"I can't wait to take it through the drive thru" is the most Florida thing you could have said.
An important question when he does go through the drive thru: How are the employees going to hear him ordering food over all the noise the hovercraft makes?
@@royn.1968 by turning the engine off!
Baja blast
NEEDS THE BIKE ENGINE OFF OF THE GOLF CART
How would one make that thing street legal to take it through the drive-through as what I’m wondering?!?!
Cleetus's search history-
•how to make a hovercraft go faster
•Why is my hovercraft slow
•is mountain dew really the dew off a mountain
•LS swap hovercraft
•Faketaxi hovercraft
•Fastest 1/4 mile time hovercraft
•cute puppies
First stick shift hovercraft!
Faketaxi 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
how to run a 6 second pass in a hovercraft
you missed one
what is a waifu and why do i need one on my drift car?
Just seen boosted Boyz made a jet powered scooter, cleetus should have a drag race in the hovercraft.
When he said if your a fabricator 😂 guess he’s not familiar with McFarland fab 🤣
Well..... James is there...
2020 hovercraft: getting fixed
2030 hovercraft: competing at race week
More like 2020, 2021.
The jet engine is coming back boiiiii's
@@b18crx4 jezus christ😂
If it qualifies as an aircraft does it still need to pass car inspection or aircraft inspection? Hmm
@@b18crx4 it can be done but that fan is needed to force air into the skirt.
1 week later: We sent the hover craft motor to Texas Speed for a refresh.
Facts 😂
Dead ass lol 😆 or we are putting twin turbos on the hovercraft
Yep, after James hits it with the nitrous a few times
Comes back with a 427
Worse. He's gonna build a race pond at the freedom factory, get 20 of these, and hold a PPV race event.
Seller: "make sure you read all the pre-flight blah blah"
Cleetus: *daydreaming of chasing Cooper with the hovercraft*
His eyes were totally glazed over...he was somewhere else in thought
Hahhaa Thats all I was thinkin too!
Goes Consistently 160+ mph at the track: " - - - " Goes 10 mph on hovercraft "HELL YEAH BROTHER" ;D
Nobody:
Giraffe riding a hovercraft: WHAT A UNIT
Local news: “Giraffe seen in hovercraft, updates at 6”.
I damn near choked on an ice cube when I read this LMAO!
Good one lmao
👏👏🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
haha i'm done
Not you’re fault your 5ft6😂
As the great Jeremy Clarkson once said of hovercrafts: "If you can see an obstacle, you're going to hit it."
Peter Merkle epic quote
Heard the voice, too. Amazing. 😂
I'll have to go watch the HoverVan episode again after this
I just heard that in his voice complete with his accent and all lol
I still can't believe he drove his craft where he did with minimal driving experience
We're gonna need bumpers on that, stat. Then it can go around the circle track at the factory.
Also, Rotax has a turbo model of that motor... just sayin.
Turbskie?
it needs one or he was dogging it not sure
Is that a 4 stroke??. Okay it's a 2 Smoker....Get Some Good Exhaust, And Open It Up
"I can see why people want to put SXS motors on these"
Coming soon from McFarland Performance...
Well he did break his sxs🤔 idk if he had it fixed though
@@michaelsclark yes he did
"If you're a fabricator." he's talking to the CEO of McFarland fab.
But only the CEO, the real fabricator is MIA for this video lol.
Yeah but I hear they have a 6 month lead time on all new orders 😂
Cleeter: we can't keep buying transmissions for Leroy, they're getting expensive
Also Cleeter: Check out this death trap we just bought.
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
@@Fizzer99 nah brother! That's the definition of Merica!
@@Fizzer99 No, no, no! Doing the same thing over and over in different ways!
My first thought exactly - a hovercraft is a money pit. That's why he rebuilt it and sold it - let it be someone else's problem.
Also cleeter didn't bother to do the checklist before "ripping it" unless it was off cam. Not shaming just saying - it'd suck to trash it on the 2nd voyage due to lack of patience.
