Cheers Josh

Haha yeah, it's not a bad brew after all. Yeah I should've done a bit more drone stuff but had to concentrate on not crashing while heading back down.

Thanks for the comment Trevor, Yeah we took the other track on the way out just to be safe, had the winch and the other Hilux as back up though.

Haha is that where I learned them 🧐

Haha yeah thats some good advice. With a closer look I recognise the waterfall.

Cheers Cam, this one is built by wattscraft down Queenstown way. Heaps of different hulls around and you just drop a JetSki setup into them. This has a Yamaha wave raider 701cc 2 stroke in it, pretty light on the power side of things but cheap to run and goes places the big boats can’t.

Yeah bro its a hard one, even when the drones on tracking it often looses the boat or gets dangerously close to trees. I’ll try better 😅 way easier on a bigger river.

@@Muzz308 Best to not take too many risks. I'd rather see you looking back than an upload titled "overnight jet boating and drone carnage"

Yeah mate, they are pretty popular, low cost compared to the big boys and still go places.

@@Muzz308 Nice, they're starting to become more popular over here in chillynipples winterstan, they're kind neat to see. I want one

Thanks, Nah no idea on how many litres it’s pumping mate.

@@Muzz308 I meant how deep is the boat in the water, what draft do you guess at when going full tilt?

Sorry mate, yeah draft at full speed would be 100-150mm . You can go real shallow for short periods and just try to slide into deeper pools. Knee deep water to get it up and going to start with.

Yeah, that sucks aye mate. Not to mention all the huts getting pulled out of Te urewera next year.

@@Muzz308 And just when I've purchased an inflatable jet boat!!!

Hey bro, no dangerous critters down here in Nz, just sandflies and mosquitoes 😅

@@Muzz308 Up here in Alberta Canada the mosquitoes are so big we trap them Conibear traps.. Mini 110 s but those f ing sandflies I have no idea how to rid yourself of those flies. They don't make traps that small. lol

Not even one bro, confirmed what I had read online.

It’s a wattscraft hull with a Yamaha wave raider 701cc setup.

Zero mate covid had our big ballot trip cancelled then Sage gave the order to lay waste so the population has been given a hiding recently. This comment is some classic fishing from you bro.

@@Muzz308 Yeah cool mate, if you and some of the others could nip out and shoot 5,000 or so really quickly we will be back down at sustainable levels. Don't let that get in the way of a good hash-tag though. Yeah had this one lined up for a while.

No one can afford to spend the $2.5k per person to travel down, fly in , 10 days supply’s Piss up in Queenstown etc only to find a pile of rotting carcasses in there favourite valley. $2.5k x 4 hunters is $10k that will not be stimulating the economy. To manage a resource like Tahr/Deer/pigs etc it comes down to land area vs stocking rates. How many animals can the area sustain without damaging the eco system, what is the annual increase of the herd, now what needs to be culled each year to maintain the balance. DOCs current management = to kill as many as you can when you can get funding

Hey it’s a Wattscraft 3.1 with a 701cc Yamaha ski setup.

Rats

Haha 😂 I don’t know what to say to that comment. Wrong country and Jeff and I are very happy 😉

@@Muzz308 Definition of mate : one of a pair: such as a: either member of a couple and especially a married couple b: either member of a breeding pair of animals c: either of two matched objects So not Australia, Nz then? Well glad you and Jeff are happy.

No
