He brought his lifeline jacket it in case he actually got into the throttle, which you can clearly see in the video he did not. Some people just cant watch a good video without a smart ass remark...
@@sessions33 He is just showing the audience what a lifeline jacket actually looks like, if you know anything about fast boats and Mike he would wear it if he was to actually get into the throttle.
That is one badass boat. Great job on the build. Gotta be a huge accomplishment knowing you’ve built a one of a kind no one else has ever done! Congrats.
It's great to know that one of the guys you watch to have some laughs and make you feel young again is also man enough and smart enough to take heed and be a great parent and teacher for his kids and his audience. I always get a kick out of your humor and have a blast watching you have a blast, but this time more than ever I really applaud you for being the grown up in the room. It is certainly refreshing... The boat is KILLER too!!!! ;)
Seriously reminded me of my first outing with my jetski. Fully built engine, and wasn't running quite right at first. Now she's running 81mph on a baby supercharger. About to install the big boy and see where she goes. Game over is the baddest boat I've ever seen. You guys did an amazing job!! I've been waiting a long time to see her on the water!!
My uncle raced flat bottom boats from the 1980's till mid 2010's.. 871 blower on a stroked 454... I was about 10ish when he took me for a drive.. I can still feel my legs shaking from the adrenaline surge I got... it was like Heroin to me... I'm in my 40's now and still chase that adrenaline rush.... thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories.....
There will always be a demand for a show like RoadKill !!! It's just real acknowledgement to the rest of us that, yes there are others that use duct tape and zip ties and what ever else is handy, to get our vehicles going. Laying under my big rig on the side of the road in a rain storm, figuring out how to fix or patch something. ALWAYS makes me think, what would the RoadKill guys do with this !!! There will always be a job to do. So enjoy the time with the family while you have it. !!! Good luck, Thank You for the great videos and smiles & laughs you give us all !!!
That is a beautiful boat. I mean everything about that boat is eye candy. Great job building it. Story time- When I was a kid in the late 70s, my dad had a friend with a shorter boat than that that had a 454 with dry stacks, a tunnel ram with two Holleys and original Bud cans everywhere. It sat so low in the water, if you weren’t moving you should be bailing water out. He took me out by myself once, I know now it was to scare me, and I’ve never been more terrified in my life. From the time he mashed the pedal I felt like death was inevitable the only thing in question was where it would happen. I had tucked that memory away in a dark place until I heard you say you were taking the kids out in it at the end. Your kids are lucky.
I’ve waited so long to hear this engine actually work, I can only imagine how you feel. Even if it runs out of gas it’s still the coolest looking thing on the lake.
I was wondering if he was going to get excited about driving and tuning and forget about his fuel level and get stuck out there. I don't recall what fuel he is running.......I'm guessing high octane race fuel as it doesn't sound like alcohol engines I have heard and it seems like E85 wouldn't give him the level of performance he is after.
@@mdspaghetti4949 you can hang out with one person outside of your houshold at a time. If you are a family of 4 or more you obviously are allowed to continue living together 😂
Mike - we are with you. Just want to encourage you. You are knowledgeable, skilled, humble, creative, daring, and you make people laugh. All gifts that make the world a better place. If Motortrend doesn't have room for you because of the craziness in the world today, fear not. The rest of us can't live without you. That said, I doubt Motortrend will be foolish enough to give up their best presenter on their most popular show. No guarantees, but when it is not Finnegan and Freiburger or Finnegan and Tony the juice is not as sweet. In addition we have your channel where we can follow the fun in-between the fun. Keep smiling. As long as your loved ones are safe and well. Know that thanks to you I've had a reason to actually look forward to Mondays. In addition there are the surprises you've posted in between.
Yes mike.. you're stuck with us now bro we need a s*** ton of more jet boat videos ..anytime you're out on the water f*** we'll even watch a V-drive if we have to preferably not though
I wanna see a jackass style video of a dude on a motorcycle ditch the bike at 180 and james bond it up out... Or flip the t tops out and ejector seat that shit... Lol
Thank you for the update and the video Mike. In light of whats up in our world it was refreshing to see you and Newberns faces again. Take care always.
Not sure how Newbern can drive and keep a straight face. I would probably still have a smile stuck on my face just watching that thing from shore. Congrats on getting it on the water! It has been really enjoyable following along the past few years.
@@nielsreiziger4850 Yea. And there are things that could go wrong when they really floor it.. we are dealing now here with a water as a surface. If engine has some problems or anything else with a boat like that and a little wrong kind of wind, the boat could flip or some else crazy stuff could happen.
I felt compelled to write a response, just based upon the fantastic write-up you provided in the description.

