Love the Roger's videos. Keep them coming... Mike the videos and pictures of the Roger's will be sent to you soon. Had to find them. I,m sending a bbc burnt piston from the blower motor also..newburn you have the excitement I had every time I put a new motor in her. I'll say again. I'm glad you guys saved this boat. The memories going thru my head as I watch it run across the water.
I did. Sold it around 2007. Mike and his cousin ended up with it through a second party mystery Sale. Lol. Boat was ran mostly on clear lake in California.
Our family ordered a new 1976 Rogers Bonneville TR with the blueprinted balanced 454 at the time was rated at 440hp . Loved that boat I'm sure the second owner still has it! Fun and fast running loose with place diverter all the way UP! Same colors Camaro Hugger Orange with white!
Dannnnng guys. Getting SERIOUS Harry Hogg and Cole Trickle Days Of Thunder feels when that music kicks in at 7:05 that scene was AMAZING! Been loving this boat since I saw it in Roadkill. Keep up the great work!
Kevin reminds me of a friend who owns a tattoo shop .no examples on the wall .no tattoos on him self just an award winning portfolio. And so reserved as he draws the art
I had the privilege of skiing behind a boat similar to this back in the early seventies. The owner's son was a national speed skiing champion. I was a lifeguard at Lake Barkley State Park and there is great water to ski nearby. Enjoy!
Hey Finn, that's how you breathe new life into a 45 year old Rogers Hot Rod Jet Drive. Way to go Mike. I love seeing these Hot Boats out on the rivers and lakes! Too Cool!
Hearing the water slap against the hull of the boat just got me out of my living room and out in the garage with the TV on and the boat out of the field and in the shop 😁
I love how FInnegan knows exactly how a jet pump absorbs horsepower. Thank you for being a good source of information. Including clearances, curves, etc.
It’s great to see some current Jet Boat technical content. These LS engines are at least 200 lbs lighter than an iron big block so it will be great to see the results. The tunnel ram looks wicked but at 5000 RPm I’d like to see if it would pick up speed with an ugly dual plane intake.
Your comment is what I was looking for. You are correct, that big ugly intake is killing overall power big time, especially in a boat. Boats need an overall good powerband/lots of torque throughout the powerband. You put an air gap rpm dual plane or similar intake, and that boat will pick up power across the board, at get to it's top speed way faster. Those tunnel rams are outdated 70's technology that actually cost you power. Very surprised they went with that intake set up
I have a supercharged Chevelle with a serpentine belt driving a Vortec 10psi SC'r, I have had every kind of bad issue with that serpentine belt system. I have now purchased a 30 PSI Vortec SC'r with a cog belt drive system. No more serpentine systems ever.
David is enjoying his sweet jetboat, nice! He is a great part of the channel. Kevin is killing it again, doesn't matter if it's a car of a boat, if it needs to go fast, Kevin of KSR got your back!
Helped a guy fix his jet boat on a lake camping trip (carbs)On the last day he took my friend and I for a ride. After a fast bumpy ride we entered the no wake zone. He lost steering.He looked back at me and said grab the vise grips and clamp the steering cable for me! I’ll never ride in one again. Nice seeing this one built correctly 👍
I have a sweet spot in my heart for jet boats. My best memory with buddies was in a jet boat on the lake. Now 25yrs later my other buddy has one with a BBF im working on might have to get my self one.
Getting there, getting there. There are projects that everything just seems to drop in, then there are.... and you have to wrestle EVERY part and 10th to get it together and you have to sneak up on it, getting there!
I am at minute 9:04. When newborn takes over as captain. Just waiting for the stumble of the motor as he runs out of gas. Wait for it wait for it hahaha.
Recently sold my exact same model jet boat called "Thearpy". BBC 454 with same type headers. This boat had primitive type cooling though. Had to manually open and close water valve while driving to cool exhaust. Was nice to see Mike's shiny chome pipes, because mine had blued from overtemp. Enjoyed video!
If you wanna get around filling in oil checking for oilpan leaks just put a good bright led flashlight in the pan, leave off the gasket and screw it shot - dimm the shop lights and look where the light breaks through. Anything off will show up pretty easy and everything without any oil clean up afterwards. Give it try - Regards Smarty
Glad you got it on the water That boat was my first fast boat built a big block Chevy on shoe string Took 3 years make 100 Scard the crap out me Really like your videos
Thanks for making Jet Boats Great Again! And like Finnegan said, pumps being built specifically for your engine is key, shout out to Larry’s engine and marine Tucson Az for blueprinting mine. She screams.
I've done seen Kevin's video on this! I'm glad to see your side of it! Love the channel and content keep up the great work! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
@finnegan'sGarage next time try lapping the bottom of the oil pan AFTER you bend it back. Use 3M spray glue on the back of 4 pieces of sandpaper and glue it down to a flat table. Then smear a little Kerosene on it and rub the oil pan in a figure 8 pattern until you get a fresh clean pattern across the whole mounting surface. Never leak again.
My father was one of the first people to own a jet boat in the US, back then the only one available was a 3 stage ( I still have the pump). I would love to see a comparison of "pull power" between 1,2 and 3 stage pumps. I know the speed of a single totally blows away a 3 stage, but would like to see a "power" comparison, Great video, great work on the boat.
Quality control! Most Manufacturers don't have a quality control department the customer is the quality inspector. 7 out of 10 things I buy don't fit or it's missing parts or broken.
Rain or shine , that’s what it’s all about ….having fun ! 😎 A friend of mine has one of them with a big block 454 with a solid lifter cam and water cooled headers , one mean fun boat and rooster tails for 50 yards ! 😎
Love seeing Kevin from KSR is getting around
He’s the biggest helper for everyone that wants to go fast!
Kevin Knows his shit....all 3 of them do.....
Hy
100% agree, I love all the Finnegan crew and the Cleetus guys and Kevin just brings a whole vibe and I love it
Kevin is a beast.
So glad kevin is getting a reputation built up. Such a humble and kind fella that guy is.
i thought he just always photo boom everyone lol
He really deserves it. The man works his tail off.
Straight up G for sure
³33³3223³w³
Agreed. His humility is matched only by the sheer quality of his work and the extent of his knowledge.
KSR Is involved in all type of stuff
Love the Roger's videos. Keep them coming...

