*Thats whats up brother thanks for all you do...MERICA!!!*
Frig man just ordered my heat waves oh welll🤘🏻🇺🇸
Dammit.. I just bought 3 new shirts on Friday.
You’re the man Cleet!!! Thanks
I love you guys! Hell yeah
James....don't use water thru the headers. You don't need it. The headers are already old and crusty looking and you don't have noise restrictions there so no need for the water. It's only causing you tunning problems running water thru the headers. Turn them valves off!
This comment needs more likes!!!
White vapor smoke shows it
This is the absolute truth he has no reason to inject those things
Yea they sure as hell ain't some fresh set of chrome Bassett headers on there!! Shut that water off to the headers!
This 1000% its not needed at all. The water just helps to keep the chrome from bluing and to protect the hull/transom from heat damage. The headers are far enough from the hull and transom for that to not matter and they sure as shit aint chrome. Run em dry and let her eat!
Remember when James would only have a couple seconds of camera time, now without him there's no silly punchlines haha. Love the progression of this channel!
Him AND FreezerBurn are basically like Hammond and May. What are the odds that Cleetus created a whole new style of Top Gear?? Astronomical, but it has been done.
@@jimrustle643 I definitely see that. Cleetus is too awesome. Inspires murica in everyone! A true American hero! I'm a vet. So I can say that lol. Jk. But fr fr
@@jimrustle643 Definately what the american version of top gear should have been
James is a third of this channel. Cleet, mady, jackstand!!!!
Jackstand and Georgie are great
I think when this is all over you need to take Toasts old Big Block and put it into James boat and have a real Fun Machine.
that jet drive is probably going to self destruct with that 632
@@mickoostingh5777 It very well might...but it would still be fun to watch. :)
@@craig2963 thats for sure
That would rip those stringers right out lol
The boat would tear itself to pieces from the sheer torque that engine makes, but i am all here for it 🤣🤣🤣
Would love to see a full rebuild series of the jet boat, the design of the old hulls is super cool. Hope you guys can do something awesome with it. Thanks for all you do!
Toasts old motor would be a great fit
@@natemarotto3965 toasts old motor is going in that square body roll back that was left at the FF
Longtime subscribers can easily notice how much more comfortable James has gotten in front of the camera and his amazing personality shines through! Cleetus did an amazing job at foreseeing what James would eventually become when he brought him on the team as his mechanic/partner. Seeing other channels in the past and even this channel have part of the team branch out on their own I was extremely excited when we learned that James was part of the Motion Raceworks partnership deal!!!! That means that hCleetus and himself are going to be working together for quite a while in the future!
I agree and i see the same happening with alec when he gets comfortable.
This. All of this. Been watching that duo for years.
James was super awkward and quiet when he started. Never saw the personality we see now lol
James in the jet boat and cleet with his flamingo and George in the nightmare is some of the funniest friendships I have ever seen. The other guys are so lucky and are doing great themselves….. the best content on KZhead…
Are they business partners tho
Even with its multitude of problems, the jet boat has the highest cool factor. For me , this is my favorite challenge series you've done so far.
She needs some love. There could be some money to be made or a ripper to own.
Me too! I hope Finney whispers in their ear what this boat can be
It just needs the engine running right. (and not throwing belts.)
Was thinking the same, I hope they can get it running reliably, it would def be a keeper.
That jet boat makes over 350 hp if it’s in good shape. My grandpa has the same exact boat and it’s pumping out 470 hp ( after watching more of the video it doesn’t sound very good so I’m guessing 250 hp )
Hearing y'all root for the other boats to break down is the most wholesome fun you can have with your buddies. Good stuff
I almost feel like George should get 1 point for every time he has to tow another boat XD
He should have deducted half a point from Jackstand each tow in so it would be George-5 Jackstand-6 Cleetus-7
Jame's boat is like the Ruby for the boats ! Junkyard founded, running sketchy on a old rusty V8.. and it's RED !
