The quickest accelerating boats on the planet. Top Fuel Drag Boats accelerate from 0 - 270 miles per hour (430 kilometres per hour) in just 3.5 seconds. They use a supercharged V8 engine running on nitro-methane fuel and produce 10,000 horsepower. The amazing photo of the red boat, Toxic Rocket, in the thumbnail was taken by Mark Sharley Photography. Big Thanks Mark: / mark.sharley.5
Want to see the same engine in a car? Here it is: kzhead.info/sun/jMZ7grypiIeMgpE/bejne.html
Xtreme 3 minute Videos thank you for reading my mind
wow wow
i m french , dont know a thing about how to pilot a drag boat ... but i'd definitely try one of those even if it try to kill me :)
Ain't nuttin' like the sound of a blown big-block nitromethane burnin' V8 engine at full song!! Love the video!! If this was 12 minutes long....EVEN BETTER!!
why do you speed up the speed of such videos? you can see clearly how the cars in background driving insane qzuickly, this video is at least 10% faster then real, maybe 15%!
"TURN UP THE VOLUME" turns the volume down. Best choice of the day.
y0un45 I did the same and was so proud of myself 2 seconds later.
Yea fuck this guy 🤣
Lmao!
Thank God I did the same.
And I do opposite....R.i.p my ears and good morning everyone! 😳🤬😑
10000 seahorses, amiright?
HAHAHAAHAHHHA
up for this HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
YES
💀💀💀💀💀💀😂😂😂😂😂
XD
Son. Don't be afraid. Just remember to keep your skis pointed up when the boat starts to move.
Haha that's funny ..."and keep my arms straight, right Dad." That won't be a problem son

full engine rebuild after each run? wow thats some expensive single run
Alot of HP being turned out in a single run. The rebuild is second nature..
@@rodgerwoods4971 I know. This is absolutely a dedication of the whole team to racing and their skills to create such masterpieces. that can take such speeds in matter of seconds.
if the engine blows up that front of boat dips and it game over boats going under and ripped apart at those speeds
Yeah it's like top fuel dragsters. The engine crew could probably rebuild any and everything, I envy them!
@HelloThere Some people are slower than others. 😁
Sounds like an a10 warthog from that other video we all got recommended

Hmmm, I got recommend an F-16😂
G Money close enough
Yes it sounds like the gun firing on that A10, only longer
Yes yes very good
If you thought climbing back up the hill after every sledding run was tedious, imagine rebuilding an engine every single time you used it.
Haha, that sure puts it in perspective
Welcome to nitro methane BITCH
they did it so many times, it's probably like changing socks for them, it's what they do
Engine is designed for fast rebuilds.

Yes this is. A real Aussie thing to me is a skid car with a blown alky motor ripping the tires off in a minute.
On land or water, the sensory assault of a 10,000 hp nitro engine is just exhilarating.
I can try to imagine it... but I just truly cannot imagine it.
The LOUD can be very destructive/painful.
@@MrKnoxguy101 If you have never been to a top fuel drag racing event of any kind, you should try. The chest compressions you will feel because of what one of those engines is doing to the atmosphere is one of the oddest sensations you will ever feel. You cannot breathe sort of.
@@russellnotestine6436 ear protection is needed when you go to any event with the word nitro in it.
Fact.
Am I the only one that thinks the boat racing is an extremely dangerous sport? Takes guts.
I’ve been around cars and boats with a quarter of this horsepower, and it is kinda of scary. The way it rattles your chest being 20ft away in the pits is something I will never forget.
Years ago when I worked at Harley Davidson they had their 2000hp nitro bike come by for a demo day. Loudest continuous sound I’ve ever heard close up in person.
I love how the fans jump in the pits when they blip the Top Fuel dragsters throttle to seat the clutches during the warmup after the rebuild. It's funny as hell. 😂
789 people actually turned up the volume.
I'm just glad I'm watching at 12:30pm. And not 12:30am. Lol
I actually död, just to be able to compare it to other engines i like the sound of, nice brutal sound that give away the size of the engine, the deep underlaying tune a sound that gives the background to the second more screaming tune.
Six pest I Hooked up my Bluetooth Speaker Gotta Hear them Screaming Beast's 😂
🤣🤣🤣
My EARS I HAD HEADPHONES ON AND TURNED IT TO MAX OH GOD
Throttle Options: FULL POWER OR PARK
Northern Woodsman full power or sink
@FarmerMiyagi where's the fun in that?
lol
Another option, yet destructive, is: Maximum Overdrive!
No idea why this is so funny xD but i dying here
Imagine you have zero concept of what a boat is and these are the first ones you ever see.
All courtesy of Charles Parsons that invented the steam turbine and dropped them into a boat that ripped the propellers to shreds. So he built a small water tank and a high-speed camera which showed a phenomenon called "cavitation". Tiny vacuum bubbles that degraded the metals and he redesigned the props to withstand this to make the worlds fastest ship - by four times over and changed marine history forever. Without props that can withstand the solid uncompressability of water and the cavitation that takes place these props would explode instantly with far less than 10K of horsepower. And he did it in 1894 with the ship "Turbinia". *That's being way ahead of your time.*
I'm more impressed there was a Hi-Speed Camera in 1894.
good gravy. Sounds like the cannon of an A-10
Yeah you're right it does
Vulcan 20mm rotary? You know that's pretty standard in the air force, it's not just the a10
@@leosypher9993 GAU-8 Avenger is a 30mm weapon

