The videos just don’t stop!!!! Sometimes I actually shake my head when I see another post from Cleetus. You guys are putting in so much work and we appreciate you so much. Congratulations on the win at Rocky Mountain race week. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the summer has in store!!!!
I feel that after a certain amount of time so many TH-camrs just make videos so they can run ads. Cleet has been keeping it real for years. Not only has he managed to stay relevant and positive, but also continues to levels up with bigger moves every year. Your videos made me fall in love with drag racing 👍
I was just thinking the same thing!! It's crazy how everything he does is interesting, every video I know is worth watching. Nobody has freaking jet boats in my country, maybe the millionaires/billionaires, but i know its gonna be interesting. Always is.
Was never really interested in drags much either until I started watching cleetus. I also love that he's taking our skids to the states, you have been looking like fools for years when you do your little brakestand "burnouts" lol
the owner of b.m.f. boat 's dale bean and i went to school together and he ran with me and some other friend's he is a small boat builder and I'm glad to see him get such a great review. dale bean is an honest guy and has worked hard to keep his small shop of guys going . he and his brother,s worked for the big guys for years. dale made it to production manger and was there for years before he went out on he's own thanks for the support cleetus
I know what you mean, I had a Duckworth, great boat, then in the mid 2000's all those great companies got gobbled up by big conglomerates. Great to see some of the talent, like Dale, went on to builds the boats the big boys would never build.
The far reaches of motor sports amazes me. It’s super cool to see how people in different parts of the country have fun. Thank you so much for showing us this 👌🏻
“Craziest thing I’ve ever done” - LS George. Also LS George, “Is this the winner’s circle?”, after a using a wheat field as brakes after 9 second quarter…. That boat ride up and down the river must’ve been off-the-chart intense…
It's always amazed me the engineering that's in one of these jet boats. To be able to power up river in those rapids is amazing. That's no easy feat at all. Awesome video cleet. Amazing boats
As one of the many guys who helped build Beau's AMAZING 28' twin, as a man who has devoted most of his working life to badass boats of all kinds across the globe, and as an Idaho boy born and raised, let me be the first to say Welcome to Idaho, Cleetus and WE'LL BLOW YOUR MIND IN THE BIG WATER! I can't WAIT for you to hear those LT4's hooked to real workhorses for pumps, brother! We take jet boats to a different level around here, man! ❤️
Question for you - is it just me or is the guy who was piloting the boat Cleetus was in a great driver? Seemed like he hit every obstacle perfectly, but I've never so much as been in a jet boat so it's hard to say for sure.
Hey, as a lad from Christchurch New Zealand, I've got to ask, why the heck do these boats have a leaver for steering and not a steering wheel? Looks way harder to control in that big water.
@@chrismarsh7476 much finer control in big water atually. It has a lot more throw. It also has a huge advantage of knowing exactly what direction you have it pointed.
I used to work for the Marine Patrol in my state on the coast and I drove a 40 foot aluminum twin jet patrol boat. That one had turbo Yanmar diesels making 440hp each and monster torque. The pumps were MASSIVE. watching this reminded me of running that boat in rough water. What a machine. I miss it.
Thanks for the nonstop incredible videos over the last couple months. It still blows my mind that the channel continues to get better and your still doing things like editing every video. Congratulations on Rocky Mountain Race Week to you and the entire team

Bishop Bullwinkle would say ," hell to the naw naw" Absolutely the craziest thing you have done yet. I dont own a boat , but definitely getting me a flotation key fob. Thanks for doing it for Dale
Hey cleet, finally made it out to the FF for klutch kickers this weekend, it was AMAZING - also my first drift event, so much fun. I saw Maddy there and she was nice enough to take a pic with me, thank you!!!! Been with ya since that first 1320 video man, thanks for sharing the journey and letting me be a part. Being in the FF was so sureal, remembering you building Leroy in Jeremy's garage, wow. KEEP IT UP BROTHER
The power of relatively mild rapids is frightening, these rapids look terrifying, then some jet boat just rides up them no problem. It really is just so insane.
this is what I'm used to doing. Idaho has some insane rapids, those big jet boats are freaking rad. awesome because you can take a group of people WAAAAY up river to the hidden areas and go fish for some monsters. they have some MASSIVE sturgeon up there. long as your boat
Well....here we go - the next boat about to be on the channel. No chance any of you can go on that ride and then not say....we need one.....looked like hella fun brother!