And I bet after these challenges, if they keep it, it'll get a turbo 427... Become a playmate for game over.
@@earlyre I'm hoping more like 540ci lol
The back of their boat needs to be stickered up like ruby and then kev needs to fab up a hitch like leroy so ruby can pull it
@@pw383426 yeah who needs turbos when you have a 9 liter motor 😂 and if you run turbos, even better 🤣🤣
Let's Go brother!
Everytime Jackstand's boat fired up Cleetus and Georgie's heart sank just a little further...
I think George is finally realizing that putting 200 hp decals on a 100 HP Mercury outboard doesn't magically increase your horsepower by 100.
“I can smell the paint”
Only a K&N sticker can do that lol
I was looking for a comment like this lol , looks like a L4 100 hp or L4 115
Fun drinking game: take a shot every time Cleetus says "cavitate"
Doing it now, hell yeah brother!
"There's budget left" Famous words by Jackstand
Need a shirt made.
What!? budget left and he didnt get any spray
that's where George needs to come up with a towing bill. just happens to be the same as the budget James has left.. lol 🤣🤣
@@mrmcflunday2164 sneaky......I like how you think 😂🤣
B.O.A.T. = Break out another thousand...
The headers of Jack stands boat are dry headers and don't need water to cool the exhaust. The water is backing up into the heads and causing it to run bad.
That makes no sense. .....wouldn't you want water too the heads to keep them cool.......is it a circulation problem? ??
@@trentdawg2832 Headers, not heads.
Not gonna run good if the water gets into the combustion chamber.. needs proper headers on it
@@trentdawg2832 The heads are cooled by the engine cooling system. The headers really do look like dry headers. Some are water cooled to keep people from getting burned or to keep the metal from turning blue.
Possibly. He did have milky oil. Also a gate valve coming directly off the pump helps bring the water pressure in the engine down. A tight berkley can pump 100psi through the water line, no gasket is going to stand a chance
JACKSTANDDDD, "like i tell george, anyone can buy a minivan". Someone give this man a job in stand up comedy. Great content ya'll. Always stellar.
Cleetus congratulations on building an amazing team, the dynamic between you 3 is truly amazing. Been watching for many years and this channel just keeps getting better
After this series, James need to rebuild and make that boat a screamer.
Collab with Kevin and Finnegan
@@jkbaker01 that would be cool
@@mbbb9244 the haul is still good the engine is trash.... I'd buy it from them and make a drag boat out of it again
With a blower and zoomies!
*With a nitrous texas speed 427*
Jackstand Jimmy is the winner overall. I don't care what anyone else says. James boat sounds great when it's running.
It sounds so good and it’s super fast
@@rylanmcguire6789 surprises the hell out of me especially what he paid for it. Imagine that being your first boat.
Super saddened as it explodes 🤪🩹🚤
I hope this marks the start of McFarland marine racing, we need a floating version of Ruby.
The jet boat was so dope it was hard not to laugh at how much trouble it was having but then when they went to race it just took off lol
Jackstands boat is the best worst boat I have ever seen.
After this is over, I'd love to see them drop that drive train in a river boat. After some more tuning of course. Maybe some Texas speed too. 🤔
@@RCinginSC hell yeah
It kind of sums up BB jet boat experience perfectly
"Wanna borrow my shoe laces?" "Get a shot of my shoes..." "Ain't no laces to lend brother!" I'm dead.🤣
I’ve heard you can use women’s pantyhose as a belt substitute. Assuming one has a woman around that wears pantyhose and that you can get them off. Lol.
Love these boat challenge videos! The smack talk with James and George is great! Welcome to the channel full time George. James and George together is always a recipe for a good laugh! Keep up the good guys!
You guys are genuinely great guys. You can see that your friendship is rock solid. I wish I had the chance to kick it with you on the level without cameras to get to know you all. You definitely seem like the kind of crew that I would love to be a part of.