As an energy auditor I’d suggest that instead of wrapping the headers... I’d install a radiant barrier. Radiant barrier requires at least 3/4” space on either side to work. Polished aluminum will work great and look cool as well
Mike - It's so cool to see you test in the areas I know well. I've watched you on Roadkill with Dave for the last few years when you were in CA. Now, I see you test driving your cars on the roads I grew up on, the boat on the lake I grew up on and racing on the drag strips I've raced at. Wish you could have been here pre-2005 to race at the 1/8th mile in Dallas, GA. Surreal! Keep it up!
That thing is a beast. Congratulations to you and your guys. Cant wait to see a WOT passI thought my 528 Hemi sounded mean. 711 twin turbo is like beautiful music
Full throttle blips would cause water to get into the boat. The air draft is maybe 6 inches for this boat... and you can't drop the throttle either.. that would cause the back end to sink.
Stay safe - congrats on the successful shake down. I have watched this thing for years and love that you've gotten your payday, regardless of the challenge we're facing.
Still have my guts intact despite having a lakewater enema. I got mine on Lake Lanier at only about 45 mph (estimated in a quick switchback). Didn't know about the Kevlar underdrawers so can you please recommend a dealer? Maybe the water in Lanier isn't as hard as Allatoona...
NICE! Looks like at least one of the kids got a ride. Great payoff on a project that’s been under construction for so long. I can’t wait to see it at full tilt boogie.
Who, in the right mind, wouldn't love the shit out of this?! YES! This is definitely a Man's toy! No doubt. Job well done! I really appreciate that you actually finish your projects. Not too many people do, and because of that alone, I like watching your videos. Be safe... have fun!!
I could hear how thin that hull is when you guys were just sitting there and the little ripples where underneath....Beautiful boat, congrats on an awesome build...gawd I love boats : )
Frank Place made some awesome boats, and that's one of them. That hull may have been originally been built as a Blown Fuel Jet drag boat. With that motor and those turbos, the potential for big time white knuckle acceleration and speed is there. And that's one of the best hulls to handle it. Thanks for sharing!
It’s a cool boat. I have to say that as a Coast Gaurd Captain, I’m glad you’re the one operating that boat and not me. Someone below said it best, “I guess it’s important to record the events that will lead to your demise” I didn’t see either one of you with a life jacket either. No excuses. Wear them at all times, particularly with that boat... cool concept, but I’d only ever idle that boat. Be careful.
Sweet project. Those front cylinders on the port side look really rich by the color of the exhaust. (blue unburned fuel in exhaust burning) Little more tuning. Super awesome boat.
I appreciate the text and that you're taking the corona virus situation seriously! Stay safe and hope we can keep the spread even and slow so that the hospitals dont get run over!
You yelled "It's Running! IT'S RUNNING"... but what I heard was "It's hunting... it's hunting"... #SurgingAtIdle DON'T WRAP THE HEADERS! Heat block on the fiberglass is definitely the way to go. Watching this gave me flashbacks of my boating days on Shasta and Whiskeytown Lakes in NorCal. It wasn't a drag boat... but 150hp on a 16 footer still scoots pretty nicely.
Beautiful boat you've made, the details make it look professional and top notch - well done. I raced jetboats a few years ago and learned a number of things the hard way so if you'll indulge me I'll share a couple. Keep a very sharp eye on engine temperature because it's easy to pick up a bit of debris and block cooling water (depends on your setup of course and if you are running heat exchangers or straight through). Temp has always been my most important instrument and I watched it constantly. Get another tether strap and hook it up to an engine kill switch - seriously there'd be nothing worse than watching that beautiful boat run down the lake by itself while you're treading water and hoping someone spots you, except maybe the damage it does when it hits something or someone. Cheers