@@BEYTEK Single-handedly keeping the virus alive across the country.
“Couple burns never hurt” 🤣 as an 80’s kid who rode a ton of 70’s dirt bikes this is so on point
Yep.. both legs Are
Just when I can't get any more mired in jealousy at Cleet having all the fun and toys I'd like to have, he goes and buys a hovercraft. Well played, Cleeter. Well played.
*moves hovercraft 1 foot* cleetus: ILL TAKE IT!!!
*moves hovercraft 1 foot off trailer*
cooper: Take it off a jump!!!
I actually LoL when he said that,and wanted to see it too.
Nobody:
2020: we put a giraffe in a hovercraft.
Jake Norris top fucking comment right there!!! Lmfao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL
Best comment ever 😂
Oooomg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
First the underwater car then this, McFarland Navy is coming along nicely.
love cletus's enthusiasm, he has the most fun and best friends around him.
I don’t think the guy selling it understood who he was talking to😂 “make sure u read the manual there’s all kinds of preflight precautions”
Cooper - where's that book?
Garret - do you think Dale ever read a book on how to drive his racecar!?
has tape telling him to turn on intercooler, still doesnt do it lol
FULL SEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He knew who he was talking too. That's why he made the point of "read the instructions" 😂
He knew. He was absolving himself of legal liability. 😆
" read the manuals, lots of instructions, ear protection, etc."
Sir, you have no idea what that crafts in for...🤣
At least he will have another restoration project 😂
This brings back some memories. We built and raced a hovercraft in high school. So much fun!
"Be careful with it"
20 minutes later
"I'm gonna come through here HOT"
Coming next: we fit a Texas Speed 427 to Herbert.
Lol i was gonna say the same thing
HELL YEA BROTHER!!
Either that or Henry for sure.
7s baby LFG
Yes, please!
Seller: You gotta read the manual as there's a lot to learn, you have to do pre flight checks to make sure it's all okay. Ol' Cleet: Rips it fresh off the trailer. 🦅
I mean, at least there's video evidence of the guy saying I told you so.... Lol
I figure they mean before you take it out on water...
@@ND-yp3sk I figure they mean after you break something (yourself or the hovercraft) then you read the manual to learn how to improve.
I could tell during the conversation he didn't hear a word of it. He was already distracted by bald eagle screeches.
Cooper read it in the car ride back
Seller: read the intrusions. It’s important. There’s a lot of safety precautions in there.
Cleetus: - backs it off the trailer - I’m gonna be coming in out right here!
🤣
Garrett looking under the skirt “damn... that’s beautiful” ;)
Hovercraft salesman: “READ THE INSTRUCTIONS”! Cleetus: “yeah for sure🤣”
Self-pans the camera to show that he is in fact NOT going to read the manual.
I laughed when I saw the following warning in the Scat manual: "Anyone who does not, for any reason, have a valid license allowing the to operate a motor vehicle should not fly this craft."
Yep, all the skills for my flying car transfer directly to this vehicle... like when I need to parallel park it ...d😊
"You should do the safety checks."
"yeah we'll definitely do that"
"let's take it for a rip"
LMAO!! I thought the same thing
Hahahhahaa
Those things were about every boys dream when I was young. They look so cool! Finding one restored this good is just awesome!
I got a good laugh when the seller said " you should read the instruction manual " lol...
Should definitely call it "Sea-roy" or something like that
Hover-roy... not to be mistaken for corduroy!
Searoy ha. Perfect
Mint👌
That stupid 😂
Float Boat
In the words of Jeremy Clarkson when he was about to drive a hovercraft "Now, listen chaps, I have had the pleasure of driving one of these before and there are one or two things I need to tell you. First of all, okay, if you see an obstacle, like if we're going over there, if you see one of those trees coming towards you-too late, you're gonna hit it."
