Pulling the cat out into the sunlight at the beginning shows what a piece of art those boats are and the views at the end 7:22 are awesome. Thank you so much you didn't pollute the video with any music. Cheers! 🍻

Nothing like a peaceful calm day on the water. I hope everyone else enjoys the incredible sound of my engines as much as I do.

That boat will be still in style in 30 years. Beautiful!!

I miss living in Lake Havasu, and this is just one of the many treasures you'll find there. Beautiful boat on a great lake.

Beautiful work of art thank you for sharing , appreciate the drag race towards the end that piston driven motor gave it hell Thanks for sharing

Unbelievable! Such an insane build! Simply amazing

I’m getting mad 80’s Miami vice Crockett and tubs vibes 😍

This guy definitely won the toy envy race. A super boat and matching helicopter? Unreal.

I built the original tunnel hull Kudu while working for Ron Jones back in the 70's. I am 77 now and so magic to see what you guys are doing today.

I'm not a boat guy but I am an engine and engineering guy and holy cow this thing is just insane. Love it and hearing it go is a privilege. Seeing the end of the video with what I believe is an ICE engine in comparison with it was just smashing. Church music the whole thing. My hat's off to the owner for having the muscle to get this done in all the ways they have. Just ace. :-)

Absolutely amazing!

Remarkably stable at those high speeds

I was a groomsman in the wedding of the daughter of one of the people involved in the reassembly of the London bridge that took place under the bridge on the one side back in 1980. Seeing that lake again brings back memories. What an amazing boat. How fast can it go on that smooth water?

Stunning boat.. I used to ski years back with a small boat with a Mercury 75 fitted, & that was quick enough! That rooster tail probably means skiing is out😄

Matching Helicopter... Still Watching Video... So Incredibly Smooth... Love Aerial Shots...

That's insane never took a ride on one it's got to be a trip you'll never forget 👍

What a great video. Very well done and thoroughly enjoyable.

Wow this boat sets the bench mark for all other boats 'what a machine and a helicopter to boot ,man this boat is off the Hook 😎👍👍👍

I live in havasu, I’ve seen sum crazy boats, but this one is on another level! Very awesome sir!

I was a UH-60 engine mechanic for 12 years. LOVE THIS BOAT!

Peter hleiden is a genius. His skater boats are incredible custom 1 off builds.

the cherry on top for me was the matching paint scheme helicopter. Awesome 👍

Amazing in every way. Especially the paint.

badass little tub you have there... awesome

Thanks for sharing your happiness and your ability to make a quality video of it. Hellfire man punch it.

Insane!

I'm not saying the jet engine boat isn't awesome but the sound of the ICE boat is EPIC!

One beautiful piece of work, congrats, enjoy!

Simply amazing - thank you

Boat with the big blocks was nasty!💪

Nice boat 👍🇺🇸 Thanks for sharing the video....👽

nothing like getting out on the lake for same peace and quiet tranquility and communing with nature.

What an amazing craft. Beautiful 🙌

Incredibly fast and beautiful 🤩

Beautiful Boat!

Wonderful video. Obviously professional filming. But the boats!! The sounds, of both, are magical.

That chase boat sounded bad ass on that WFO pass towards the end of the video.

Fantastic footage! Thanks for not having any music! The engines are "music" enough

Hello from Yorkshire in the UK. As a engineer and all round petrol head I think I may develop a taste for JET A1 🤙🏼😛 What a absolute work of art ! Awesome video too, I must say a did swear out loud at the end with the two boats side by side in the shot !! Super charged V8’s sound like a orchestra to my ears !

This was way more relaxing than I thought it would be. I could watch that boat do its thing all day

Amazing and crazy all at the same time.

This is a beautiful display of excess and amazing engineering.

Back in the sixties around Thanksgiving when I lived in Havasu the World Outboard Championship was the bomb.

That is a thing of absolute beauty!

That's a badass boat 3000hp I'm a gear head and I love going fast

WOW....awesome machine

Lake Havasu, we've got the fastest boats in the nation 💪 🇺🇲

hellfire, pressure makes diamonds, pure platinum ii, and the Lamborghini sv boat, all in another class.

