GoPro Jetboat sinks again! 

one of the coolest jet boat videos on youtube

If I sunk a boat I wish I could call a guy with a helicopter

Best jet boat video I've seen in a while

Helicopter Pilot: "Note to self; use at least two strands of paracord next time I haul a jet boat. p.s. make sure it's military spec."

Now thats called living the dream!

A befitting end. Glad to see the boat sunk, and glad to also see the operator and his guest surviving with no issues. Karma, dudes.

It is a fantastic project and very nice congratulations. regards

This is like the rubicon of rafting

Hilarious... brilliant guys... pain in the arse to ruin what looked to be an epic day... Oh to be young again - and as for the GoPro... I also love them...

OMG, great video. I wish I could use one of those boats where I live, be safe.

You are not having fun until they call 911

How about using Kevlar to make the hull & jet nozzle & steering cables. My steering cable broke in a very heavy surf line 12ft continuous sets. I got pounded trying to save my jet ski but eventually made it back to the harbor.

is that a 10 ft or 11ft cope hull design??

What is it with Kiwis and their jetboats and choppers. Has everybody got em?

price for the heli ? :O

Hit a rock, and the guy in the yellow is a rocket

Meu Deus é muito lindo este barquinho queria tanto um deve pra mim muito lindo

BAHAHAH Fantastic!! Fun to watch. I have to have a Hughes 500 on call next time ;):)

Hold ma beer!

yeah thanks

You guys know how to have fun! Super jealous haha, in the states we have AAA you guys have AAA air ! Someday coming over there to hang out with those bastards, my kind of friends!

How does it float with those 2 ton titanium balls in it?

I have a 1 of 4 ever built (mines the last know still around) Biesemeyer 27 ft day cruiser here in California, if it sank (once I was done crying) I’d be calling the insurance Company. Estimate value of mine is $65000. USD....Then I’d start crying again!! 😭😢.

How much HP does this boat have if it can do this?

expensive to charter the helicopter to pick up your boat?!

are those boats steel or aluminum?

up tauherwatsitsname creek without a paddle?

You need a bilge pump. Very big pump

Awe. Matching undies...how nice

Как все просто) Утопил, вертушка прилетела забрала)

Remind me not to go white water with you

That is not what i call good boatsmanship

how tf do get a helicopter to save the boat. Must be cheap in New Zealand

Never would have happened if you used a Sony Action Cam

Why are we watching this in 2019???

Jesus boys, what's your helicopter bill on these trips? Goat never had this problem :p

No helmets? Not even white water helmets... would make for a great upgrade for the next attempts!

GoPro... getting people to do really stupid stuff to get you tube footage.

Tauherenikau River in New Zealand

you should include the recovery option in the design of the boat in case something happens

Put a set of oarlocks on that thing and stow some oars in it.

yall need a winch

How much would it cost to get a helicopter to lift your boat out ike that?

Only dead fish swim with the current.

"to da choppa!"

Those look like Class 3, maybe even class 4 rapids! As for nozzle breakage, have you thought of extending the jet unit tunnel so that the entire jet unit is shrouded? That would protect the thin cast aluminum nozzle from rock strikes and breakage.

That snapping rope was potentially NASTY boys ! Kiwis - INVINCIBLE in System D Merde! Respect!

Ummm, you know you can buy a Come-Along winch for probably about 5 % of what it costs that helicopter to pull your boat out once, right? And you can use it again and again and again.

I was tripping out I thought the boat was flying. Ahahah I was so confused

You know it's expensive when you get a tow from a chopper.

Let's use minimal twine to pickup an entire boat filled with 20,000lbs of water. That we we can create a secondary video called "smashing an all aluminum boat onto rocks", and even a third video "DIY: Repairing an all aluminum boat that was severely damaged from being dropped by a helicopter".

I only clicked on video cause it was 4:20 long

I like you man, but you are crazy man.

They’re so fucking lucky that line didn’t snap upwards into the propeller blade. And also that the pilot stuck around after that near death incident. Rule number one is don’t let the line break loose cuz any obstruction in those blades is gonna throw off the gyro effect of the helicopter

expensive recovery effort !