I know, Sooooo Clarkson, love this. Lol. 🤣🤣🤣
He died that day. Rip J.Clarkson 1935-2005
I literally thought of this as soon as i saw the title 🤣
@@stijnpaspont after falling off a hovercraft
Jeremy Clarkson: I've been killed, I've definitely been killed.
This was my immediate thought as well.
Next episode the vargas brothers build an rotary for my hovercraft 😂🤣
Lol shit it probably would be way cooler with a couple of jet engines on the back 😂
Hands down coolest thing you've bought so far Cleeter!
Putting a Giraffe in a hovercraft is what we didn't know we needed.
Thats the name he needed. The giraffe craft.
@@madgreek253 I second that name
Thanks for spoiling it......
Video title should be, “Florida Man Makes Most Florida Purchase Ever”.
That would be an airboat with a big block, not a hovercraft with that....thing. 😁
@@bepbep7418 nah, that's too obvious. 😁
I thought the race track was the most Florida purchase 😂
...yup! Lol
Westsidesnooker 2020 most miami thing
Endless entertainment. A true gift to humanity here folks.
I used to work on SCAT brand hovercraft in the 80"s. What a beast.
Pull that rotax apart and port N polish the intake. Match up port the exhaust side too. Plan on upping jetting (wakes up the old girl, throttle is crisper too). Bosen made performance reed blocks for it too (if you can find one).
Till you had catastrophic front bag failure (4 or 5 bags +) blow at one time.
Enjoy the pain.
"I recommend reading through the owners manual, there's a lot of important information"
*Literally an hour later*
Cleetus: RIPPING at full throttle in his yard fresh off the trailer.
Im gonna adjust the blades for a little more freedom! - Cleeter :D
That guy is a puss he is scared of it you can tell that's why he sold it
@@ej2civicb736 he could be, these do take some knowledge and skill to fly
@@NomadicSociety I could just tell by the way he was talking and acting about the craft that he is scared of it
A guy on your Facebook post called it "The Freedom Floater". Would work perfectly with the FF logo.
This deserves my upvote. Cleeter see this!
Turds float we want a freedom flyer
@. Scout You've been posting the same comment for 4+ fucking years... You need some new material.
I second that name
Cleetus: it could use some nitrous bottles on the back....
James pops in: I heard someone say nitrous?
dude this is epic. look how clean that baby is. not only is awesome but what a collectible as well.
"Read the instructions" "perform pre-flight checklist" does this guy have any idea who he's talking to? 😄
Is that a retorical question?
It's not a retorical question.... it's a fact. Saying Cleetus and checklist in the same sentence is an oxymoron 😀
When you have giant a fan rotating just behind your back it's probably not a bad idea to check, if there are no any lose screws in there
Cleetus in 2039: WE BOUGHT AN OLD SPACEX ROCKET AND IT RIPS!
you mean 2021 launched from the centre of the freedom factory at Cleetus and cars
😳one of the greatest things I've ever...heard😜👍
Loool
"I've always wanted a hovercraft, there's no way around that." - ain't that the truth.
The guys like ‘they’ve got tonnes of precautions to read about’, talks about safety gear, giving it a tune up, doing research, etc etc
Clust just takes it off the trailer and sends it, no protection, no pre flight 😂 fucking legend
I love how far this channel has come since the C7 turbo whistles.
Those were the good ole days... but glad we’re here now 😂
Been here since he "stole" the c7 and had a mower in it
That was my first video him putting them in
Duck call in the procharged leased Ram is what hooked me on this channel permanently lmfao
No performance at all...
Boostedboiz: "we built a jet scooter"
Cleetus: "hold my beer"
...you mean..."bartle skeet" lol
That is actually a fantasticly bad idea
Hahaha.... exactly what I was thinking!
I can already see them slapping a turbo on it. And I love that thought 🇺🇸
I find it hilarious how he keeps mentioning safety precautions and manuals and cleet just sits there like “yep”
Fans - “We want to see you attempt to cross the pond crossing again.”
Cleetus - “Say no more.”