All the best in these trying times, Mike. Thanks a bunch for the very cool distraction. I hope you'll be able to race your boat come the summer. Otherwise, there's always next year!
Recently realized how close I am to all the stuff you're doing. Great to see you using Allatoona and it's nice overly full state which makes it easier not to hit any of the trees still down underneath the water. I feel your pain with being and quarantine I have also been with my wife in our house since the 3rd and will be until the 27th we're almost there. Can't wait until all can get back out there and back at it having fun with the vehicles.
Congratulations on a few successful runs on the lake. I know how you feel driving so e thing you have spent a lot of time on. Coolest dad ever making some great memories with thee family.! BTW, nice restraint on the right foot. It is not easy.
Towards the end it sounded like it still had a slight stumble but then again I'm not there in person lol. The boat looks and sounds great, awesome work guys.
Kids at School: "My Dad is the coolest dad ever! He's a big rig driver and we go fishing sometimes in his great out board motor boat". Finnegan's Kid: "My dad is Finnegan from Road kill" Kids at School: "Can we come to your house?"
Rear end really low watch out for the back swamp coming over the transom. Reminds me of my teenage days on the lakes in cali. Enjoy and burn a tank for me. God bless you and your family aloha
I probably speak for everyone when I say ditch the music when that lovely instrument is playing. I can listen to that engine run forever.!!!!! Well done it is insane
Possibly he had some bad wind noise.
@@andycrawl2128you could hear them twin turbskies though a tornado
Such a beautiful noise
Could use subtitles when you're talking while it's running, though.
Yes no music
“Those fishin’ guys are gonna be stoked!”
I laughed so hard at that.
Love how he said "I brought my lifejacket" then proceeded to not wear it once during the whole video
TheyCallMe Pizza I don’t think it would have done much
He brought his lifeline jacket it in case he actually got into the throttle, which you can clearly see in the video he did not. Some people just cant watch a good video without a smart ass remark...
@@tp8382 its perception he says he is gonna be safe and wear a life jacket then proceeds to not wear it.
@@sessions33 He is just showing the audience what a lifeline jacket actually looks like, if you know anything about fast boats and Mike he would wear it if he was to actually get into the throttle.
He just wanted to show off his chute jacket. Dreams of Eddie Hill and the day that tub will bust 100.
That is one badass boat. Great job on the build. Gotta be a huge accomplishment knowing you’ve built a one of a kind no one else has ever done! Congrats.
I can’t imagine the self restraint needed to not goose the throttle a little!
They built it so I'm sure there is some mechanical sympathy
I can’t be the only one sad not to see a little rip
I daresay that engine build cost a pretty penny, even before the labour...
I always said, trust your work.....let her rip tator chip...
krazed0451 pretty sure it’s right at 100k not including turbo setup
It's great to know that one of the guys you watch to have some laughs and make you feel young again is also man enough and smart enough to take heed and be a great parent and teacher for his kids and his audience. I always get a kick out of your humor and have a blast watching you have a blast, but this time more than ever I really applaud you for being the grown up in the room. It is certainly refreshing...