@@leosypher9993 Don't forget most MiG's had pretty awsome cannons. Often even better than the American ones. But the airforce never bougt MiG's, strange enough. Tunnel vision, I guess. Finland did buy them.
If you went back in time 100 years and told people there would be boats that go 250mph in the desert, would they believe you ?
Forget 100 years ago. Try 25. This shit is insane
Nah, they would be tickled over it. They were like us today, we know there will be more changes instore for us. Now go back 200 years and start talking about the future and I can almost guarantee you will be burnt at the stake.
I had almost the same thought when watching this! Thinking if you could time travel and show people in the late 1800’s what was to come less than 100yrs later... man their faces would be priceless 😆
That God is going to raise up with a body that doesn't die everyone, so they may be judge, those who didn't obey him but did what they want thrown into lake of fire forever. Who has believed? Can I get an advocate? One recognized by the court?
Lets check it on you! In 100 years from now, there will be privet spaceships, which you will drive to holiday on mars in speed of 100,000 kmph. Do you belive it?

It is endlessly fascinating, the kinds of technology we'll create just for fun. "Tell us why you built this impossible 10,000-horsepower 270mph drag boat." "'Cuz there was nothin' on TV."

I love watching the crews rebuild the engines. the guys are Masters.
I love the sound when it makes the distinctive whining sound when it hits full throttle. Awesome video!

Lmao
Exactly what dad does in 80mph jet boat. Had the guy’s kids crying and everything... he finally couldn’t hold on 😦😂😜 he was ok after we got him back in the boat lol
Nice 3 seconds LET'S REBUILD THE WHOLE ENGINE
I, cf CR.....
Forgot the whole "Rebuild the whole engine in 45 minutes" part. Lol
It's a proper drug that acceleration, from 0-260 mph in 3.2 seconds must be an andrenaline rush so big, guess the rebuild is more of a safety thing, guess this is where you can't learn from your misstakes, maybe only from others misstakes. This must be an andrenaline junkies dream of the ultimate kick.
Very necessary(no sarcasm intended)
@jonny j The pistons and cams, bolts and such get so hot they warp and if they run again probably break and if you seen one of these crash, it isnt forgiving.
That Was " OFF THE CHART" Thanks For Letting Me To See It !!
I'm most Amazed by the quality of engines and the way that they rebuild them it's just like watching drag racing on concrete only on water I've never been to one of those hydro boat races but I bet you those are pretty cool to watch
If you like Motorsports, you'll love boat racing. Check them out they race on allmost every big lake coast to coast. Last one 1 saw was on St Lawrence Seaway in western up-State NY. It was awesome!!
@@intimidator.jb3470 well actually the kind of boat racing that I'm into is super power boat I live for a 13 miles from Michigan City Indiana and they have offshore powerboat racing ocean-going boats there super fast super cool and the element of danger is there only they use 4 engines instead of just one. And the next time I'm in Las Vegas we hope to catch the drag racing championship in Vegas
@@intimidator.jb3470 - The one big drawback to drag boat racing as a spectator sport is the pace. If you thought there was too much downtime between races at a land drag race don’t bother going to a boat drag race. 🥱
They're amazing. 10,000 HP on nothing but 2 sponsons and a prop and rudder. It's an incredible sight.
For those viewers thinking that these engines don’t put out 10,000 HP, you are right. For the 2018 season, top fuel engines are estimated to produce close to 11,000 HP. A few facts: No engine dyno exists that can handle all this power and give an exact HP reading; it is calculated based on a number of factors. The engines are fitted with a supercharger that typically provides 60 PSI of boost, but can provide 74 PSI Max. At max boost, it takes 1,000 HP just to turn the blower; 900 HP at normal boost. Two spark plugs per cylinder, two massive distributors per engine with an ignition system that generates 60 amps. When the engines are used in Top Fuel dragsters on land, the engines will propel the car to 100 MPH in the length of the dragster; that is 25 feet.
You're *