P.s that thing hole shotted like a beast. Won alot a races against v- drives because of how hard that boat would leave out the hole.
You used to OWN This boat!???
I did. Sold it around 2007. Mike and his cousin ended up with it through a second party mystery
Sale. Lol. Boat was ran mostly on clear lake in California.
it's been a fun project. thanks!
I live on the lake right by where they are doing this and was trying to take a nap. This thing is loud and sounds awesome.
Most of neighbors probably didn't appreciate the wonderful sound of LS jetboat with open headers 🤣😂
Sorry about that
Makes a great alarm.. lmao..
Me too I hear them pretty often. It’s not a bad sound lol
@@12VoltDave you're way cooler than Cotten. That dude is a jackass.
Good to see Kevin from KSR at your shop! Already knew he did the tuning on Game Over, good to see the love continues.
Kevin showing up in lots of videos. That nice to see.
Newburn enjoying his boat was like watching a kid on Christmas morning,great stuff
So happy for Newbern
Kevin makes everything better!
Seriously!
I'd have to agree, Kevin's tend to do that
@@kevinwalsh6450 well, maybe not you......🤣
@@michaelreynolds1904 maybe a Karen ?
@@kwhite145 dear God, no!
It’s so awesome to see a big youtuber produce high performance marine content!! Love the build!
Thanks for watching!
Favorite thing about you is that you always seem to be very selfless with your friends!! Awesome! Ready for another road trip video!

No Better Day, Than "New Jet Boat Day". Congrats Newbern, She's A Beauty!
Thanks for explaining that stuff Finnegan for the people I don’t know jet boats!
Great to see KSR's Kevin
Hey Finn, that's how you breathe new life into a 45 year old Rogers Hot Rod Jet Drive. Way to go Mike. I love seeing these Hot Boats out on the rivers and lakes! Too Cool!
Kevin a Good Dude! Good people come together for the Motor Sports!
Kevin!! Hell Yeah Brother!!
Never fear KSR is here
Voids warranty by beating on oil pan, improves fit, quality and performance 100%. That is hot rodding!
I want to see Finnegan, Cleetus, KSR, and PFI to all work on a project together! Can't imagine a better group of dudes
BINGO! Kevin for the Win..
Classic #01. Thata boy Newberg..😳 that ending
I love watching Kevin ! He's like a wizard but out of his element.,...but he get's it . Don't know him but he's genius
His channel is great from a technical stance. KSR Performance
Nice to see Kevin checking it out.
Thanks. I took a break from my tip dipping exercise in the shop to watch you guys struggle with parts.
I love seeing Kevin doing his thing helping others along the way! He’s a good dude and so is everyone else on finnegans garage
Hearing the water slap against the hull of the boat just got me out of my living room and out in the garage with the TV on and the boat out of the field and in the shop 😁

