A brushless motor is essentially an alternator so when you back drive it you are creating energy and depending on the electronics it's connected to you could damage something. That being said most modern ESC electronics are designed to handle being back driven like that because the manufacturers know that sort of thing can happen.
Yeah we get a ton of floaters out there! I've hit tree trunks that are 2 ft in diameter floating just beneath the surface. Scary stuff. Sorry to hear you totaled a boat from hitting something. What a bummer.
@@NNKH2 I am down on the Tinicum island end near the airport tons of logs floating. Took 15 years of boating before I hit one bad. Took the outdrive right off the boat. Scary stuff for sure. Luckily I had full insurance on the boat.
@@TheStephenspann27 I was taking on water but fortunately I was meeting a friend at the island and he was able to tow me in and get the boat into the trailer. The outdrive was only attached by the hydraulic hoses.
I love your boat/PWC content. That's actually what got me to this channel, your Sea Ray 215 videos. (I own one) I'm glad I wound up finding your channel because it's honestly one of my favorites on YT. I'm a pretty fair amateur mechanic, and I've learned all sorts of useful tips from your videos. I really enjoy the "Will it run" series too. You, Jen, and Gus have a great thing going with all your channels. Don't ever change, your long format stuff is great 👍🏼
Chris , Are you kidding me ? That’s a fine boat! That’s the cream of the crop in Jon boats ! All aluminum! It’s top of the line! Will hold its value ! You can get top dollar in certain markets! First one I’ve actually seen inboard. You done good my friend! 🎣
Lot of bells and whistles to keep functional on the optimax. When they are running correctly they are great but they can be aggravating bastards when they want to act up. Keep the impeller in good shape and get it reworked if it gets banged up. Jet pumps lose efficiency and cavitate quick when worn.
Dear Chris NNKH 👍👌👏 Congratulations 🎉 for buying, enjoying and selling this very well built quality jet boat. I love inboard engines too and I also like jet drives much better than having a propeller. 2) It seems that with every video I love little blue eyed Gus 💚 more. He's sooo incredibly stinkin' cute. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all 5 ! of you.
when you're flying the drone over water is there a "life jacket" type device that can keep the drone floating for recovery if it decides to go swimming?
Really enjoy your videos and your hands on approach to fixing things combined with your adventures! :) Would it be possible to see a video of your experiences and advice using your DJI drone? The videos from the drone really put your adventures into context. Thanx and, looking forward to your new adventures! *(The good, and the bad! ) ;)
Hey man, I appreciate you watching and awesome to hear that you enjoy the videos. I don't have any plans to make drone videos. I figure there are already so many dedicated channels with great content on them!
@@NNKH2 Thanks Chris, no worries ;) I really enjoy your down to earth approach to fixing stuff and life in general! I'm new to drones, and love the new views they record, something I'm going to jump into in The Scottish Highlands. Looking forward to your next videos, Thanks again, cheers, Mike ;)
Hi look up on Google andput in Delaware river and putting shark in and when you're on Delaware river you can be swimming with sharks have a look just thinking of you and Jennifer and a little baby👍👍💯💯💯💯🐾🐾and littel dog ok pal love your channel
@@NNKH2 sorry pal it sed on google there were sharks but you no wer you live pal I live in England where there’s no shocks are very much of any just looking after your boat you’ve got a baby soon 👍👍 anyhow have a good day, pal
Good video ! Yea, that kind of Boat would not Work around here. Looks Like Fun Blasting around for an Hour or two but that's about it. The Pacific ocean would Fill that thing up in a Few Minutes around here. No Shelter on that Boat to Get out of the Weather / 30 Mph Wind. No Toilet. Not Real Practical. You Need 3' of Free board around here just to survive & a Toilet. 3-6 foot waves all the time around here. a 26' Cuddy cabin, Express cruiser or sailboat is best around here. Catalina island is 30-40 Miles off shore around here & that's the Destination spot around here. That's almost like a Big Jet ski ! One step above a 2 seater Sea doo. 30' Express cruiser or 36' sailboat is Best around here for Safety. You Can Pick up a 1986 36' Catalina sailboat around here for Very cheap sometimes. sometimes for $1.00 The slip is the expensive part around here. $500-1000 a month.
