love the bbq grill sparky sounding thing to ignite the engines 00:48!
You hear that on helicopters and turbo prop engines too. Such a cool noise. Excellent video
Those are also useful in potato guns.
That’s literally what it is, just a MUUUCH bigger spark!
Tight fit at Havasu springs
I love hearing that sound everytime we stsrt engines, on every aircraft I've ever worked... These bad boys out out a few thousand (s) volts more spark than the grill ignitor does... But still very similar concept and sound... Except for a bad time when you don't hear it... I guess for both the engine and the grill situation..
That center console with 5 outboards thought he would for sure be lake boss that day. Poor guy.
Lol he like we’ll time to put it back on the trailer
Still have an awesomely terrifying fire hazard risk with this type of vessel. If I'm just running an outboard motor and have an engine fire i have a pretty good idea where in fact the fire is located.
That one is actually usable as a boat. The other... isn't.
@@prava163 how is it not usable?
@@fartsoundeffect5013 for one it has a huge exhaust in the middle of the boat. That is an extreme hazard if i have ever seen one
I would love to see that thing rip haulover
Yessssss me too!!
It would do more than rip Haulover. The boat would probably EMPTY Haulover.
Omm
It would own, dominate and humiliate that poor inlet.
Me too 😺
A nice quiet and peaceful day on the lake.
Yeah, until the rich guy shows up with his toys.
Destroyed by the high pitch and smell of kerosene from twin turbines.
This boat is nice as all hell, but by the time they've started it I'd be half way across that lake in my inflatable row boat. And yes, that comment does come from a place of sheer envy 😂 Congrats on making it bud!
Just remember my blowup boat friend that in order to get to that point speedy Jeff probably had to sacrifice an awful lot to become successful..young family growing up etc ( you can't buy that back) Wealth cannot be measured by counting money.....go enjoy your blow boat...the world is yours.
By the time he’s started it he’s through have his fuel.Knucklehead is gonna kill himself and his buddies
Yup, this bread won't numb the pain, but it'll break your fall
🤣
❤❤❤❤
This is kinda hilarious, it’s a straight pissing contest at that lake.
And the bloke that owns that... I dont know.... 600 000 dollar boat... he definately pissed higher than anyone there that day. He won the contest, And his matching chopper, well.. he had a matching chopper!. I just hope he is a self made millionaire/billionaire because if he is,he deserves to flaunt his well deserved prosperity. If he was just born super rich and inherited his money then He probably doesn't know how really really tough the rest of us are doing it.
Yup, same with that 5x450 at the end.. So pointless but funny at the same time..
@@manicmasterofmetal2620 probably a million, at minimum
@@truthbydesign5146 yeah i was just having a stab in the dark
Nice boat probably won't last long
Most Anticlimactic Video ever!! Let's see this thing ripping down the river!!!
Lake
@@MrEazyE357 River my guy, River!! Lake Havasu (/ˈhɑːvəsuː/) is a large reservoir formed by Parker Dam on the Colorado River, on the border between San Bernardino County, California and La Paz County, Arizona. Some key words, "ON THE COLORADO RIVER!" {{{{{{{{BOOM}}}}}}}} Don't @ Me!!
@@GrinDiesel1969 You're an idiot.....I mean, you even called it by it's name in your own comment "Lake Havasu" - which is in fact a reservoir as you stated. Let me help you out dummy. res·er·voir /ˈrezərˌvwär/ noun: a large natural or artificial lake used as a source of water supply.

When the paint scheme on your boat and helicopter match, you know you’ve made it.
na, when you have a matching 9 passenger jet
@@cardboardboification levels to the game
Got to sell a lot of coke to afford that. lol
@@TheBeingReal Shit, if i had all the money i wasted on Coke, i probably could have both of these.
@@badass6.0powerstroke10 😆😆
Cool! Worked as an engineer at the Army Engine Plant in Connecticut on T-53 and T-55 Turbines where these engines were born ;-) We also built the AGT-1500 gas turbine that is in the US Army's Abram MI main battle tank. Some people think turbines are only for aircraft :-)
Have you seen the unlimited hydroplanes run? They use the T-55 L7 turbine, about 3000 hp, they are fast! Bet that was an awesome job you had! 👍✌️
I bet you guys were at least smart enough to wear ear defenders when doing run up leak checks under the hood at 100 rpm? These dudes eardrums are probably shot by now lol!
Howard Arneson and Rocky Aoki would have big smiles on their faces watching this. They lived for this kind of stuff. I had the pleasure of knowing both of them.
That's what I call FU money. Matching helicopter 😂
Gotta be cartel lol P. S. Hope I'm not on a hitlist now for saying that lol
That was a fantastic video and I thank you, I am just in awe of the boats today with their multiple engines and now twin turbines, just amazing. In my youth I thought the old hydroplanes with their surplus Allison engines were beautiful and topping 100 mph was quite the accomplishment. Now a fishing boat could out run them. Love the power boat videos and I hope you can continue showing more. allison
Shoot in my youth I thought my 50 horse Johnson was cool and fast lol
That boat with 5 outboards thought he had a chance. 🤣lol lookin at it like wtf is that!...not a chance bud!