@@MrSupermugen you buy an rtr and try to drive it in comp with next to zero seat time. I very highly doubt it was an impulse buy, but maybe a poor choice to use it over Donnie this round
This has been an awesome year for the Jet Boats and white water rafting. We have had so much rain. This is why I have never been able to leave Idaho. I'm almost 40 yo now so probably never will.
@@alanhinkel420 I live 40 miles North of Lewiston. I pretty much lived in Riggins in the spring my parents took us White Water rafting every year. Everything from your normal raft to wooden Dory it was a blast. Now we do a lot of fishing from our jet boat and usually my uncle and I ride our Harleys down to Riggins and watch the jet boat racing. It's a blast to watch. If you have a bad back or knee I would recommend staying away from the knarly rapids 😁 we ain't rich enough to afford air ride seats like these guy's.
I think a "Florida Man" shirt with a "Florida Man License" card, a mini-jetboat, a ripsaw, and an air boat would be a cool addition to your merch line. Oh, and I love that you keep your language pretty clean, unlike a lot of other content creators! Thank you for that!
85% Boat....15% Submarine in some conditions.....Now you know why there are windows on the roof of those things, to see where your going 🤣 Those conditions were exceptional because of the large rain storms that took out most of the roads into Yellowstone Park. Idaho has some of the most serious rapids in the USA.....Got to give respect to GM for those LSA marine power plants....They are pretty AWESOME in those boats. Those boats impress me more in low water conditions getting up shallow streams that seem an impossible task.....The term "SEND IT!" comes quickly to mind when navigating a river in a full size Jet Boat. Lewiston , Idaho is one of the places some of those are built.
These guys ever want to go in the sand we've got LS powered sand cars as well. That motor is a beast for more than just cars, boats and what ever needs an engine swap.
Watching them submarine that boat and seeing the water come around the windshield was insane! That would have definitely put a brown spot in my shorts the first time punching through it untill you gained confidence in the boat and the pilot... 🍻
This was GREAT TO SEE! Lewiston Idaho has been my home away from home for over 20 years now. A gateway to some FINE hunting and fishing, not to mention back country Adventure Riding. As a fellow speed freak, a Former Drag Racer and Motocrosser I welcome you guys to the land of Jet Boats! YeeeeHaaaaa!
"That's the most extreme thing I've ever done" Coming from a man that has been over 150mph in a truck with no brakes and jumped and rolled a wheelie car.
Well that's all he's done. To some people doing 150mph is not that scary to them. Doing this stuff might be scary to some people. Honestly I'm scared of both. This shit looks like constant throw up
George also helped build KaterTot right? That might be the sketchiest car I've ever seen on YT, maybe a toss up with Cleetus's cbr1000 golf cart. There's a reason why he won't sell that thing, actual death trap. Even whistlin diesel doesn't do anything that dangerous.
I got to meet Cleetus at my first event I got to attend Klutch Kickerz 2022.. Was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for showing love to fans and hosting amazing events!
Cleeter needs to take the boys on a camping trip to West Virginia and go on a white water rafting adventure on the Gauly River. They have a whole recreation area and some of the wildest class 4 rapids in the country. No boats running here but paddling with 5 of your buddies makes some sweet memories.
That must have been insane! I love being on and under the water. Glad y’all get the opportunities to do stuff like this and show us! Thanks cleetus and crew for keeping on making videos. Haven’t seen James in awhile glad to see him in this vid. Dueces from semo!
Imagine just doing everything you love every day and that is your life. Oh and you get paid well for it. Im so jealous lol. Absolutely love the channel
In my 42 years on this planet, this channel has stopped any motorsports, outdoorsy or reality show online or on cable TV I’ve ever experienced and I’ve been here for many years watching tall. Thanks to all your extra effort to let us experience a higher level of existence thru your cameras.
Great vid guys . If you think that’s extreme wait until you try navigating in a jet sprint boat. I done it a few years ago it is insane. I can only imagine a jet fighter could make that sort of vertical G,s. Deep south in New Zealand has the most insane jet boating and it’s where the Hamilton jet unit was invented. You guys should check it out one day.
It seems like you would run some maybe 1/2"-5/8" alum plate parallel to the hull in front of the intake. Maybe almost knife edged, but protecting the intake. No higher than needed to direct large objects down and away from the inlet. I'm just not sure it wouldnt be too disruptive on the flow, but it could also be just outside of the intake to limit disruption while protecting it. Maybe they do this already though.
