No Hunting in this vid, but we did see Deer, Elk and Moose
I had an oportunity to take a Sprint Boat out for a ride while at Tuchodi (last week of June). All I can say is.......WOW, what a rush. I think I want one.
I made it through the river between the lakes in under 2 minutes, I believe I usually take about 7-8 minutes with my boat.
It was kinda funny, I just ran into this guy at the lake, and we started talking. I said something that made him recognize me from a jetboating forum. He offered to let me take his boat out for a ride.
First time I ever drove a boat from the left side (Weird)
First time I ever had to drive while practically sitting on the floor (hard to see)
First time I ever drove a boat with a foot throttle (very weird)

And to think we used to go in there in the hunting season in the late 60ies & 70ies by C185 and never see anyone in there except the guide, Ross Peck and his clients. Ross & his assistants didn't like seeing us in there. That area must get real busy now both summer & fall what with the boats that are available now and with more folks owning them. I haven't been back for many a year now.

There was, at least, 26 boats up there on that trip. The place is getting to be pretty popular.

I've been hearing alot of this lately, here and on other sites. Not sure what's going on, but I just clicked the link and it works for me.
Does it do this to you guys only on MY vids, or is it a problem with all vids?

Here is another way to get to it. This link will take you to ALL of my vids, the new one is at the top. Try going this route and see if it works for you.

Works fine for me. Great Vid. 147? not quite sure how the owner first took that when you showed him. Had to think about it a sec before he laughed

Yes, I think what happened was that the GPS lost it's Sat link for a moment, and that made it come up with an incorrect MAX SPEED.
The owner said it's max speed is about 120km/h, so when I showed him 147 it kinda shocked him for a second.