Bank Acc: you will never see a penny
That could pull my Tesla around the lake !!
@Nothing Matters ; I don’t. I have a Yukon
This is why KZhead is so great. I had no idea these even existed until now. And how do the boats not just flip over from the insane immediate torque? !!
Hi, yes the torque has been a problem, the used to have to try and control it with rudder. But these boats now use 2 counter rotating props after the invention of a gearbox they call a W-drive which has been a game changer and a lot less accidents.
Occasionally they do. I knew a guy years ago that had one flip on him at 100mph and had him skipping across the water. Bruised him up pretty good
Was no kneeling for the anthem with these guys AWESOME
This is my first time ever sitting and just watching this kind of genre of drag racing. What they do with these machines is impressive. When these things launch, the entire hull looks like it just wants to go airborne. Between the builders standing there in the pits and gassing these power plants under a tent to drivers making under four second passes while keeping it steady on the waters surface... yeah wow. These guys aren’t messing around.
what ? where the hell u been the last 35 years ? . better late then Never !!!! GO > FIND > buy a ticket Show up > FIND !! and most of all enjoy !!
kzhead.info/sun/n7WHoN2yemd7dps/bejne.html
These races are epic, in person.
They’re called hydroplanes, they’re pretty cool! 😎
It is also probably more dangerous than land drag racing because drowning or just dying from the impact with the water is not uncommon.
This is what I sound like after a night of beans and pizza rolls
I blew the sheets off the bed, once. It looked like throwing a sheet of paper at a box fan.
Odd combination
@Vince Abate I feel sad for you. Pizza rolls are small, like a fat raviolis that are made of pizza crust filled with pizza sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni. There are other flavors, too. Totinos is a popular brand, if you want to look them up. You buy them in the frozen section of a grocery store and cook them in the oven.
@Vince Abate That sounds delightful! I want to make fresh pizza, but I need a hotter oven to make the best pizza. Pizza rolls are mostly just a quick food for kids and college students. They aren't intended for people who want a good quality pizza. They are a finger food. They are fun to eat sometimes.

ONE GALLON PER SECOND? Reminds me of my misspent youth...
wdym?
It can't be 1 gallon per second they don't have the fuel storage for 360 gallons to be turned on for 6 minutes.
H Smith that’s why these boats are drag racing
@@FA-sr6lx actually at full throttle it is more than 1 gallon per second, they are only full throttle for 3.5 seconds. At 1:07 you can see the fuel line coming from the bottom of the tank, it is the size of a drain pipe. I'm not sure where you are getting 6 minutes from.
1 gallon full throttle
Awesome 👌
thanks Jim
Water is the best medium to get acceleration out of actually. While your tires may slip on ground, water doesn't compress. There is no slipping to be done. You *will* move per the power you put into it
great comment
You aren’t taking cavitation into account.Propellers do slip.
Yeah and it also screws them when they crash its like hitting a brickwall head on in a drag car in them boats its brutal
@@lancesurgeon7614 i mean the way these are designed is there any?
Which is why these accelerate faster than a top fuel car but slow down acceleration as they get faster due to the water creating friction and cavitation so they don't do a 1000 feet- a quarter mile as fast usually 4- 5 seconds at less than 250mph as opposed to 3- 3.5 seconds at 300+
Imagine trying to ski behind that...
A fun way to die
bye bye arms
You just invented a new sport, congratulations.!!!!
Believe it or not they used to do just that in the 1970's. It was called speed skiing and they used Drag Hydros to pull the skiers to over 150 mph. They picked up speed gradually so as to not rip out arms from sockets.
No problem for Chuck Norris :-)))
-So: How many horsepower you need? -YES.
It blows your mind watching boats go by that fast