Dude if James's boat was running even 50% better this would have been no competition 👍
It was a competition between George and Cleetus
@@joshuanicolai4776 he would’ve never even been able to buy that boat if it was running even 25% better than it was running
That boat is one HELL of a UNIT brother!
They just need to throw an LS in there or the motor from toast.
He's having so many problems cause he's adding water to that exhaust when it's not needed with that style header
Yup
For real
Lmao this boat challenge is like 10x's better than even anticipated. The trash talk is GREAT!!! 🤣🤣
I really appreciate George’s presence on the channel lately!!!
I've never seen a more perfect fit than James and that boat. Big block Chevy and loud as hell.
So true
Eventually they need to drop a Ruby Clone in there.
"Anyone can buy a minivan" - James as he desperately tries to get his Fiero to start
🤣🤣
☠️
Best comment so far!
💀💀💀💀
Big body language at the end of the episode with George and Jackstand. Hands on hips. Aggressive assertive stance. The competition is so real. Loving the trash talk and tuna pranks. Keep it coming. This boat content just gets better and better.
Georgie, of all three boats, I would want yours. Your boat is all around the most practical for a day of fun out on the water. THUMBS UP BUDDY!
Isn’t there a blueprint 632 sitting in the shop? Seems like a good fit for James boat.
Absolutely!
I like avocados
@@chloehennessey6813 I can just see it now, they spend a lot of coin on the Red Rocket, and go up against Game Over.
You’re right, that would be a good fit
@@trixter192 No contest. Game Over has technology everywhere. Not to mention the pilot parachute and Kevlar undies.
i really REALLY hope jackstand rebuilds his boat! itll be soo sick!
Needs a TEXAS SPEED MOTOR
needs some Texas Speed love!
This whole George and James era is no less than amazing! Please continue these great examples of freedom!
I love all of your videos, but i think videos like these are on the top of the list for me! I always smile and laugh so much! Thank you Cleetus and the Team.
I would really love to see Jackstand's boat properly sorted. It has potential to be an amazing beast without the troubles that he has been having.
No doubt. With a little TLC Red Rocket would be a ripper.
Love how temperamental this thing is with all its problems tho. You never know if its gonna play nice or not, but when it does, it shreds the water.
I'd like to see it turboed like Mr Finnigans
@@bmws1krr179 nevermind the turbo, he just needs to talk to Finney about a new pump and blue printing the bottom of the hull. That alone will make it the fastest boat outbof all his buddies
@@pw383426 I'm fairly new to these boats but it looks like a blast. I did go back and see the hull on this one seems effed. Lots of trial and error to get to fins to where it's at including the hull.
Guys, please don't ever grow up. We Need kids like you to make the world a happier place. And louder..... Keep on...
he drove along way for that boat james did, he fought with it constantly an still is, persistence pays.
Let’s gooooo. The way y’all compete is amazing and I love every second. This had the rivalry and suspense of rmrw almost.
James needs to turn the water down on the exhaust. No steam til 3,000 rpm and and set the idle higher so it doesn't die. 1,200 rpm idle should be fine.
@Max Power I know NOTHING about boats. If ya don't mind, why do you need to cool the exhaust with what basically looks like an open header exhaust. It can't be a flow thing can it? Again, I know nothing.
@@danielnelson4881 You dont, as far as I know.
@@danielnelson4881 Coast Guard rules regarding fire safety. Water injection also legally counts as a muffling device.
@Max Power yeah he should definitely find a marine cam for it.
I don't know much about boats either but this is a weird thought is there any way to get a butterfly valve for the water line that feeds the exhaust so every time he hits the throttle it opens up and allows a little bit more water to go through? Basically like an intake but for water. That way when hes idling there's not so much water in it and when it gets on it it'll dump more into the exhaust keeping it cool and muffling the sound I don't know if they make such a device But if they do he could hook it to the throttle linkage.
