I think the video was taken Friday when I rode with another guy, so my
boat is not in it.

220Mbyte so save if not on a fast connection.

Nice vid. I really like all that metal.
Looked like a sweet come-along too, but I didn't quite get its
purpose.
Saw one boat without a kicker.
You have a kicker on yours?

they were straightening a pump guard bar. The bald guy is tom Maxfield,
builder of Precision Weld boats. That blue boat is an 8.1.L powered boat
and cost about $100k. The boat I rode in was a 25' Yanmar diesel jet.
About $130k. My 21' would sell new now for about 70k. Yes i have a kicker.
Lots of the guys troll for fish and the jet is not the best for trolling.

Great video Bill!

Where was shot along the rogue? I can see why those air-ride seats are
kinda important.

one thing though... am I missing something... what was the reason for the
shot of the commode?

Dennis

is that a glass of scotch on the potty?

Don't know if it is scotch, but most likely contains alcohol.

Lower Rogue. Ran from about 10 miles above Gold Beach to about Blossom Bar.
Which is about 50 miles up river. The toilet was at the Dinner and there
was a womens john and then the mens john that made sure the seat was up.

Mrs. G and I took the run to Blossom Bar last summer in one of Jerry's Jets.
It was a great run and I got some good photos of the wildlife along the way
(eagles, osprey, otters and deer). Your video contained many familiar
sights.

Our boat was a 40 footer powered by three Chevy 496 V8's The skipper
firewalled the throttles on the way back to Gold Beach and I clocked him at
52 mph with the portable GPS I was carrying. The current was probably good
for maybe 5 mph of the 52 at that part of the river.

I have taken the same Jerry's jetboat trip. Highly recommend it. Book on
line and you save a couple bucks. Was snowing maybe 300' higher than us,
and we only saw bird life, no otters, deer or bear this time of year. They
run Berkeley style pumps and that gives a higher speed than the Hamilton /
Kodiak pumps most of us run. the Low Pressure Hamilton's hook up better in
white water. Maxfield and anouther boater hired one of the guide boat
drivers for training, and some still hit. One of the tour boats sunk a
couple years ago. Probably hit a rock and sliced the bottom. No one wet or
hurt.