That boat is his as well. Not the paint scheme matches his helicopter
I'll bet you that the dude that owns the fuel dock sends this guy a thank you card EVERY time he pulls in!
I wonder if he's using any fuel a fuel dock would supply. He MIGHT be running diesel in it, but Jet A is more likely.
And you're still a nobody.
Guess the owner will let his crew trailer the boat to the airfield where his helo is and fuel both at the same time..
Many moons ago, I once had a deep-V slalom ski-boat with single 6-cylinder Mercury outboard. We used to run it in a shallow sea-swell at about 70 mph, and it was a safe, but violent experience hitting every other swell-top - but it was a shed-load of fun. I can’t imagine doing 100 mph on top of that, in anything floating 🤣
Those "strange" noises that are heard while maneuvering, are the clutches on each drive being engaged/disengaged. The pilot is essentially steering the boat at that point with the independent props...
Those are not clutches. The boat has crash boxes. What you hear are the PT's being engaged and disengaged via disc brakes on the PT shafts. You put the drives in and out of gear while the PT is not rotating, that's the whole idea behind crash boxes. There are buttons on the shift levers to engage and disengage the brakes as you shift and manoeuvrer the boat.
My Sweetie got me a new golf bag for my birthday! I'm happy.
I enjoyed that way too much. I was grinning so big, that it made my jaws hurt.
I got teary eyed when it left...what an awesome boat...
Sad life you must have ... Cheer up man
How many gauges you want in your boat? YES! And how many outboards you want? YES!
The good ole days.. Miss it Big Time!!!!.
Oh this takes me back to my youth when we would go to APBA events, Chip Hanauer in that beautiful blue Miss Pico when he came back to battle the Budweiser beast 🤩
That thing is wicked cool. Would love to see it at full chat!
You and me both but it would probably just be a blur lol
Hes never had it off idle,
Idling is all he can afford. Gotta finish paying for that choppa!
Yes they are loud!!!! From the sound of the startup and the size of the exhaust I would guess they are T53-L11 or 13 engine, that the military designation of the engines that were in Huey helicopter I worked on in Vietnam i
Legend says he has a fuel tanker on stand-by in the waters...
what an insane boat!!
Unless they have jet A I doubt it.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! I KNOW THE GUYS WHO PILOT THE MISS GEICO AND LOVE BEING AROUND THAT BOAT!!
Bird magnet all year long, cream machine 😍
perfect bass boat
There's a guy in S F bay using three turbines and lights the burners for fire balls,,he's proud that he is 75 yrs old and runs the bay at three times his age.Palo Alto to Crockett 7min.
Coo,coo,nuts love it !!
You guys are insane!!! Instant subscription
I remember my navy ship that had 4 jet engine's that screamed! And how fast that sucker would go!! WOW it was a beast on water.
Do you winterized turbine motors
Me and a buddy flew out to Havasu for this weekend Cat Festival, Had a great time, any more footage coming??
no

This is awesome.
You know you got too much money when you have a helicopter also. Awesome boat. Let her eat!!!👍👍
People in Mumbai " you know you have to much money when you own a smart phone and a computer" durp
@@PsychobabbleRapp lol
You dont have as heli, 😱
Naw just enjoying life bro lol
@@PsychobabbleRapp hahahaha
I love the sound of turbines spooling up.
My cat hates it
All dressed in the exact same gear ! 😂😵💫
He told them to.
Got to operate a Saturn NG Compressor set and a pair of center 10kw generators for a good many years, nothing like it.
The most expensive vacuumcleaner I have ever seen.
Now who want's to go water skiing 😎
All that just to go for a ride...reminds me of watching jets take off at airport. Waiting to get to go in this beast is like being stuck on a plane waiting to taxi. Can appreciate the flaunt of money tho👍
Awesome power !!!!
I've been working out for a few weeks. I recon my row boat would give this thing a good run for the $!
Do you have 40 foot oars?
@@timcrawford8744 only while is was warming up. My new 65' oars really get the job done!
Oh, of course, the advanced compilation oar length. Well done!
Competition .....sorry
@@timcrawford8744 thank you for noticing, my good man!
Brachial brutal endless Power machine👌👌👍👍💪💪
We are looking at a Turboshaft application right? They're harnessing torque from the shaft, not thrust from a nozzle, right?
This might be the future for those very slow-moving super sized luxury yachts.
Love that sound I'm sure you'll need some ear protection if your rite there.
Skater! Built right near me in Douglas, MI! Way to rep.
MY DREAM BOAT !
Wish He was my friend. That boat is sick!
I had no idea money could burn that fast LOL!!!!!!!!