That's a Cadillac of creek runners. A few things I've learned the hard way. A come along isn't bad to have when you miss a tight turn. Save a little throttle for when a corner gets tighter than expected. That little extra helps eliminate the first problem.
That is the nicest piece of equipment you have ever purchased ! Sea Ark is the best built hull in mass production. There are a few in the Pacific Northwest that maybe a little more heavy duty but they are even more stupid in price. (Wooldridge)
IF YOU PUT the LIGHTBAR and WINDSCREEN (not gunna call it a windshield lol hahahahaha kinda like a jacket in the atric ;) LOL well not quite so that... but still... if you can drop those on a henge forward, you would almost HALF the total height of that thing?? for goin UNDER STUFFS... ???
fromn not a hunter but I watch a few shows with them lol umm that seems to be a pretty cool pattern, a couple BUNDLES gatheed rfrom the local pond/lake/river wtuever to tie on the side, and blammo DUCKBOAT :) well yea seems pretty cool.... can it be a push TUG for a 40 foot barge?? 12x40... ?
Jet boats are a blast! You steer with your throttle more than the steering wheel itself. Plus cornering the jet almost helps stick you down to the water when cornering
Hello Chris, Jen, Gusman and Turbo from Sydney Australia. I liked that Camo inboard boat. We would call it a Bass boat. Bass being a freshwater fish that lives around river trees and snags such as logs. I'm a salt water fisherman. That freshwater fly and lure is a hard game. Peace love and respect John🌏🇦🇺
That is an awesome river boat and in great shape. I live on the river and would love a Sea Ark. I'm rocking with a 15 foot john boat and 15 hp Yammy. I have a friend with a 2010 PT Cruiser convertible sitting for 10 years. Let me know if you'd like to make it a "will it run" and I'll get you in touch. Thanks for great content.
Hey Chris, how long ago did you do this video? It was in the '90s all last week and it's upper 80s this week and I'm in Northwest Ohio so you're getting the same weather as me. And Jen don't look very pregnant lol You also said the water was like 55°. Just curious. Keep up all this awesome content. I follow both your channels plus Jen's. I'm not much of a boat person but I love the views you give. I'm disabled so I don't get to travel anymore. Not like I did much traveling when I could. Anyhow I just wanted to ask that question.
A dept. I used to work at had one of these. Awesome River boat able to run up rapids and small waterfalls. Will turn around in the length of the boat. Well built, but really a specialty boat for river and rocky waters.
First time viewer. You got a new subscriber 👍. I’ve been looking for a boat for a few months with a budget of 10 to 20 grand depending on what I found. This might be it. Hopefully I can find a clean used one like you did.
need a mini jet boat so u can hit all the little hidden waterways nobody else can get to. watch some Cleetus Mcfarland videos on how tough they are, he jumps trees and rocks with them lol
Was this filmed before or after your road trip Chris? anyway nice review and good to see you are out and about enjoying your new boat. Look forward to you accessorising this boat, and insulation the engine cover box and installing cup holders :)
they are so expensive because the board of directors need their cuts. Used to work on boat sites, they wanted the most sales, with highest prices. Year over year prices would go up higher than inflation, this was all before 2020 happened and prices were dumb high. You could buy a new truck for less than a boat, now I imagine the boat is cheaper than the truck.
This is a cool boat, but I find cheap boats to be way more fun. Nothing like a day on the lake or river with friends in a boat you're not worried about getting scratched or dinged. Cheap boats for the win!
"Almost looks like you're pregnant" LOL, I know this clip is old but it's funny to know you guys had no idea yet of what cool surprise was coming up!
@BXtremP. This was only 2 months ago, they knew she was pregnant. They just hadn't announced it yet.
@dannyjamison8337 I'm sure it was an inside joke at the time.
Hey Chris, hope the house hunts going well if your still looking , hope jen and the baby are keeping well :) much love your fan from Ireland ❤🎉