That very lifeline jacket saved my friends life. He didn't flip his flat bottom but hit wakes and was thrown out testing his new 427 chevy.
When you have a video of this boat actually accelerating I want to see it.
Thanks for the info imma go watch some actual content lol
Me 2
Thats what im saying
You should see them full speed if they get ejected they will need that parachute
He posted it th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
U showed a lot of restraint Finnegan!!! Lol that thing is begging to b opened up
Hahah sounds like it was running at 2%
He couldn't if he wanted to. What it's begging for is a tune that works.
Primed Evil yeah it sounds mad like abunch of wild pony’s wanting to be let out in the range
SwaffyX 10% tps from what I saw :)

Get those headers ceramic coated - should solve your heat problem.
Was just about to comment the same
stop idling around...that might help solve the heat problem.
Yep, ceramic coat, also protects the stainless so they stay looking nice.
Ceramic coating would be more expensive than heat wrap but would look nicer! And less heat-soak!
dry exhaust on a boat is pure cancer. there is NO airflow down there.
My uncle raced flat bottom boats from the 1980's till mid 2010's.. 871 blower on a stroked 454... I was about 10ish when he took me for a drive..

I want to thank you ...for taking the time and effort...to include all of us in your many ventures...It Is appreciated!!
Heat shielding definitely, don’t cover those gorgeous headers! Can’t wait for full noise
Ceramic coat the headers maybe?
Tavarish tape lmao
AWESOME! But ditch the music, I want to hear the motor instead of the music!
Miguel probably choppy audio from the wind
I get tired of people complaining about music in videos like this. But I was seriously disappointed when the music started.
Yep, I wanna hear the chop. The rock music is so old-school lol.
In case you didn't notice, the engine is running like shit and they never opened it up anyway.
@@stuwest3653 its still cool to see the progression of runability.. :)

Finn,
I hope your pilot's license is still valid. You're gonna need it 'cause that beast is ready to fly! Stay safe and healthy.
Saved my day in quarantine 👌🏻 greets from Germany
Are you really quarantined to 2 people max???
No that’s fake news just if you life with only one person you aren’t allowed to visit your family.
@@mdspaghetti4949 you can hang out with one person outside of your houshold at a time. If you are a family of 4 or more you obviously are allowed to continue living together 😂
Both of you deserve a victory 18 pack for the self restraint alone. The look on Dave’s face when he fired it up. “Oh yea. I’m bad”
I was actually pissed when you cut to music while driving. I was quite happy listening to the Hemi rumble along threatening to kill people.
Ditto
Came for the twin turbo hemi, left as soon as the first note was struck.
"What's wrong ?"
"Nothing. I'm gonna let Newbern drive."

Radiant barrier requires at least 3/4” space on either side to work.
Polished aluminum will work great and look cool as well
Glad to see you taking the kids out for a spin. Planting those seeds to make sure they never have any disposable income left over, lol!
WHERE'S THE 50 FOOT ROOSTER TAILS
Glad you took the kids for a ride!! Badass man, just wow on the build.

Gee, I would like to see BIG AFR on that little screen!
That thing is a beast. Congratulations to you and your guys. Cant wait to see a WOT passI thought my 528 Hemi sounded mean. 711 twin turbo is like beautiful music
Ha has more self control then me
I would of made it about 5 min and then it would of been foll throttle blips lol
Full throttle blips would cause water to get into the boat. The air draft is maybe 6 inches for this boat... and you can't drop the throttle either.. that would cause the back end to sink.
I can voucher for that statement ask me how I know lol
Once this boat gets up and running to full potential, Matt Farrah needs to start his one wake series again starting with this boat 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I miss Matt. Does he even still do the podcasts anymore?
It’s absolutely awesome and horrifying all at the same time
Stay safe - congrats on the successful shake down. I have watched this thing for years and love that you've gotten your payday, regardless of the challenge we're facing.

nothing says safety like an enima warning. jesus i really have to rethink my dreams! hope all is well.
Nothing says safety like 1000hp jet boat and no pfd's.😬
I like how he talked about the life vest and then didn't wear it! Ha!
Yeah wear the vest so they don't have to search the bottom for your body.
That's why I wear a buttplug at the lake
Don't read the stickers on most wave runners then lol
6 years in the making, thrilled for it to come ALIVE! Can't begin to describe your excitement
Even somewhat muted through those turbos... that engine sounds angry. I love that sound.