5:16 That guy deserves a free beer
definitely. no money for a goot crew ;)
I saw it at Put In Bay, absolutely diabolical
Nice 👍 beautiful boat. Does it have afterburner 🔥
Money doesn't make you happy! They all looked happy to me!! 😃
Great, a boat so loud that you can’t give commands to the crew. Maybe they can text each other😂
6 person intercom is normally used.
Am I the only one that would just rather have that center console? 🍻
I'd like to know what exactly is the R2D2 and C3PO noises. Like where do they come from exactly.
Cool part starts at 5:30 save yourself some time.
so do you need a boat license or a pilot license for this?
Nice boat
Tubing behind this is next level .
you try first?
Engine Fire Control Automated? Size of bottle ? Burn rate ? Reduction setup?
My father flew (as crew) in USCG HH 52 helicopters for over a decade. Upon retirement, he no longer could hear high-pitched sounds liked birds, crickets. I wonder why? -and those only have one turbine. On a side note- anybody else notice how there’s no chicks around?
oh man, that noise, can only imagine the damage years of that would do. Ha, the girls were on the more comfy and "quiter" boats
Yup, sausage fest. At least they look cool... NOT
Good trolling motor.
Al Copeland had a turbine Skater in the early 90s. His had a little gas-powered kicker motor for getting in and out of the harbor. One day they couldn't get the kicker motor stared so they packed up and went home. Refused to go out without a functioning kicker motor.
Awesome
BIG BOIS PLAYIN WITH BIG BOI TOYZ MAKING BIG BOI NOIZ!
This boat use to be in Lake Erie in Ohio glad to see it’s still around.
How are you supposed to relax listening to that all day?
You're not. Besides, the noise inside the boat is much less. And most have intercom systems.
Speedy Jeff? Maybe Richy Jeff? A fucking rich Jeff!
It is at Chino Airport, CA.
Guy with baddest boat on the lake with boat load of hard richards. Must be compensating for something😂
How come when I launch my 4 cyl 18’ open bow Reinell , I don’t attract a crowd?
What a weapon
Does he compete in this boat? Killer looking...but is it overkill for Havasu? The dual hull Design is so killer!
Lovely
He spent more money idling at the dock than it cost to buy my whole house
Do they have to haul in fuel? I don't know of a fuel dock that carries anything but gas and diesel.
Mother in law in the trunk yelling - HELP-LET ME OUT
Awesome 😎👍😊
Love to see afterburner at full glow
@5:31 Quint outboard Tirrahna commences doing donuts
Jeez, that "SHIP" is ALOT of machined parts. So here I am building a 100 H.P 100cc ultra lite bike for Bonneville. (building for for 1H.P per CC) Feeling overwhelmed at how daunting it is to be designing/machining titanium components in my basement, at the ragged edge of sanity. Spending endless days to make and balance a few high stress components within 20mg ......😱I feel much better now after watching this vid.
Take that boat through Haulover and I might be impressed.
That boat will have zero issues with Haulover. Plenty of MTI's, Skaters and Mystics have crushed Haulover.
Looks like Havasu landing? I heard the street party Thursday for desert storm is back on...the city had canceled it due to COVID at one point. Over 200 boats registered for DS poker run.
Havasu Springs. I have a place in the Landing and they never came in. Bummer.
Wow, I wish I could drive one of theese in Panama
Money well spent!
where would you put the down riggers?
Nice! Is there a part two to this video?
I've got more videos coming from Super Cat Fest, high speed action in multiple locations
kzhead.info/sun/rNGYoa6og56aea8/bejne.html
All those boats and so much power in such a small body of water. 😏
Pilots say..."If a little is good, MORE is better".
If that is prop driven what kind of massive reduction gear is in that thing? I think the ship I was on in the Navy was 300 (rough) to 1 from turbine to shaft.
There is no reduction box. There is a power turbine designed to spin at similar rpm as a normal V8, so about 6500 rpm. What ever reduction is there, is just the normal reduction in the drives. Your story does not add up. Usually ships that use gas generators as propulsion units, being it engines like the LM1500 or LM2500, don't need a reduction in that magnitude. Heck, even if you drove the prop straight off of the HP shaft which you NEVER do, that would be about 9000 rpm at full chuff. Normally a PT on an LM 1500 and LM2500 spin at about 3000 rpm or so, so in order for a big commercial or naval vessel to achieve useable prop speed at say 150-300 rpm depending on ship size etc. it would only need a 10:1 or 20:1 reduction. If it was a water jet propelled ship, then the PT shaft would go straight to the input shaft of the jet pump without a reduction.
Wow! What fuel is it using? I was thinking that marina's usually don't have Jet A in stock...
Probably diesel.
I would take the boat shown at the very end!
its bad enuf buying one engine much less 5 ,
The boat launch fee also includes a magnifying glass for your use
What sort of RMP's are we saying is produced ?
This is what I always thought a jet boat was for the longest time😂😂