These seem like a blast up there so I could only imagine what they would be like down south. Hopefully, cleetus will step up his jet boat game and get one of these after this.
I can assure you, Idaho whitewater gets a lot gnarlier than that. That's the South Fork of the Payette River. Fun run for sure, but not particularly hardcore.
I was literally just saying the same thing lol. This is about 30 min from my place. Still a great time rippin up and down the South Fork and fishing it too.
Airboats are often used for extreme water rescues. We had one growing up in NY. Yankee Airboat Company. We had a 1.5" teflon armor plate the full length underneath and side armor. It was built for rapids and ice rescues. They actually do quite well in rapids since their propulsion isn't in the water at all. So other than drag itself, water speed is irrelevant. If you ever watched or do watch the movie "Chain Reaction" with Keanu Reeves, he drives a Yankee Airboat across the frozen lake. Very very similar to the one we had. Ours didn't have the rescue equipment always on it. We did have it, in case it was needed. The towns around us knew of the boat and would sometimes call us for a true emergency.
I watched the BLM pull 2 of those things off trailers at the Cisco Boat Launch, on the Colorado River, and drive strait up the whitewater at 2 a.m. to rescue some rafters that were stranded in a very steep walled part of the canyon, right on the Colorado/Utah border. All you could see were the spotlights, and hear these V-8's opening up as they forced their way up the river till the sound disappeared. 3 hours later, here they come with everyone cold, but alive!
@@huh4233 yeah, they are virtually unstoppable and can take severe hits with the armor plating. One winter we were out on the St Lawrence to screw around on the ice. First, if you wanna know pants shitting speed in a "normal" boat... airboat on ice with Teflon armor. Fuck. But we hit a jagged falt line and absolutely sent the boat. It gouged the Teflon about 2" wide and 1/2" deep. The hull itself was unscathed and all of our kidneys were on a short paincation. We pounded up and against rocks in rapids, beaches... basically whatever the F we wanted. But with propulsion being airborne, the water could be doing 60mph and we could probably still easily achieve 40mph. Going up river in the channel it was actually faster than the Sea-Doo jet boat we also had. Down river the Sea-Doo had us by several MPH. 10-15 I'd guess.
Cleetus, thanks for making this video and glad you guys had fun. Ryan is a great guy and we are glad to have him and his family dealerships in our town. We are rooting for Ryan in the next World Jet Boat Finals.
Thats looks like a rough ride on video, i cant imagine what it feels like being in there. Somebody said its amazing how hard water is, i found that out at 25mph behind a ski boat with a 6’ ski pole on a knee board. I made a hard right cut into a 3-4’ wake at probably 40-50mph and when i hit the wake i was flying with the birds until the wind nosed the front of the board down and i had no time to prepare for the impact, i woke up to EMTs all around me wondering wtf happened. Good day on the water for sure though.
If I was riding in one of those boats, when I got out I would have said I want to speak to the manager about the poor conditions conditions that these boats were put into..... I mean is just so ridiculous🤣😅😁
All the way to Big Falls! That is impressive! Suprised there were not more logs going by. Fires upstream in past years and avalanches have put major wood in the water. Having rafted those sections it always amazes me how many ways there are to enjoy our rives. Your boats must be reinforced to hold your giant set of balls.
I look now for years from Germany all this amazing content. I love it, for me the best youtube channel worldwide...... Congrats to the overall winner of RMRW......
I'm actually kinda scared to watch them turn around and go back down stream, upstream is one thing, but I imagine to maintain any kind of control they must have to FLY downstream ahead of the current - I guess I'm about to find out! (unless someone else drove the trailers to an upstream launch to pick them up) EDIT: THAT WAS INSANE! also that side-by-side shot at 22:09 really shows you how fast they're going downstream
@@alexpocs8649 I'm actually 6'4" and could imagine the compression that would put on my back. Coincidentally a compression injury is what started my back problems!
I was talking to cletus, I empathize with anyone with back pain, over the span of 16 yrs in trucking in 70's and 80's many of my drivers suffered back pain. Info for cletus.

Is that the same Beau that ran the Niagara Gorge with Chris Bohnenkamp for the first time? One of those boats was definitely a BWC. I used to live about 8 blocks from where they built them in Meridian.