As a guy who has totaled a boat on the Delaware striking a submerged floating tree. I can appreciate the idea of the jet drive.

Thanks Keith
he has a 3rd also NNKH misc.

Flipping boats and having fun! Good for you and the family! Love the outro music…perfect!
A short but sweet video Chris! Any chance you'll make up NNKH stickers and put 'em up on your merch site soon???
Yeah I should probably get them on there huh.
@@NNKH2 Yup!!!👍👍
Chris your channels are the best on TH-cam. WHEN you blow up, don’t change the videos, keep ‘em real just like they are now !!

You, Jen, and Gus have a great thing going with all your channels. Don't ever change, your long format stuff is great 👍🏼
this boat isn't a junker, WTF !?!
You are a junker, go watch something else moron
He was talking about the boat to the right of it. In his yard. Not this SeaArk boat
It doesn't even have a tree growing in it !
It’s like The Jefferson’s “ movin’ on up”
Dang I had to make sure it was the right channel with the like new boat,, 👍love the boat love to have it for running crawfish traps
Another awesome video! Everything you post is always so well done... please don't change! Keep up the great work!!
More magnet fishing please! Great idea near the old power plant. Surprised you didn't find anything.
GUD DECISION ON MOVING ON FROM THAT BOAT.. ALTHOUGH VERY FUN, CAN COST MORE IN THE LONG RUN. BUT GOOD MEMORIES WERE MADE. 😎
I love the little island grill sessions you and Jen and Gus do. I do this same thing in the sound on the North Carolina coast.
Chris , Are you kidding me ? That’s a fine boat! That’s the cream of the crop in Jon boats ! All aluminum! It’s top of the line! Will hold its value ! You can get top dollar in certain markets! First one I’ve actually seen inboard. You done good my friend! 🎣
that thing'd be sweet in the upper Potomac / =
You guys really know how to live your lives. I love the Gus man. Thanks for sharing.
That'll be the best boat you ever owned, they are awesome, hard to find and super sought after
Can’t wait to see your new house and shop!!
Would have been nice to know the price you bought and sold it for.
The shot of Gus in Jen’s sweatshirt cracked me up😂 Another fun video my man.👍
Your drone skills are impeccable.
That's a sweet boat! Jet jons are badass
Love that it just has a 200HP Optimax outboard V6. Pretty cool.
That is a killer fishing boat.
“I’m not a hunter or a fisherman.”
Buys a boat made for hunters and fishermen.
Flips it and makes a profit.
That’s NNKH.
Awesome boat!!!
Whatever you are for your island lunch, you won't have the worry of bears coming to join you!! 😂

Great drone shots of you both on the water - so enjoyed this episode.
Seeing how you compared it to the Airboat so many times, you should of sold the Airboat and kept this one!
You’ve stepped up you video skills. This reminded me of a Camaretta production. It should be on your main channel.
Nice job!
Probably too much silt for
The magnet fishing
when you're flying the drone over water is there a "life jacket" type device that can keep the drone floating for recovery if it decides to go swimming?
Yeah they probably do sell something for that. I haven't looked into it yet though
@@NNKH2 maybe Jen could invent that, with your help?
Always a fun ride! Keep up the content. Can't wait to the next one.
With a kid coming, no propeller for safety.
would love to have a boat like that. the salvania and duck weed would choke it up though. that sumbitch is very well built
I live in Alaska, and we eat everything from the water. LOL
I live pretty much on the banks of the Susquehanna I've wanted one of these boats forever. Awesome video.
Would definitely be great for the susquehanna!
I love the Susquehanna. Had a camper next to Peach Bottom for years back in the 80’s (Orchard Campground). PECO has nice boat ramps there.
thats why i like my pontoon it runs 32 on the water and it goes back in the shallows nice boat you got glad you made some money on it
Sell your other shit boats and keep this one ,., this one suits your boating area
Unless you got you plus 9 girls in good shape on there then 10 people are gonna be more than 1310 pounds lol
i need that intake cleanout setup on my seadoo switch haha.
Nice piano touch in the end, Jen, love it 😊
Dang.... my 19' Chapparal does 5 gallons per hour at 30mph. I did'nt realize jet drives use that much fuel.
My god Chris, where do you find these things???
That's awesome 👍🏼
Not really into boats, but yep that seems like a good one 😅
I see lots of storage for beer 👍
You couldn’t even FIT 10 ppl on that! And some boats say 3 persons and you can easily fit 6-8
All about how much wait it can hold and still float / operate safely
That is a fishing and duck hunting machine.
Should keep the camo boat and sell the other ones!? Gus still needs his own channel!
I've always wanted a jet boat, unfortunately those are uncommon over here...

Thanks man

That's a cool boat
Hitting outathepark with the drone. Pittsburgh was great as is this one. Thanks for showcasing Philly area water fun.
Nice boat = and camo hides everything= should keep this one
IF YOU PUT the LIGHTBAR and WINDSCREEN (not gunna call it a windshield lol hahahahaha kinda like a jacket in the atric ;) LOL well not quite so that... but still...
if you can drop those on a henge forward, you would almost HALF the total height of that thing?? for goin UNDER STUFFS... ???
More money for the Mustang or Rustang ... Looked like a Fun Boat though and I'm not a boat guy
that was cool boat but take the ca$h..always neat pickups,love the magnet fishing..a scrapper at heart ty for sharing

Jet boats are a blast! You steer with your throttle more than the steering wheel itself. Plus cornering the jet almost helps stick you down to the water when cornering
For future reference the width of a boat is called the "Beam". You probably new that but it doesn't always come to mind...

u dont have mosquitos ? after high levels of water we have a ton of them oO (Baja@Hungary)