twice i've gotten "high speed enemas" just from water skiing. can't imagine getting one at 100+
That's why I never tried barefoot!
I so love the idea of that much engine, in that tiny, little, light weight boat..... I WANT TO RIDE!!!!!
"Im gonna let Dave drive it for a little while!"
"Ok then, I will call 911 and get them started!"
I could hear how thin that hull is when you guys were just sitting there and the little ripples where underneath....Beautiful boat, congrats on an awesome build...gawd I love boats : )
Reminds me of "suck my wake" from The great outdoors movie
I just said the same thing!!! 😁😁😁😁
Blow some coin on a kick ass drag boat
Yes, just need some water skis and they are set.
Shoulda got the pontoon boat
Frank Place made some awesome boats, and that's one of them. That hull may have been originally been built as a Blown Fuel Jet drag boat.

Man what a wicked piece!! Super glad to see it on the water!!
High Speed Enema that sounds like another name for Game Over

Man I miss Allatoona, it has been a while since I've been out that way! Your boat is a beast!
Mike, keep your family safe and keep doing what you do so the rest of us can dream about doing the same.
This is exactly how my grandmother operates her boat. Nice and slow. She wants her heart rate to be below 60 at all time. You know, barely alive.
Def a shroud on the gunnels opposed to covering the headers. And perhaps a shroud over the u joint. Can't wait for WOT! Nice build.
I like the guy's friend fishing away, while he's going my cousin won't believe I saw you. Lmeao
Congratulations on a few successful runs on the lake. I know how you feel driving so e thing you have spent a lot of time on. Coolest dad ever making some great memories with thee family.! BTW, nice restraint on the right foot. It is not easy.
I guess it is important to document the events that lead to your demise.
Vicious - but funny...
I think there is a strong ring of truth to his comment. That boat should come with six handles on the side.
Flat spot? Just apply more throttle - fixed! Just kidding of course. So awesome seeing this project come together. :-)
Where’s cleetus McFarland when you need him, FULL PULL!!!
XD
Doug Anderson the hell
@@douganderson7002 Boi, He NEVER Clickbaits. He says it and he Delivers Plus Some. I wouldn't even bat an eye to back him up on that.
That driveshaft cover/aluminum block came out nice, love the build
How long will the fuel tanks last at full song.
Something tells me that it's not classed as economical family boating. ;-)
And he is running 118 octane race gas which is like $14 gallon!
@Babylon falling not even close to that way way closer to 3 gpm for sure
@Babylon falling Did you skip class on reading and comprehension day?
Towards the end it sounded like it still had a slight stumble but then again I'm not there in person lol. The boat looks and sounds great, awesome work guys.
That thing moves faster on 5% throttle than most boats on the lake ever could.
Moves faster on 5% throttle then my daily driver 78' C10 ever will! Lmao
Great to hear you and crew all good so far... we all hope this blows over sooner than later.
I’m here for the engine sounds not some B grade fill music.
Build your own and listen to it.
Bend up some sheilds, don't wrap those gorgeous primaries! Stay healthy & good luck with EVERYTHING!
Less music more HEMI :)
Kids at School: "My Dad is the coolest dad ever! He's a big rig driver and we go fishing sometimes in his great out board motor boat". Finnegan's Kid: "My dad is Finnegan from Road kill" Kids at School: "Can we come to your house?"
No. It's stay at _your own_ home quarantine. 😂
@@AnttiBrax try that sentence again lmfao
Roadkills dead R.I.P
Good to see you involving the kids. Some of my fondest memories as a kid are of spending a day on the water with Dad in his Rayson.
30 mph at 2600 rpm .... god I can’t wait to see how hard it runs at WOT !!
Rear end really low watch out for the back swamp coming over the transom. Reminds me of my teenage days on the lakes in cali. Enjoy and burn a tank for me. God bless you and your family aloha
Todays video is brought to you by something i wont wear..lol I love the videos man. wear your life jacket
Awesome. Finnegan's Garage, learn new expensive and exciting ways to die. You have, by a huge margin, the best toys on TH-cam. 😍😍😍