Jet boat needs a restore and stroker with a super charger after this “season”
Toasts old motor or bust
James needs to plumb some water through his exhaust
@@codylinn9548 no shit...that would be amazing...but it CLEARLY needs a new tunnel and transom, you can see it flex in a couple bits.
Junkyard Tahoe motor or bust lol
Agreed just throw everything go fast at it lol
The friend/shop hijinks are GREAT. Can really tell they're all enjoying themselves so much! The cheap car challenges are golden too 🙏🏼🙏🏼
James boat is just awesome ... when it runs of course, which makes it all the more autehntic, too. Just awesome. Congrat James!
Them yelling at James “who timed your boat” is not the best insult considering it barely runs lol
It’s running on a solid 6
When you set the mechanical advanced at about 1500rpm then yeah your idle timing is going to be waaay low.
It sucking water into the engine has nothing to do with it running like shit.
@@Deepwaterjew a little water is fine, as a treat
@@imdabeast100 yeah but that's like telling a fat kid the fun size Snickers is all he gets.
Never thought I'd see people talking shit to one another without getting butthurt and starting a riot. Thanks for still being genuine American Fellers.
It's like theyre normal people hahaha, none of this over enthusiasm.
@@flexnlexus129 I can't stand the fakes that act way over hype about something trying to get their viewers hyped up. It's so cringey
Surely George and Zac deserve bonus points for repping McFarland Marine shirts and the extra loud board shorts? 🤷 Cool series guys and heaps of laughs!
The bass through my speakers from that big block is insane 😂😂
When this competition is over, James boat needs to be fixed up right. That thing could be SWEET
Sadly they might sell them after this comp
Nah. Fix it up! keeper for sure
I think it's more likely that James will give it to Whistling Diesel to destroy.
Texas speed big block
I’m so glad Whistin Diesel is exposing Cletus.
As long as the trash talk between James and George doesn't get serious this is pretty fun
kinda feel like it’s serious though
I don't know, man. It seems to be ramping up pretty quick. I hope they know the line, but I guess we'll see lol.
I was thinking the same thing seems like there is some real tension between them
@@zakm7907 Lmao @ him cutting the line with the razor blade. I think it's all in good fun.
I agree. It sure seems like Goerge really likes to push the envelope. I dont recall seeing this when Goerge was on RMRW or the other occasions he was on the channel. Hope it's just playing...
Please do more boat uploads they are so fun to watch I feel like everyone would love some more boat uploads like these. Well done love the content.
Jackstand wins already for just the sound. And the fact that this bigblock is literally the reason why I watch!
I think George being on the channel is one of the best things that’s happened yet!!!
There needs to be a shirt made that says, "theres still budget left". How in the world is there still budget left
Cause there’s still budget left duh 🙄
I will x2 that shirt.
This 😂
I'd buy it haha
He could be pulling parts from the shop that are laying around or not being used. How many v8’s are in that shop? There only two outboard motors and that’s nightmare and flamingo.
Since they were on the water James said “that’s like 17 cruise ships” 😂😂😂😂
Man it is awesome watching jack stand and George heckle each other that looked like such a good time
This is fun stuff and after the challenges are over, that boat of James can be turned into something pretty sweet with not a lot of money. Hope to see some kind of project involving it.
Ehh, the boat is pretty beat and has some rot in it. They have the money to and the shells aren’t that expensive, I would assume they would probably just get a new shell
Twin turbo ls haha
@@ryanjohnson8340 i love how everyone think the boat could handle power without ripping in half when the transoms made of rotted fibreglass an silicone lol
@Max Power yeah but you know these boys would be going crazy and have like minimum 1000hp lol
James won the only part of the challenge he cared about
I bet he was sad he could not do a burnout in a boat
I literally love this channel and what’s it’s become!! Don’t wanna shit on cooper but with him here it wouldn’t be the channel that it is rn James and cleet and George are the best combo no matter what they’re doing it’s entertaining as hell brother
the boat part of this channel has just brought it to another level!!!! you guys have awsom content.
James boat deserves 5 bonus points for best sounding exhaust,100%...