Fans? Yeah it's got those!
Let's have it
Ez
I'm your 200th like
Cleeter bought this from mr. Safety, he's going to crap his pants when he sees this video 😂
You finally have something that will cross the pond 👍🇺🇸
I bet James knows everything about them just like anything els with a motor 😂
Cleetus’ video titles
“I bought a hover craft!!”
Next video
“We find a way to strap the hover craft to the dyno” (NITROUS WILL BE INVOLVED)
Next video
“I wrecked my hover craft”
The next video is actually gonna be “we putting a Texas speed 427 in the hovercraft”
after the nitrous... “I TURBOED THE HOVERCRAFT” 🤣
Yeah, that sounds about normal for Cleetus...
4th video. We put a hovercraft on a Crown Vic!
LMAO
"If you're a fabricator or something" Pffft! You're talking to the owner and operator of McFarland Fabrication!
Cleetus: We wont build a jet- powered ElCamino because safety and stuff
Also Cleetus: Buys THAT THING :)
I have to say, not much on this awesome channel surprises me... But this, this caught me off guard! Lol. I’m impatiently waiting on that drive thru video now 😂
First thing Cleet has purchased that he hasn’t done a burnout before buying!
Or is it always burning out
Your right 🤣
Lol Ruby was bought sight unseen
What about the x3 and ruby?
Next time on Cleetus McFarland: "We Bought a Running and Flying SR-71 BLACKBIRD!!!! ( mach 3 here we come)
Finally doing some sub 8 passes 🤣🤣
Lol
Corey Spaulding well I mean I’m pretty sure the last few months have been dedicated to turning their fastest cars into bracket cars.. give them until after hotrod drag week when they will be allowed to go under an 8
But they put Leroy’s old engine in it
Cleetus in goggles, mullet dancing in the wind, riding a damn hovercraft should be the official state symbol of Florida! Put it on the flag!
Damn excited to see more of this!
yeah if your mullet gets to long let me tell u it aint pretty!
YEAH! IT ALL LOOKS LIKE IT'S IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE.
"Oh, that thing will go fast across the concrete..."
Next video: Hovercraft burnout pad drifting
Video in 3 months: Welcome to the Hovercraft 500
Now's there's a good PPV tv the hover500🤣😂🤣😂
Guy is too scared to even drive it: Cleetus: drifts into garage
Every Florida man's dreams is a damn hover craft awesome
Can't wait for James to see it
The freedom floater. Awesome addition to the clan
When my wife hears Hell yeah brother! you're on the Cleetus Mcfarland TH-cam channel! Coming from the bathroom, she knows it's gonna be a while.
Same 😂😂😂😂
Bruh same
That was an epic shit!
Can’t stop laughing 😂 so true!!!!
Lol
I can see this now...
The boys at TSP: " You need a 427 for a WHAT?!?! We'll have it there next week"
Omg so lucky. This is one of my dream vehicles
That things so cool. Cannot wait to see it over water
Well its clearly the Freedom Flyer!
na Just call it Manual, because thats the only one that is going to be read :-P
@enigma9789 -- yep- best name I've seen yet. "Freedom Flyer".
Not until Cleetus goes ripping by at 60 sideways can it be called freedom anything right now it’s a dog a overweight smoker can run faster then that thing will go .
For sure best name 👍
@@neilreid9005 Freedom Floater perhaps? 😂
Boosted boiz : We have a jet powered scooter!
Cleeter: That's cute! Hold my bartle skeet!
Edit: you need to bring the seller to the FF for a proper rip!! He did all that work and never got it wide open.
this. lol.
🤣
Yeah that would be really cool
Especially after a good rain and the skid pad is flooded.
Put jet engine on hover craft🤔
Cleatus once again living out our childhood dreams
I love the level of excitement!
Boostedbois: has a jet scooter.
Cleet: Hold my beer.
Needs two jets on the hovercraft, needs two another throttle on the left side for the jets
No one:
Cleetus: hey guys, guess what we have for the hovercraft on the way from Texas speed.
