Jetboat piloting

@buckbuck Very nicely done! Is that the Fox River?
 
Great job!
 
Nice drone footage. I know jets are highly maneuverable but those were faster speeds around the fallen than I’d be comfortable with my wife driving around me while I’m in the water. Slowing it down a little more would also mitigate some of the “sloshing” and mini rollers when you come off throttle to turn around. I understand it’s not quite a power turn but slowing it down would leave the water a little cleaner for everyone else. Of course it may not be an issue on your waterways or lake. I need to get one of these drones. Overall good vid and very important about the rope! Love seeing boating footage from them!
 
@buckbuck Great Video. Excellent example of handling and maneuvering a jet boat. Also kudo's to the Rope Master making it look effortless, not having to stand up, staying in the cockpit, etc.

Thank you. Most was shot on the Fox River in northern IL. Some of the video is from Lake Shelbyville in central IL.
 
Cool footage ? I just subscribed to your channel. (I'll take any and follow backs ?)