When I first saw the river I thought you guys were bringing the minis in there and I genuinely feared for your lives 😂
did you see the next video he did? He put the Dew boat in...
Twin engine jet boats are relatively common here in New Zealand. Lots amazing rivers for jet boating here 😎.
Dude that’s GNARLY! The water was just THROWING that boat around!
There isn't many people that I am jealous of .. but u my friend are #1 on that list lol freaking awesome
I had a smile on my face the whole video. all the laughing and fun y'all are having is awesome! thanks.
This is like Cleetus trying to convince the Boosted Boiz to upgrade to V8s.
Great vid guys . If you think that’s extreme wait until you try navigating in a jet sprint boat. I done it a few years ago it is insane. I can only imagine a jet fighter could make that sort of vertical G,s.
Deep south in New Zealand has the most insane jet boating and it’s where the Hamilton jet unit was invented. You guys should check it out one day.
Yep, NZ is definitely the place to take this next level
AG1 sounds like that stuff on the Matrix. All the body needs..💪
this is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Thank you Cleetus for this magical greatness of American Freedom!!!
Had no idea boating could be enjoyed this way. This is hands down insane.
I wonder if 200 years ago anyone ever thought people would be flying up the rivers in a piece of man made ingenuity
In 200 years certainly noone will anymore ^^
So awesome to see people showing love to my home state.. Idaho is so underrated y’all
It seems like you would run some maybe 1/2"-5/8" alum plate parallel to the hull in front of the intake. Maybe almost knife edged, but protecting the intake. No higher than needed to direct large objects down and away from the inlet. I'm just not sure it wouldnt be too disruptive on the flow, but it could also be just outside of the intake to limit disruption while protecting it. Maybe they do this already though.
ive never seen a group of guys smile that much for that long .looks like u all were having a blast
These seem like a blast up there so I could only imagine what they would be like down south. Hopefully, cleetus will step up his jet boat game and get one of these after this.
they are just a everyday fishing boats up here in the Pacicic Northwest
One of these would be awesome on the St.Johns river,LOL
In the swamps of Louisiana we use pro drive and gator tails and air boats 😎.
I’m a simple man Cleetus uploads I click on it
Here we go boys, this is most likely going to be a banger, literally. 🤣
by far the most entertaining channel on youtube. Cleetus needs 10 million subscribers pronto!
The smiles were real 😁 super sick boats!!!
I can assure you, Idaho whitewater gets a lot gnarlier than that. That's the South Fork of the Payette River. Fun run for sure, but not particularly hardcore.
I was thinking " they taking a run up the lochsa during runoff?" ... still fun
@@MT2Ocean the water would be so white there boats would be sucking air.
I was literally just saying the same thing lol. This is about 30 min from my place. Still a great time rippin up and down the South Fork and fishing it too.
You gotta ease them in to it a bit, can't throw them in the deep end right away.
What section of what river was this?
Hell ya brother you’re here where I live.
That looks like the salmon river.
I love Idaho !
S. Fork Payette river
@@lanedayton7848 oh ya next to highway to McCall right near cougar mountain
This could always help wild rescues in these types of waters
Not sure how much can be rescued if trapped in such insane rapids... I'm a good swimmer but imagine I would die in minutes.
@@Mis73rRand0m facts💯
Airboats are often used for extreme water rescues. We had one growing up in NY. Yankee Airboat Company. We had a 1.5" teflon armor plate the full length underneath and side armor. It was built for rapids and ice rescues. They actually do quite well in rapids since their propulsion isn't in the water at all. So other than drag itself, water speed is irrelevant. If you ever watched or do watch the movie "Chain Reaction" with Keanu Reeves, he drives a Yankee Airboat across the frozen lake. Very very similar to the one we had. Ours didn't have the rescue equipment always on it. We did have it, in case it was needed. The towns around us knew of the boat and would sometimes call us for a true emergency.
I watched the BLM pull 2 of those things off trailers at the Cisco Boat Launch, on the Colorado River, and drive strait up the whitewater at 2 a.m. to rescue some rafters that were stranded in a very steep walled part of the canyon, right on the Colorado/Utah border. All you could see were the spotlights, and hear these V-8's opening up as they forced their way up the river till the sound disappeared. 3 hours later, here they come with everyone cold, but alive!