You could learn the methods and techniques of white water before bringing fuels and oils into a otherwise, clean river. Least when that happens in a rubber boat, there's no sludge.

the boating equivalent of 4x4 offroading.

that's it. I'm building one. what's in it? 1300?

Bravo Thomas, d'avoir le courage de poste la vidéo même si la situation est difficile …. :- )

I am confused...how do you steer down river in a tricky section since there is no steering on jet boats unless under lots of power? Just say the hell with it and give lots of power?

Se fosse o helicóptero!

how the fuck do you guys just have helo's around for rando shit like that. fucking awesome.

3:26 Bro! we need to strip down naked and cuddle to stay warm

Rich kids/corporate wonks with stupid toys. Whats the carbon footprint of this idiotic scenario?

Holy shit, I kayaked the T a few times back in the day.. I never thought I'd see a jetboat up that far. Love your work. You may want to look into a Swiftwater Rescue Technician course - A well placed Z-drag might have saved you a swim home.

Why aren't those guys wearing helmets when they are fighting the rapids like that?

You are about as smart as the sticks you tried paddling the boat with...

I wonder how can I make it so it won't sink... I know. I'll buy a jet ski.

The dude in the yellow vest it straight bat shit crazy!!!! lol looks fun as hell!!

Wow how much did that tow cost ? SEA TOW ?

Perahu kebalik narik pake helicopter anjay horang kaya:v

up da creek with out a paddle

Sorry I just have to grab a brain. Oh wait there’s a chopper

Who else watching this in 2020 during quarantine?

That is as good as it gets. I love the snorkel running into the covered bow, great idea. You guys are conquering some seious water

Sure,let me just get my chopper on it. No problem.

hey Thomas im interested in getting one how much r u looking at and what engine to run

Looks like he got sick of that engines intake taking in water.

Freakin' HATE IT when that happens. Time to dry 'er out again. Good thing AAA heli was available.

Maybe you need to pack a bit of polystyrene in there?

only in AOTEAROA

Anda menggunakan Mesin berkecepatan berapa cc .

Why aren't these (very cool) boats decked, like a white water dory? Then they couldn't fill up with water. The deck could lever-clamp down onto a 2" inch (5cm?) thick foam gasket.

Farkin dangerous for the chopper having stretchy rope break like that!!!!!! Cost a mate 125K to have rotors replaced when the climbing rope he was using broke and flicked up and back, hitting the tail rotor. Hit the deck hard too.

The aluminum isnt going cut it . And welds make it even worse. You need to overlap the bottom with a special spray paint made to with stand bomb explosions. And coat it like 20x

ok, this answers my long wondered question... do some trips not go as planned?

And why the fuck did you want a rip in the river

1Kph bilge pump and a lithium battery would have gave them a bit of time to get that thing around before it totally swamped! Maybe even bigger bilge but lithiums can handle it for a short time like they needed! You gotta be tough if you are going to be dumb though, hard hats, paddles and a bit more safety attitude would go far, way to close to those rocks at speed, and the chance of head injury is a distant place just warrants it, if that is your buddy get him a bucket!

That was awesome, would love to get one of them jet boats but, alast what little time I do have I spend with my drones and planes.

Frequent flyer miles on this boat

coolest vid on u tube mean we boat what river is that

I was like. Wow that boat just flipped go get it o shit those must be some crazy waters, oh crap what's going ghb on... oh it's a helicopter lol.

When I watched the first video I was thinking to myself, Id put some foam in there... but I dont have a helicopter. Less dents in the bottom than I wouldve thought. Sweet boat man!

When you walk a jetboat down the river make sure you always face the boat upriver I know I've taken my boat for a walk .

That song never gets old!

Was there a reason for sinking the boat?

You should install a hidden winch on it during the initial build phase in the bow..tie it off on the trees and winch it out next time (way easier than tha choppa...not quite as cool though)

2:50 this is the moment when he f up

I can made boat following the way .problem is end of it.have no money to paid for helicopter

Epic Hughes hover!
