Finnegan And Newbern Make The World’s Biggest Rooster Tail With The Rogers Jet Boat!

Jet boat owners love a big rooster tail, because it looks cool not because it makes it go fast. With that said, there is an ideal angle for particular jet boat setups based on hull design, setback, etc. When in “race mode” a boat like this Rogers will want an angle of somewhere around 5 degrees up, but to get an ideal launch you want more water in the water. This is why race boats control the angle of the nozzle so that it can be in the ideal position for launch and then change to the ideal angle for high speed. But some folks use these to make a bigger rooster tail so they can look cool on the river. But not this big of a rooster tail. Cause this, this is something special. You know, like Newbern and Finnegan. This thing is a wheel standing, launch it out of the water machine now. It’s crazy.

They have stacked all the stuff that can make the nozzle aim higher, and taken off every single limiter. And now they have an insane angle that quite literally makes the biggest jet boat rooster tail in history. Oh and did I mention they tested it in a thunderstorm, on the lake, with the pouring rain and lightning all around them? Yeah, cause lightning doesn’t strike water….

Oh, and based on the level of giddy they have going on in this video, I’m expecting a second attempt for even bigger shenanigans.
