MORE SPEED! WE ADDED 5 MPH TO OUR JET BOAT FOR JUST $600!!!

Күн бұрынIt's rare when a product works as advertised AND bolts-on like it's supposed to. This is not a sponsored video we are just passing along the good vibes about an excellent product from Place Diverter and Controls. In episode 170 of Mike Finnegan's Garage we swapped nozzles on the back of our Berkeley jet drive, which powers our 1976 Rogers Bonneville TR and GAINED three mph of top end speed. Our butt-dyno also says this mod also increased the boat's holeshot. We also adjusted the angle of the nozzle and gained another two mph of top end speed. The nozzle swap took less than twenty minutes to complete and required no drilling, no wiring, and no grinding. It was just that easy! Want more info? go here:

I knew bugger all about jet boats before I started to follow your channel, im still no expert but I just love the way you guys roll, you explain everything and you are not afraid to show some of the nuts and bolts stuff. If I'm being honest that's what interests me the most I like the engineering behind all things fast its never boring. For me the enjoyment comes from watching a build from an idea through to it hitting the road or now the water. At some point I will build myself a jet boat the only thing holding me back is the water is always bloody freezing here in Scotland, thank you all so much for sharing your projects with us and also for the music I've regularly used shazam to find music used on your shows, thank you guys again for all this.

I remember when my local lake in Kansas got that low. Floating docks not floating, boat ramps unusable... They had the spillway shut as much as possible. I remember hanging out there one night on one of the docks with some friends. 24 hours later I couldn't even get to the end of that dock. It was underwater. The whole lake level rose so much from the storms that night that even opening the spillway completely couldn't stop it. We had a massive cell stall out right on top of the lake and then slowly moved northeast (upstream obviously) followed by a few more waves of storms that did basically the same. It was mind blowing!
