I have one of each a sanger mini  v drive and a 19' miller jet like both of them

My 18ft Kurtis, only had it 3 years. Required a lot of attention. I really like my old dependable Sleekcraft.

I will be looking for one at the start of 2014! Like jet boats in all but I am an old 4-speed/posi-trac muscle car guy that misses getting outta shape...I look forward to having pedals and sticks again! Jet Boats=kinda like driving an automatic.

I picked up a 1970 Sanger shovel nose hydro months ago with a two speed Linco hopefully I like it. It should be all together in summer 2015

my brother has a eliminator daytona v-drive nice riding boat. I had a couple of flattys but i would take the eliminator

I'm new to boats,2seasons now, and when everyone told me I had to have a jet, I bought a flatty! I love to hate it, it sucks in chop I'm usually sore for a day or 2 after an Elsinore trip, but I love it, my buddy's jets will run me down in chop, but not when it's smooth.. And my boats a turd for now, makin sum changes this winter.. Not sure I'll ever own a jet, unless it's a baddass jet boat! And I'm not sure I can afford that! I know they're out there tho! 

There's just something about stabbing the throttle,climbing into the override pedal, grabbing the lockout handle putting a shit load of rudder to it , to keep it goin straight, all while the casales singin right next to you!! love it! Probably the same reason I was out in the rain today driving very irresponsibly in my big block 4 speed posi street car!! Till my drivers side windshield wiper fell off! Lmfao

If it doesn't make your ass pucker,take your breath away and get your blood flowing it ain't worth driving!!!!!!

I'm new around here, but not new to V-drives, jets or any powerboats ..

I've driven a few, repaired a few, built a few, raced a few, and even owned a few .

I was surprised/happy to see any "V-drive content" around here .

Let me see if I can throw a photo up here .

THANK YOU !

Once 16 years old scared the shit out of me didn’t realize when you left of the gas the boat hooked a left on me.  Neighbors boat

Such a fun lesson to learn!!!  NOT!!  they don't do that as bad with a prop shaft release,  but holy shit having to prepare for that every time you get off the throttle sucks!!  Good way to get tossed out!!  Lmfao..  God I love flatties!!  😅😅😅😅 but really I do!! 

your friendly local v-drive owner

All the time.