@@larrysummers8966 Check out some dyno videos on tunnel rams. The latest ones from Holley and Edelbrock make really good torque.
Congratulations Newburn on the Renegade hitting the water! I have loved that boat since the first episode in RK/muscle truck! Enjoy brother!
Always happy to see Kevin around.
@18:20 Dave goes Early and Squirrely
Fun Stuff! Thanks Mike!
Kevin is the man! Love that guy! Glad he is lending his knowledge and effort.
Never appreciated jet boats before, but you have me as a fan now, thanks!
STOCK PUMP BOATS ARE LAME ...THISS ONE IS TIGHT LIKE A TIGER ......SO PERFORMANCE IS TITS.....
Weird catch, but at 12:18 under load the belt starts to walk off the balancer.
ya also at the very end what was leaking by the intake? fuel?
I came to the comment to ask about the belt walk on the balancer to see if anyone noticed it.
I have a supercharged Chevelle with a serpentine belt driving a Vortec 10psi SC'r, I have had every kind of bad issue with that serpentine belt system. I have now purchased a 30 PSI Vortec SC'r with a cog belt drive system. No more serpentine systems ever.
When Kevin says "that will hold a gasket" or "good enough" you know it is at least twice as good as it needs to be....
IKR he is sooo ocd in a good way
That's what I was thinking too! Good enough to Kevin is plenty good!
All it ever needed was just more RTV...
Does everyone living on this lake hear a loud boat and instantly think OH Mike got another damn boat!!!
Love the boat content I worked on the U-2, U--99 and U-100. Big fan of Boat racing. All types.
really enjoyed seeing Dave in his boat. there was something special about it.
Yay Kevin! And wow... what stellar quality control on that pan 🤣
Kevin is everywhere! 😁 Stand up smart dude.
Love to see Kevin getting more popular. Super professional guy like finn and Dave. Good fit.
Kevin's the greatest guy

Was only paying half attention for a minute and thought I might have seen Kevin and a minute or two later I was pleasantly surprised to see him
Finnigan and Kevin in the same video. You know its going to be awesome!
Matching your prop (or impeller) for your engine is an art form.
Getting there, getting there. There are projects that everything just seems to drop in, then there are.... and you have to wrestle EVERY part and 10th to get it together and you have to sneak up on it, getting there!
Just convinced me to NEVER think about paying good coin for a Dooley pan, what an absolute nugget that was.
Happy to see Dave having a blast with his new boat.
That boat really needs a mural of Lorenzo Lamas as Reno Raines somewhere on there.
Another fun vid, keep them coming !
HELL YEAH BROTHER can't go wrong with KSR giving a helping hand on anything
That music when you get into the boat, right on point
After what happened to the last motor in this, surprised you guys didn't rename it to the Renegrenade. Congrats on the lake whip David!
I am at minute 9:04. When newborn takes over as captain. Just waiting for the stumble of the motor as he runs out of gas. Wait for it wait for it hahaha.
Well amazing they did not run out of gas in two trips. Congrats to that!!
12 Volt Dave in Renegade, nice!
always fun watching you work
I am nowhere near close to being a boat guy, but I do have to say that is one badass boat!
😎👍🇺🇲
Makes me want to get 1 now. Thanks Fin!
do it.
That "Days of Thunder" style music is special. Nice touch.
Yeah, Newbern is hooked! FR
Recently sold my exact same model jet boat called "Thearpy". BBC 454 with same type headers. This boat had primitive type cooling though.

Percussive maintenance for the win!
Kevin is everywhere now! I just left Target and he was working the Men's shoes section too.
I'd love hearing that thing at full tilt boogey with a 8-1 header set-up. Already makes beautiful sounds man, congrats!!!!

Hello Mike and David the boat sounds and runs awesome 👌
Renegade and Game over. what a great name duo. Don't change the name.
Glad you got it on the water That boat was my first fast boat built a big block Chevy on shoe string Took 3 years make 100 Scard the crap out me Really like your videos
Thanks for making Jet Boats Great Again! And like Finnegan said, pumps being built specifically for your engine is key, shout out to Larry’s engine and marine Tucson Az for blueprinting mine. She screams.
Absolutely love Kevin. Always does awesome.
Great Video and great boat! Need an update on the new Toter Lincoln Hawks replacement
Great information that I didn't know I needed but it sounded very much so.
Nice boat! . Makes me miss my old 77' Youngblood-Apollo LS7/Berkeley
Never thought of it like that but being on water like that is similar to being on a engine dyno. Engine masters lake side edition.
Good job getting a new engine in it right away!
I've done seen Kevin's video on this! I'm glad to see your side of it! Love the channel and content keep up the great work! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace

Between videos like this, and the project boats i see all over Facebook market place, i really wanna get into boat restoration.
Well done,mate,love the smile’s all round,,all the best from Australia 🇦🇺.

Quality control! Most Manufacturers don't have a quality control department the customer is the quality inspector. 7 out of 10 things I buy don't fit or it's missing parts or broken.
Damn I want one of those welding tables!
Hell yeah! Been pumped to see this happen! Stomp on that loud pedal!
Really liked how you ended this one off, no boring outro, just Bam.... We done!
Loking forward to more toter work
Rain or shine , that’s what it’s all about ….having fun ! 😎 A friend of mine has one of them with a big block 454 with a solid lifter cam and water cooled headers , one mean fun boat and rooster tails for 50 yards ! 😎
It was nice of Cleetus to let Mike borrow Kevin.
I think that is the most number of names I've ever used in a single sentence.
Hey kevin!!!
8:27 "its like flipping a switch" Over the Top.
This whole fast boat thing looks really fun. I just can't stop catching bass long enough to get very involved. Life is good. :)
I see Kevin across like 10 channels, he’s the real mvp
But you have kevin there only one of the best if not THE best automotive fabricators who can help ☺
Oh hey Kev I just saw you in the wind tunnel