👌
And cams, that chop is crazy
Jackstand learned why there's that old saying, "The two best days of a boat owners life..."
The day you buy it and the day you sell it
Yup just sold mine I can def attest to this.
Boat. Bring Out Another Thousand
@@trencher325 The saying is "Break out another thousand."
If it flies, floats or f#cks.... Renting is cheaper.
George is the best!!!I love that he is part of this channel!!♡
Keep it up!! Liking the crew challenges, the water ones are great but anything with the boys is great!!
Can’t wait to see James boat rebuilt after the challenges
Exactly what I was thinking
I love that every video George seems like he is truly living his best life! Best addition to the channel since Leeroy and he is my spirit animal
Lovin' the boat series. After its over, we need bigger and better, and faster boat content haha
This video on your boat challenge was very entertaining and so hilarious! I needed this after having a tough week at work. Good work guys! 😂
Those victory braps from James are priceless. All he needed is that win. 😂🏆
just walking them out lol
#SUMMEROFFREEDOM IMO George’s tow point should come from James total points 👏👍
The nightmare seems to be a real Knightmare, the exact same energy as Jeremy Clarkson's Alfa 75. Or at least until he cut the tow cord XD Still tugged the Red Rocket into dock regardless, it may be slower, but its a trooper carrying its broken brethren home
I'm in love w/ the good ol' Jackstand red BB jet ... but I'm super impressed w/ the Flamingo even though there were some handling issues
The whole boat challenge series has been none stop hilarious! Definitely gotta do a bigger one in the future
Goerges aluminum prop was his down fall. 4 blades for the bite. Goerge shoukd get a point every time he pulls someone in. Reliability challenge
At least he got one and on the other end of that I think James should lose a point for lack of reliability.
Garrett, today is my 18th birthday, I just got tickets for Cleetus & Cars Houston. I’m so excited
Hell yea brother!
Happy Birthday 🎈🎉 🎂
Get a shout out for me brother!! From the US Army in Germany!!
Happy birthday brother! Where can I get my tickets? 😶
@@pedroos022 thank you for your service.
James is by far the next funniest to cleet . Y’all were made to be bros🤘🏼🇺🇸
This was a fantastic episode. Way better than mini jets. The friendly trash talk is great
George deserves 1 point for each time he's towed jackstand back home.
I was about to say the same
Hey Jackstand, whenever you're ready to sell that boat, let me know. I call dibs on it lol
I call the nightmare!!!!!
I got $5k cash right now for that behemoth
George is such a brilliant edition to the team
Tye fits in great too. Talented as heck, and he's great on camera.
Its crazy how James boat running like total ass easily beat the other two. Just like they say boys. There's no replacement for displacement!
are you talking about hull displacement or engine displacement. its got nearly none of one, and a lot of the other
well its just as light maybe a bit heavier but it has over double the horsepower
Yes there is a replacement for displacement. Turbo.
funny enough, at our drag boat events up here in the midwest (where we know how to run a small boat fast) there is only 1 jet boat in a field with about 12 outboards (in the unlimited class that runs 115+).
The jet boat is an unfair advantage, but James knew that. Well played!
the only limit was overall price.... James just played the game better
@@ralan350 Hence why I said, well played.
Always a blast to watch you guys and these antics here lol.
James' boat sounds exactly like a proper 1970s racecar should IMO. What a sound!
james badass jetboat needs to live on after this challenge, put some efi and get rid of that cooling system and backflowing headers
oh yeah , after the challenge is done, they need to max it out
“It’s not here for a long time, it’s only here for a good time”. - Jackstand. *T-shirt inspiration
12:19 I was waiting for George to scream "Monica!" as Garrets pulling away, lol.
“Mattin the gas on em boy!” 😂😂🙌🏽 these boat challenges gotta be some of the best videos by far
Jeremy ain't had this much fun in the last 5 years. I'm really happy for george.
