We'd get miles beyond any other Jet boats and have the Air Boat guys asked how did you get that thing up here... My favorite reply was "Ride it like you stole it!"
Quite scary when you took the wrong braid down river only to find a serious log jam or beaver dam and nowhere for a u-turn, ok hang on were going over it! I miss that type river running and my old Jet Boat.... Cool video for sure..

Exactly! People would be surprised how far a boat will slide over brush and gravel. Just yell, "by land or by sea!!!", and hope you didn't jam too many sticks and crap into the impeller grate.

Awesome video

Post by: cohoho on January 20, 2010, 07:32:08 PM: Ran a 2 inch tunnel but spent plenty of time cleaning out the grates: rocks, sticks to spawned out pinks salmon...yuck.... I rubbed my old one through the alum, it started leaking pretty bad, so in the winter we flipped it over, buddy welded the bare spots and then cut an alum tube and welded it over the indented tubes on the boat. It was then a river/gravel rock stud, till I put a four inch hole in it about 16 miles up river in the middle of nowhere... :bdid: I like that comment "by land or by sea"...lol

Any one know about running the Snake? Would love to go through the canyon, but as a follower the first time...

Post by: Huntbear on January 23, 2010, 04:48:28 PM: Would love to ride with someone doing that, but no way I would abuse my boat that way if I had one.
