It’s Fathers Day so I’m all over that!
Enjoying some wake surfing would sure get the attention of the lake patrol.
That’s freaking PBR Street Gang!

But from the MOA era.
I'm sure filling those diesel tanks would be super cheap nowadays. 
The PBR was a versatile boat with a fiberglass hull and water jet drive which enabled it to operate in shallow, weed-choked rivers. It drew only 2 feet (0.61 m) of water fully loaded. The drives could be pivoted to reverse direction, turn the boat in its own length, or come to a stop from full speed in a few boat lengths.
If I owned that boat I would put across the transom it’s new name

Price drop! Originally listed at $259,900 now only $245,000!
Would they be offended if I offered to trade a Savage .308 Hog Hunter for it?

Once you get on this boat, you will never want to get back off of it.
Bad pussycat...don't eat the villagers!

Those river boats are great in the river, lake and delta type areas.
Just don't take them out in the actual ocean, they don't do well.

Jermey Clarkson built a pretty good replica for a Grand Tour special, think it cost like 300k
Props = + 20mph easy. Way more efficient!
Edit: you do loose the ability to slip the ass end around via full power turn.
Those were built about 10 miles from my house, interesting thing is the transitioned that hull mold from PBR to civilian market, they were called Salty pups or salty dogs, I forget……. They were built like tanks and guys that had to cross river bars loved em….
Not sure who built Jezza's boat, but it was commissioned for about 100K pounds sterling at the time.
But I don't think it was a complete replica. Turrets were nonexistent and I don't recall if it used the correct propulsion system versus a more conventional one.
I know it definitely had a Jet drive w/ reverse. Can’t remember what the power plant was.
I bet the euros have all kinds of dumb rules about not being able to make fake turrets
Oh did it have the jet drive? I never actually saw the special, just the clips where the lads be their usual selves and Clarkson bumps into everything. Including Hammond's absolutely-not-a-personal-statement cigarette boat.
But possibly the lack of turrets was a cost-saving measure for practicality. No open bow turret, more room inside and less water to worry about needing to drain? Or some structural reason, depending on how it was made.
That's why I wasn't sure if it had the actual jet system or not. I thought maybe it was just a looks-like-a-PBR-on-the-outside kinda thing.
He was driving it through Vietnam so probably no fake gun turrets was a good idea.
The special is worth watching.
It had the correct type of jet drive as they tried to make it pretty much as close to exactly original as possible, minus the weapons. (no stupid fake armaments).
The challenges of getting each boat type around were interesting to watch and kind of explained why the locals still use the boats they do.
Them trying the river boats in the open sea was pretty funny.
I don't have Amazon or whatever, so no GT for me aside from clips etc on youtube, alas. But I'd love to be able to watch it. I saw they're putting Top Gear back on Netflix but I don't know if it'll be the lads or the newer presenters, and I'm really only interested in the mad trio.
GT, Jack Ryan, and Clarkson farm are worth getting it for a couple months.
The owners are shitheads. Look at whats laying on the deck like a used rubber.
I wish my condoms were that big…….The owners are shitheads. Look at whats laying on the deck like a used rubber.
Holy sh!t ! Did they eat it? Ive heard mountain lion is delicious.. idk about Bengal Tiger tho. I think Charlie Sheen drinks Tiger blood as well..?
My father-in-law's A-team somewhere in Vietnam. All I could get out of him was that it was eating the villagers and that they had to put a guard on it to keep the 'yards from stealing the whiskers...strong medicine.
Watch the end of the Grand Tour river boat special.
It's pretty funny.
Let's just say they weren't sure if their boats were going to stay on top of the water or not.
Not the most knowledgable on boats... but why does that happen? Are they too bouyant for bigger waves and get thrown around? Like does it have to do with so little of the boat going below the water line/sitting so high up in the water and is at the mercy of waves more due to that?
He's a desert dweller.
He ain't got no boat.
He don't need no boat.
He don't need no stinking boat.
Unless it's a U-boat.

They are low deadrise, low draft boats with semi surface drives. Good for shallow and calm and suck in deep water with any sea state. Yeah they are a boat and they will work in the ocean but unless it's flat calm you'll only be making deadrise hull speed without beating your teeth out.

We all know ”need” has nothing to do with it! I bet this thing could be a good tender for his U-boat.
