Nice Rig your running! I think vids like this get all of us fired up to get our boats out on the water, I running a Donzi Black Hawk with a blown 502 built pretty well and running open headers after seeing this I need to get it on the water!! Be safe!
@@carolmarable6825 Flat bottom WITH a Vdrive. Not some stooopid inefficient vacuum thingy. Jet drive is literally the slowest propulsion method for a boat. It's called physics you Feltcher....
@@TriptoCo Yes I agree douche-nozzle, jet drives are a waste of horsepower. And those of us who've actually owned drag boats know that when we refer to them as Flattys and Hydros we are talking about v-drives.
@@TriptoCo Fair enough. My apologies then of course. I'm just trying to figure out where there was any mention of a jet drive with regards to this boat. I thought you were referring to this boat in particular which is obviously a v-drive. I'm definitely a v-drive man myself. I've owned 2 Sangers and a Hallett. I even owned a Eliminator jet bubble deck that I bought new in 1977 that was pretty fast for a jet. Just a real smooth riding family/ski boat. Anyway, once again, my apologies for misinterpreting your comment.
At 4:59 we put our flat bottom on a wicked sand bar just right of the tree on the right. My dad was pulling me late in summer 1983 or so. He managed to get about 25' in about 3" of water and soft sand . How'd we get it off ? Drove it of course, we almost lost the shaft the coupling held on by a 1/4 inch . Had to float back took like 2 hours Fun times on the river

Awesome vid, Can't wait to get my 71 Hondo flattie out this summer. I'm in Az so go out to Parker on the Colorado river. Be safe!👍
Played the Golf Course a lot many years ago, there were a bunch of hot boats on it when it had water in the River.
Just like a Harley. Turns gas into noise without the side effects of power or speed....
You've OBVIOUSLY never had a ride in a badass Flatty or Hydro in your life and your ignorant comment is proof of it.

@@carolmarable6825 Yeah...ah.... I'm an idiot bud. My commnt(s) were meant to be pro Vdrive, or even in IO drive over the vacuum thingamabob..

Amazing
So, no chute jacket or kill lanyard? Just driving around in first gear lol
Funny how the starter sound is from an outboard motor.
Probably a 24 volt starter.

I have never seen anyone keep there glasses and hat on their head in a v drive before! I always loose mine in the first 50 feet!
What the hell is he looking back at!!!!
Sorry about the delayed sound can’t figure it out....
I was testing the boat checking for leaks,first time ran after being built can’t you hear how shitty it sounds?
Life jacket !
How odd......my sis is named Camille & her hubby is Jeff...TEXAS
Sounds like your gears are in upside down.
How many times do you need to look back...?
To make sure he didn't install the Ford Engine.
@@olderbutyoung7959 Lol...!
@@olderbutyoung7959 Found On River Dead.
Whats the deal, no LIFE VEST ??
Kings is best place for flatties hands down. Nice rig. Haven’t seen this one out there before.
ANONYMOUS FARM ,I literally grew up at a Royal Oak!We love it there.Just been doing some testing since built.I peek out every now and then.Thanks bud!
Back in the mid 80s my dad had the only blown flat on the river
69' lave craft with a blown small block not supper fast but loads of fun!
Where is Kings River?
@@bobbysanders7725 fresno county
I think boats like this are a waste of time and money. And very annoying for people trying to fish and enjoy a river like it’s supposed to be
??
So it’s fake. Lame
That's what l think
Wish my hydro would crank over like that, it sounds like an outboard engine. Either it has no compression or it's not a healthy motor.
What's "fake"?
@@rodmaberry7577 Doesn't sound like any outboard I've ever heard😂🤣😅