The shit talking has officially leveled up nearly to Hoonigan levels. I am HERE FOR IT
Good honest mates trash talk
@@kenleach2516 yessir they do!
I think James needs to not put the water into the exhaust. They're not jacketed marine manifolds or through the hull so it doesn't matter. Looks like it's just hurting the motor
Yep, he doesn't need to run it it's only for cooling the headers which are to roached out to worry about at this point...
Yeah, really not sure why cooling them was ever deemed necessary. Even if it is, probably only for long sustained high throttle runs well over what they'll ever be doing
Why would anybody have something like that in the first place because with the original closed system air cooling than everything would be fine with water pump n shit. Just have to strictky use water only for the fishes..
@@alexmawdsley Because they’re typically surrounded by a ton of highly flammable stuff- not including the fuel.
@@Z-Ack , what? Lol! There is no closed cooling, and there is no water pump, it pulls water off the pump bowl. Not sure about your Air Cooled comment…
Dude! This totally reminds me of my times down on our river screwing around with buddies. Jumping boat wakes on my Kawasaki SX650 standup was a favorite of mine.
As a boater w/ a ski fish and a deck boat… I can certainly appreciate the concavity lol- This series is fantastic!! Love the color commentary “Ain’t got no Laces to LEND Brothherrrrrrrrr!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Cavitation is a phenomenon in which the static pressure of a liquid reduces to below the liquid's vapour pressure, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities in the liquid. When subjected to higher pressure, these cavities, called "bubbles" or "voids", collapse and can generate shock waves that may damage machinery. These shock waves are strong when they are very close to the imploded bubble, but rapidly weaken as they propagate away from the implosion.
Jackstand needs to give that engine a good going over, probably start with either rebuilding or replacing that carb.
i think he just needs a hand throttle. Looks like he struggles to keep even pressure on that foot peddle.
It's a new carb. First thing he did to the boat.
Omg always a technophobe with basic obvious advice, James is an A1 mechanic! How condescending you are!
Unless those valves do more than just run water into the exhaust to cool them then just leave them turned off, i don't think they are helping either.
@@HashDogg06 thats how a marine engine is cooled, without out them it will overheat
I really wish James would just leave the water valves closed. That thing would run so much better!
Ya with them not going out the bottom and back why does it need water valves? I don't get it. Big blocks run open headers in cars all the time!
The water is to cool the engine. From what I understand it is like the radiator but circulates the lake water in instead of a closed radiator system.
@@brianclark785 the inside is still water cooled the valves in question are to keep the headers cool if they were still pretty lol..that ship has sailed so it is no longer needed.
The cooling system on his boat looks like it was a budget build. Should have a pressure regulator to regulate the water pressure coming off the drive into the engine, and a proper setup has valves that go to the headers that shut themselves at idle, and will open at speed.
Been wondering about all that. The jet boat I almost bought this spring didn't have that setup. Had me curious cause imma find me a jetboat! This deal is making me want one more
This is a great series. Love it!
James became the cherry on top of the cake haha who’s here mostly waiting for James to get in action w he’s boat ?
I think we need to see jackstands boat dialed in on nitrous after the challenge
Ls swap on nitrous….
James's budget seems never ending every time he puts the couple dollars he has left in his pocket they multiply.
That's the magic of a good mechanic!
@@nightlike9006 my brother the same way. He will buy one for 1000 fix it and trade it off for two more cars or enough to buy a couple more easy fixers. He'll turn 1,500 into 5,000 in a week maybe less
@@jhawk1985 what kind of cars does he go for? I've been looking at Toyotas and Hondas
@@jaynikk758 civics and accords
@@jaynikk758 he dont descriminate. If its an easy fixer and he can make a few dollars. Stay away from German cars except VW some of those cars are easy fixers too. He usually buys and fixes cars to help out the less fortunate folks buy a descent runner. He owns his own shop too so he fixes their cars when problems arise
Awesome videos! I love the competitions! Keep up the hard work :)
