florida man....."
I love the "sometimes you just gotta hike up your skirt" T-shirt idea for this.
Buy the way, how are the air breaks on this hovercraft?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love the video Cleetus
Godspeed brother
To you and your crew.
Hate mid roll adverts but the way you did it was 1000% better. 👍👍👍
Hey Cleetus I think Rugged Radio would be perfect to have setup in the hovercraft, I bet they would sponsor this beast. Just a thought!
They got em for the cars.. should definitely get them for the hovercraft
Don't need to buy more, its not like they will be at race week type events and also hover craft at the same time.
Real talk...Michelob Ultra is the exact opposite of "Doing it for Dale".
True story!!!
There is only ONE KING OF BEERS!
Might has well be drinking a damn White claw.
I don’t think I’d go in that water.
Its not the beer we drink that does it for Dale, Its our heart Brother
The guy on the jet ski couldn’t stop staring at the hovercraft. He was definitely jealous!
Not jealous. Curiousness.
Not every person you come across has nefarious intent or covets others possessions. Why couldn’t he just think it was really cool?
Chloe I wish more people would see the world from your positive point of view
Chloe Hennessey It’s called a joke.... Btw thanks for the life lesson, I got one for you. maybe have fun sometime instead of being a crabapple. 👍
Troy Gurk , you have a good attitude.
GGW I try to have fun, definitely needed in today’s world!
Aleck got jokes at 9:26 lol. Looks like he's getting along well.
I love it Brocephus!!! You need to let one of your bros take the scat out with you when you take the fire & rescue out!!! That would be too cool 😎 😎 😎!!! For real!!! Keep the hovercrafts & just buy a jetboat when the time is right Brotien!!! Dont lose a dream for another. No trades man. You kept Leroy when you got ruby. You kept ruby when you got Danny the drifter. Point is that you have to keep your dreams and just keep adding to your assets. Plus having all the toys you can start multiple channels about multiple toys!!! More channels more revenue. And that can never hurt. Help get more dreams for more content!!! Win win win Brocephus!!! Have a Blessed day!!!
I'm so slow, I was thinking oh shit he is about to hit the side of the river! Then I remembered he is in a friken hovercraft
Miss coop and James by your side :-(
What happend to them?
Same. I don't really watch the vids anymore
nothing happen to them
Yes, we need my Jackstand Jimmy, he is all about going fast, at any cost. It would be nice to see his cars also.
“That there brown water looks like gator water.”
That Wisconsin beast still rips!!! Get some ear protection guys!!!
Here you can see the giraffe 🦒 in its natural habitat drinking mountain dews and spittin hell yeah brother like it’s going out of style yeyee
"Let's get back to the boat ramp before it gets too dark"
But has enough light bars on it to light up the entire river
“And I got three games of bowling last night, guy couldn’t touch me”
Tshirt that says “Skirts Up!” and a silhouette of Marilynn Monroe in that classic flying up skirt.
While shes standing behind a hovercraft hahan
Makes me miss my dad's jet sled. I remember us getting stuck on rock when I was about 13, told me to get out a push.
Looks fun.
I can't wait until my health improves.
10 weeks of pain and kidney stones has really suckd.
Good thing old cleeter is out there having fun for the rest of us.
I like hovercrafts more than jet boats for the sole reason that you’re less likely to die. Hovercrafts are sketchy, but jet boats like Fins are deadly IMO
U live much,,,,,?
It’d be a lot cooler to hold the “World’s Fastest hovercraft” title
Collin Fleischer I wonder if he’s working his way up to the fastest hovercraft. 🤔
@@drewshepard8002 need to add a 200+ HP engine to the scat and a 30 inch fan, and convert it into a formula 1 hovercraft which do 60+ mph
When you were running on the grass, all I could imagine was a trail of gophers being blown out of their homes behind you.
I was just hoping there wasn't a hidden tree stump or something but you gave me a good chuckle there
Cleetus doing a skiddy in the carpark in the hovercraft haha
Remind JH not to take his shirt off in public lol