I live about 5 miles away from where this was happening. These things are absolutely thunderous. I could feel parts of my house shaking and my dog was wondering what the hell was going on. Lol, loved it.
Is this Firebird Raceway?
@@danielkinn782 Yes but now it's called wild horse pass
@@LordHolley i need to get up there and check it out. Im in Tucson
Its a good time for sure. AMP is closer to you. If you haven't been there, it's a must. One of the best tracks southwest imo.
I use to have a 1950 Chevy truck with a 350 cubic inch souped up engine with an automatic transmission. My mother (rest her soul) use to tell people she knew when I drove up the driveway because all the windows in the house would rattle. We had a nice brick house. Also, I noticed that when I pulled up beside someone at a stop light, people would turn and look at me every time. A friend told me it made his car vibrate. My truck body would shake when in gear, running. So I understand what you are talking about. Nowhere near 10,000hp though. .
For those that do not already know, that is Firebird Lake. Firebird Lake is a man made lake for "water sports" that sits along side I-10 between Tucson AZ and Phoenix AZ (closer to Phoenix)
Dan R Right next to Firebird Dragstrip and a hell of a lot closer to Phoenix. Lol
Must run downhill too that’s why they were going so fast!! 😂
Have you ever seen water run uphill, of course the course slants downhill.
Dan R 🤦🏽♂️
Almost within the Phoenix city limits. Hell of a long way from Tucson.
The dual props and the canopies have saved countless lives. More top fuel boat drivers were lost back in the 70’s than in any other motor sport.
Yes Dan, you're absolutely right
I remember the great Eddie Hill saying “my top fuel dragster doesn’t accelerate as hard as my boat.” You can see the fabric of space-time warp when the boat gets up on a plane. There is nothing as violent in the motor sports world as the first half of a top fuel hydro run!
Yes Eddie Hill is a legend

I raced boats back in the early to mid 90s and I can't express enough how much fast it feels being on water. Fasted I was ever able to go on water was 198.8 MPH. What an amazing ride it is...
So how difficult is it to keep a team together for water version with operational expenses compared to the asphalt version? I also was in the sport but a Funny Car on asphalt in the late 90's. Max speed was 270 at about a 5.6 on alcohol-not methane.
That’s a real cunt you could not do 200 mph

"turn up the volume" *continues to blast 200dBs of pain into my ears*
that's what the fish said
"continues to blast 200dBs of pain into my ears" Ever been to a dragstrip when the top-fuelers are on? If you don't have ear plugs/muffs and can hear anything but ringing for hours afterward, you were deaf to start with. You can *feel* those engine notes in your chest.
i want to see a system who gets 200 db
Well, this sure beats my other video recommendations - "Andes Goat Herding" and "Trombone Repair For Novices"

To people saying water is not solid, try wiping out on a slalom ski at about 70 MPH. I have bounced 4 or 5 times before I ever got wet.I have also come out of the water bleeding and never hit anything but water.
That was awesome
Is weird that they don't do a burnout before the race
CRAP! I wanted to make this joke.
Yeah really ! They need to heat up the props ! Speaking of which. I wonder just how hot the props do get at the end of a run ?
It is called fishout here.
Yeah, heat up the hull and make it more grippy
Never been a burned rubber fan. Straight nitro methane!
Was deaf and turned up the volume. Now I can hear again.
Logicality and politicaly correct
Gotta loosen up those rusty ear bones I guess....
I grew up 10ish miles from here and could hear the boats from my house
Those nitromethane engines sound amazing
In the beginning I turned it up when they were just idling and I was like pfft that's it?? then they took off and I about fell back in my chair.. lol
I honestly didn't think acceleration like that was possible. The figures are just incredible , makes cars look like snails.
Yes it's hard to believe, even when you're standing right there.
Well.. At least cars don't need a full engine rebuild after every run and consume about 1/50th or so of what these boats consume.

Trolling for Muskies would be next level awesomeness🚤💨🐟🎣
I would REALLY like to see one of these races in person. AND a sprint boat race. Two on my bucket list. I was amazed when I saw one of these boats in person the first time...they are TINY! I've seen an unlimited "offshore" race, and that was spectacular. What really amazes me with these boats is the safety in place and how well it functions. I've seen several "incidents" where I didn't think the pilot had any chance of survival, and usually "walks away" unscathed. Kudos to whoever made this happen.
Being there is amazing, especially at the starting line. The thunderous sound, the 1/4 mile rooster tail, it's like nothing else you've ever experienced. See in in person if you can.

The thing that always stuns me when I watch these guys is how the rooster tail of water is still falling at the start line AFTER the boat shuts down at the end of the run! Even when they ran the full quarter mile, the rooster tail hung in the air until after shutdown. Eddie Hill once said his top-fuel dragster didn't accelerate as hard as his boat! It's just wrong!
Great comment Howard, Eddie Hill's a legend
I´ve never witnessed something as American as this.
It is truly extremely American.
Alex, this is nothing, you should watch trailer races
People 20 miles away were probably outside wondering wtf was happening 🤣