Muskegon Michigan here. THAT THING IS BADASS 🙀

How did you get them to not destroy them lower units not being surface drives

So much for sight seeing, hold on little buddy. What a piece of workmanship.

Lived in Havasu for 5 years loved it.....

I've seen this before in Havasu and it's a Beast 😁 so Badass.

I am the real owner. Thankyou guys

The spool up at 1:15 was golden

Well we know what boat will be in the next Batman movie , a total bad ass ! Love the jet A turbines spooling up ! Nothing sounds as cool ! Thanks for post !

You know you have a Bad boat when the helicopter is following you. 👍😁

I could just keep watching this, beautiful. Lots of fuel no doubt. Enjoy!!

Best powerboat video ever! Damn, what a boat... "Houston, we have lift-off"

All with hearing protection, lovely day at the lake.

Goosebumps!!

Really great, appreciated thanks for sharing thrilling experience congratulations 👌👌👌

Outstanding!!!

Beautiful!

Your boat is so impressive.

Stunning craft !!!!

Absolutely awesome.

Awesome!! Very nice machine.

Takes me back to the ol times Al Copeland,George Morales..Miami fun..lol..sweet ride ye got here..not many left today from 60s up..my daddy use to build um..he built miss budwieser for years..k..take cares... Much love n respect 🙏

Hell yea man, grew up drag racing watching too fuelers and I spent almost every holiday weekend at the lake of the ozarks growing up I always loved these crazy fast boats. I remember when Qatar took there twin turbine 244mph at the ozarks. So cool y'all I love and respect the attention to detail and you can have riders so comfortable in padded race seats. Very very cool super boat sorry I'm not sure what you call something so show quality yet plenty of seats and such power. Maybe someday I can see one up close and get some pics.

Incredible!!

Wow thats awsem 👍🏻 cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 👌🏻🍺

These are works of art. I and male members of my family gravitate towards Drag boats, some of which have turbines but most have BIG turbo GMBB based engine designs. But these boats are like fine music solidified into metal and carbon fiber.....

I have never seen such an absolutely amazing and spectacular piece of marine engineering in my life!! Not only does the boat perform fantastic, it sounds and looks out of this world , l can't imagine the pride and joy the owner of this fabulous machine must feel operating such an absolute thing of beauty, I'm truly astounded by its beautiful lines! I hope you have many days of amazing pleasure from this wonderful craft. Happy boating!

Awesome skater. Would love to see it in person at loz.

Goes in straight lines very well...

Basically the same thing I do every weekend…with my RC boat and drone.

Amazing boat

Wow !!! Awesome !!!

Beautiful boat! But i sure do love the sound of those V8s !

Let's hear some stats. How fast? How many gallons of jet fuel per minute at cruise, etc.?

That’s so cool!

What's the top speed on it And awesome craft!

This is awesome

The absolute Mac Daddy since the beginning of time! Nobody is worthy.... NO BODY!!

What an absolutely beautifull boat ,I extremely fast ,she is magnificent !WOW!

Time to update my bucket list.

That's a wicked boat

Harry, I’m dropping the hammer!

WoW ! I did not think anyone would try to emulate the Skater twin turbine Howard Arneson did 25 years ago. Well done. He also invented the "Arneson surface drive" Much more efficiant way or propulsion IMHO. Arneson also set the speed record for the "Missippi river challenge" from New orleans to St Lois in river traffic and beat his transportation vehicle by 10-hourse (it left the night before) and that was in his original single turbine engine w/Arneson surface drive in a 35' cat

I grew up on boats, that thing is super sick! Wow, just, Wow!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️

Man I wish I had a lot of money to buy stuff like that 👍👍

How fast did it top out at?

where do you keep the bait?

How'd you managed to reroute the exhaust to behind the turbines

I was on a 46 skater 160 mp. That was back in 2006. It hard for people to understand how fast that feels on that water. Amazing how quickly speds are getting faster since the early 80s fast offshore in those days was in the 80s.

Beautiful

Can’t wait to win the powerball so I can order mine

beautiful trolling boat

So is this hull modified for lake use or still an offshore boat but just being used in a lake