Imagine a v8 hovercraft
It needs a rotary
Cleetus is the embodiment of the American dream
I was a Hovercraft pilot and instructor in the Rescue / Fire service. Once you learn to fly it you will find you have a whole lot more machine than you think. That Scat should once tuned right and the blades are tuned correct should do 35 to 40 on flat land and in the 50's on water and even better 60's plus on ice (which of course you will never see down there). Also watch out about to much running over concrete and as-fault because it will eat the skirts up, and even though the hard bottom should have skids on it landing while moving on concrete will damage it. Steering is a combination of steering, weight shift and throttle. You will find out that once you learn it you have to fly it way ahead of where your at and most of the time letting off the throttle is the wrong thing. If you are going fast the way to stop is to hard over on the steering, weight shift and full throttle and she will spin around and then stay on the throttle and the thrust will stop you in place. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
yes you r 100! this one is not set up right -YET but these guys will get it! but will they destroy it, ? they cant land this at 50mph going sideways and i feel someone will and it will be ashame cause you will mess it up 4 good and its really nice now with no stress cracks in the body he cant let nitwits fly this ! you are flying remember! even if really low to the ground! 0 brakes and nitwits dont mix lol! :)
“The HoverDale”. One rule of hovercrafts is if you can see it...... you WILL hit it. 💯💯💯😁😁😁
"David Hoverdale" Call it Dave. 🤘
Garrett pls put a 3 on that sucker it’s already black. 💯
BoostedBoiz: Jet powered scooter
Cleetus Mcfarland: Hovercraft
This is truly the future
Jet powered hovercraft
Boosted Boiz will come back with something WAY more sketchy
@@jacobwalls452 twin turbski razzle dazzle
K24 swap it
That is amazing, can’t wait to see it on the water
My dad had two of these. Were extremely fun and fast on snow/ice.
Don't overlook the fact that the engine on there has TONS of performance parts available from the Kart world
A rotax 277?
More power please
@@Patrick-zr8tv I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the knee
Seems like a job for old Father Timing, he's super into Kart racing, he probably knows EXACTLY what that thing needs to be a FULL RIPPER
@@blackmedieval2461 nice
Butter needs to be the name, cause she's a smooth unit.
^^^
Yeah.,... this.
Growler.
Great mate!! Looking forward to the tweaks.
Clergy’s comes walking out like sponge bob with the goggles on IM READY!!!!!
16:09 I'm surprised James didn't pop out from around the corner carrying a nitrous bottle and say "Someone say nitrous?"
It would be very funny.
"Pre flight check..."
Cleeter: ? "No I'm paying cash"
"...if you're a fabricator or something..." - definitely have both of those covered.
Oh, Cleetus is certainly "or something"!
Just a quick thought. If you see yourself backing it up regularly, make something to fit behind the vanes on the back to deflect the air down, to the sides or round the front, kinda like jets do with the reverse thrust for breaking.
“I can’t wait to take it through a drive through” LMFAO
For some reason, I think the hovercraft should be named "Marty" after Marty McFly.
YES
Underrated comment.
At first I was like hmmm that’s a pretty damn good name. Then I realized it was the lawn care nut who said it. You sir are an American hero. It definitely needs to be named Marty now.
I can get behind this.
Marty fits perfectly
You old boys just get sillier and sillier! 😂😂😎😎
That’s a racing style hovercraft. Nice
Here he is buying and taking a hover craft across the pond, but still hasn’t gotten the tracker through it yet! #neverforgetthetracker
The tracker was much more interesting
My dad was the chief engineer at SCAT! We have a couple race craft, sent you a DM on insta
Replying to this comment so the algorithm thinks the post is interesting and should be promoted.
We will fool you TH-cam!!!
Bumping this comment.
Well, this could be an epic collaboration!
The builder- seller was very knowledgeable and passionate about it! She's one spicy unit!
That's a fancy lawnmower.
