This boat has a very tight intake grate which prevents most rocks from being sucked through, but the real key is to get speed up to the shallow sections and bring the throttle back to idle as much as possible.
This is a demo boat we ran for the year of 2010. We run a new 1775 every year but still service all of the boats in our videos. We have never put a dent in one and have hit some pretty big rocks. If you want a boat that can handle abuse, this is definitely the one. I have never seen a structural issue with one.
OK, I know that the bottom of the hulls of boats like this usually have UHMW to protect from rock strikes, and to make them slide over rocks easier. But, just how in the world do you keep gravel from going into the jet pump and damaging it?? I'm guessing the spacing of the bars on the intake grate must be REALLY close.
+Braden Panasiuk I figured as much. I'm running a PWC pump in my jet boat, and recently improved the intake grate to a stomp-grate design, with 1/4" spacing between the bars. I usually operate in coastal waters, with sandbars and oyster beds, but I want to start going to some of the inland rivers, and I knew that the grate needed to be re-designed to deal with gravel.
Don't know about this boat but I can say about the open jet boat I won at 30 feet long - 6 foot bottom at 10 degrees bottom and a Chevrolet Big block 402 at 700 pounds I run with 1500 pounds on board in 4 inches of water. My jet boat being long and wide surfs on the river suffuse and with 500 hp big block it can do maximum grunt torque power.
I've been very interested in upgrading to a 1775 extreme duty. but it is a big purchase and i dont want to make a mistake. how long have you had yours and are there any problems because of the abuse you throw at it?
As Jet boat owner and fishing guide I can say this is extremely bad on the impeller when rocks cause impeller blades to round out and gouges in the impeller and it wrecks the impeller ring. I could to the same thing even with my 30 foot open jet boat with a 500 hp Chevrolet 402 big block but I'm not stupid to do it then coasting me a good $1500 in new parts and repair time for the boat being down
We filmed a handful of similar videos on this boat with minimal impeller / wear ring damage at the end of the season. They key is pulling the throttle back to idle anytime the intake is touching bottom. At idle these make almost no suction into the pump. The 1775 extreme duty also has a much tighter spacing on the intake grate vs many jets and is also raised up a bit higher compared to other sport jets.
@@gibbonsmotortoys Do what please, but for me with being in guiding since 1976 I know better what wrecks a jet pump and when my boat is my main work tool, I'm not going to mess it up putting me out of work. Also, when clients are on board, I am responsible for their well bring not getting thrown from the boat for a stupid showing off move.

Sweet. I got a 07 1775 white water. Gotta make a special trip just to experience that river.

Not even a scratch on the bottom after that run. It's all welded aluminum with a 1/2" of UHMW plastic on the bottom. It's extremely tough stuff.
Your garage MUST be chock full of spare part with the way you thrash your boat.......
nice boat choice...I love mine.

These Extreme Duties have a wicked stomp grate and an overall design that is meant to be punished. We're picking up a couple this month.
my jet boat would suck up rocks and start cavitateing. What type of grate do you use?
How on earth do you go UP a water fall without smashing the hull to bits??
Хорошее видео, но в завершении каждого фрагмента интересно посмотреть импеллер и статор в каком они состоянии.
Haha no wheels. Momentum is your friend along with a slippery bottom!
HOW'N THE SAME HILL DO YOU NOT PUT HOLES IN THE HULL?????
Athabasca river near Whitecourt.
What river was this on?
Athabasca River near Whitecourt, AB
@@gibbonsmotortoys I bought an Alumaweld jet boat in 1987, it sure has been fun and handy and not just in the Ozark streams.
Somebody what to buy my Harborcraft 1875 White water so I can go see these guys and buy an extreme duty 1775? Soon real soon!
How shallow will it run before it drags bottom?

What river is this ? I have to try..
I have a headache from listening to this.
3-4 inches is enough to run without touching bottom.
that cant be good for the bottom of the boat

Nice
Imagine the mindlessness of people enjoying this kind of noisy, destructive stupidity!
