Awesome video, I love the view of him running the cavitation plates! I would hate that for my local river though, I would need a kidney belt and immediate trip to the chiropractor!

I have a flatbottom V-drive like this but mine is 2x4 tunnel ram and I am sure this one is a runner bottom so it tracks better than mine. love how you can hear the wirlaway ratcheting when the engine shut down. cant wait to get mine back together.

it's a breather. Alchohol is coming out. Its the second revenge K boat ever built by Bob Goettel.This boat won the nationals a few times. It then was sold to Bob Bode. (He races funnycars and used to race these things). Then scatlota got it and cut the capsule out of it.. Then I painted it and he sold it. It has a Joey Gross motor in it. I lost a few friends in these boats when they were racing. Most of the time it was cause the boat hit the guy.