@@huh4233 yeah, they are virtually unstoppable and can take severe hits with the armor plating. One winter we were out on the St Lawrence to screw around on the ice. First, if you wanna know pants shitting speed in a "normal" boat... airboat on ice with Teflon armor. Fuck. But we hit a jagged falt line and absolutely sent the boat. It gouged the Teflon about 2" wide and 1/2" deep. The hull itself was unscathed and all of our kidneys were on a short paincation. We pounded up and against rocks in rapids, beaches... basically whatever the F we wanted.
But with propulsion being airborne, the water could be doing 60mph and we could probably still easily achieve 40mph. Going up river in the channel it was actually faster than the Sea-Doo jet boat we also had. Down river the Sea-Doo had us by several MPH. 10-15 I'd guess.
You boys listening to limp biscuit Ba-wit-da-ba was the shit in the moment!!!!! I felt it! 😂
Cleetus, thanks for making this video and glad you guys had fun. Ryan is a great guy and we are glad to have him and his family dealerships in our town. We are rooting for Ryan in the next World Jet Boat Finals.
Another Cleeter video. Waiting for the video of you collecting the trophy
Cleet collected the trophy for Rocky Mountain Week right at the end of the last video mate! He spoke so highly of the event, really humble words.
Thats looks like a rough ride on video, i cant imagine what it feels like being in there. Somebody said its amazing how hard water is, i found that out at 25mph behind a ski boat with a 6’ ski pole on a knee board. I made a hard right cut into a 3-4’ wake at probably 40-50mph and when i hit the wake i was flying with the birds until the wind nosed the front of the board down and i had no time to prepare for the impact, i woke up to EMTs all around me wondering wtf happened. Good day on the water for sure though.
The air ride seats in the bean marine fabrication (bmf) boats make for an awesome ride (considering what you're going through)
If I was riding in one of those boats, when I got out I would have said I want to speak to the manager about the poor conditions conditions that these boats were put into..... I mean is just so ridiculous🤣😅😁
All the way to Big Falls! That is impressive! Suprised there were not more logs going by. Fires upstream in past years and avalanches have put major wood in the water. Having rafted those sections it always amazes me how many ways there are to enjoy our rives. Your boats must be reinforced to hold your giant set of balls.
I look now for years from Germany all this amazing content. I love it, for me the best youtube channel worldwide...... Congrats to the overall winner of RMRW......
I'm actually kinda scared to watch them turn around and go back down stream, upstream is one thing, but I imagine to maintain any kind of control they must have to FLY downstream ahead of the current - I guess I'm about to find out! (unless someone else drove the trailers to an upstream launch to pick them up)
EDIT: THAT WAS INSANE! also that side-by-side shot at 22:09 really shows you how fast they're going downstream
So very true. Down river is harder to maintain steering in fast water
Imagine an engine failure on that river
Anyone else think there are going to be some Upgrade to McFarland Marine in the near future?
Flocking Awesome !
Nothing but smiles!!
I would most definitely have suspension seats to attempt that. Either that or be hospitalized with a messed up back afterwards!
Listen to this advise or 6/6 will be 5/9 and a lot of pain.
@@alexpocs8649 I'm actually 6'4" and could imagine the compression that would put on my back. Coincidentally a compression injury is what started my back problems!
I was talking to cletus, I empathize with anyone with back pain, over the span of 16 yrs in trucking in 70's and 80's many of my drivers suffered back pain. Info for cletus.
@@alexpocs8649 Mine is now inoperable since I also have Chronic Lymphocytic Luekemia. Last operation was for sinuses and it nearly killed me as I ended up with a brain infection. Lucky to be alive for sure. I would love to win the lil "Giveaway" Jet Boat, but don't think it would be the best for my back.
I’m ready to see this aggressive water 😂😂😂 gonna be lit I believe
Well that was unexpected! Get some rest dude!
The “ ohhhhh “ at 19:51 sounds like the minions doing it 😂😂😂😂😂
Is that the same Beau that ran the Niagara Gorge with Chris Bohnenkamp for the first time? One of those boats was definitely a BWC. I used to live about 8 blocks from where they built them in Meridian.
Let’s go Brandon🇺🇸 FJB!!!
😅🤘
Absolutely 💯
Cool boats but pretty lame from a camera perspective.
BY FAR MY FAV VIDEO FROM CLEETUS!
No burnouts, no rediculous drifting; great vid!
Hands down, one of the top 5 best youtube videos I've ever seen!
