You guys got us up to #38 on trending last week! Let’s go for top 20 this time! So far this video is already out performing the last! Let’s go thank you guys so much for your support on this series! Every like, comment and share helps us get closer and closer to that goal!
Pssssssst...........Invite thee awesome Sam Pilgrim to your place, and make an episode. He's in Vancouver right now, for a month. Act quick. You guys can find a lot of each others subscribers. You're both at the same level, on RUclips. Sam's a really great guy, and he won't be afraid to ride ANY of your machines.
Great job on the mini-jetboat and on everything you guys do. Weird question, in the video there is a beautiful shot of the wind blowing through the trees on the property with the tree house. My question is what is it like up in the treehouse in wind like that? It must be moving around a bunch. It would be wicked cool if you got a shot from the treehouse in the wind. Keep up the Awesomeness and Cheers! \m/,
I kind of quit watching your videos for a while after like last year or the year before that when you guys went on the Overland trip and your third person can't remember his name started destroying everybody's Vehicles out in the middle of nowhere. I mean how disrespectful is that even though somebody says yeah jump on it give it hell oh, you are still in the middle of nowhere with no way to repair any of the damages that your third person would have done. And yet he still decided to get on there and tear up if I remember right to people's equipment that wasn't even his own. So I have been checking in on your videos because I like your content and notice you have a new guy. Hopefully this new guy is not as disrespectful to other people's property as your last guy was. Hopefully I'm not going crazy and talking crap and it's still the same guy LOL but I'm pretty sure just putting a mustache on the old guy would not make him a different person hahahahaha. So as long as content keeps going towards the creation side and not towards destroying other people's property in the middle of nowhere I am all!
This channel and their builds perfectly represents every person who has either attempted to build, dreamed of building or successfully built “useless” toys that do nothing other than bring joy to their owners and those who appreciate the craftsmanship and creativity! It’s so relatable to folks who when building something, people say to them “what’s the point?” Or “is that really necessary to have?”…. Then they see the finished product and scream…. I FREAKING WANT ONE!!!!
This is the most fun I’ve had on the water in a long time! Do you think the drone survived? We’re going to test it in the next video after it sits in rice for a week!
It seems like the trim level is pointing the nose up a little too high-- so it's constantly wanting put "pop a wheelie" and jump out of the water when you try to go fast. I'm not sure if that's adjustable or not on this thing.
Bro, order a vtx and maybe even a camera. The water shorts vtxs out instantly and water marks on your sensor are a pain to clean off. Idk if your running digital or analog, but I'm only speaking from analog xp. So many tiny whoops and micros lost to neighborhood pools and things.
Thank you guys so much for this opportunity! Such a pleasure to work with y’all! Can’t wait till the next one 😉 also the most fun I’ve had in a long time!!!!
A tip for when your drone ends up under water, unplug it before you take it out of the water. It greatly increases the chance of the components not burning out.
This is an amazing build to watch but word of advice, waverunners suck up around a 3x3 area in the water and do not take kindly to shallow waters so it is suggested that you push it out farther before starting. Love the videos though and I look forward to the next project!!
@@the_retag I understand that but I was mentioning how they started it in like a foot of water and then immediately sucked up some rocks. I was just trying to give a little advice even though they probably don’t need it
yall gotta get with Cleetus and Kyle for collab on mini/micro jet boats i think the world would think its epic. love all you boys do thank you from the bottom of my heart.
This thing turned out pretty rad man! One thing I see when you get on the throttle the bow bounces because the pump coming out of water. I used to work Chris Hagest the designer and manufacturer of the ProForce hull, one thing I learned from him to counter that nose bounce it to extend the ride plate, the purple plate you reinforced, it essentially give the boat extra length to balance and plane on. Awesome work on the intake grate and pump stuffer, making that intake as smooth as possible! Awesome build man
skeptical such a short hull is going to be able to not do that no matter what. can you improve it? sure. still will do that unless they change it to a prop and get some more air under it.
I Love how all the boys get a go at thrashing the new ride! It stood the test of the whole team. Amazing that they got the hull and weight distribution so good on the first go, it planes really well.
This thing SHREDS!! I am wondering what the plan is for the windshields-lexan or plexiglass? I am also thinking if you create a secondary lip around the edge of the cockpit area and back of the boat it won’t get swamped as often. Solid work fellas, this looks like a lot of fun 🤙
Look up 'self bailing drain' for sailboats. In short, no moving parts, it will empty that boat in less than a minute if it were full. You'd be amazed at how fast they work (way faster than bailing with a bucket), and that's in a 'slow' sailboat. Install a couple and you'll never have to think of draining it again. Make sure you get the type with a good seal (some are not so great).
What a build! I'm amazed by the skill that goes into this. I saw you blasting on the water but without a seatbelt and a sturdy aluminum bar right at face level when you lean forward I think it's a good idea to wear a helmet that covers those pearly whites. Keep up the good work!
17 tears ago I went through ( cleaned and refurbished) 2 jet boats that were each 6 foot long, for a friend, they ran Kawasaki jet ski drives that were hot rodded while 850 cc cylinders etc. What fun
Yoo this thing is craaaazy! Got to be one of the coolest builds, I can't get over how small it is and how much uumph its got, and it's so nimble! That looks like such a blast to ride around in! Killer work!
I couldn't get that smile off my face while watching this video. As a blacksmith, I must say you're pretty good at welding aluminum. Everyone that has ever tried to TIG weld that stuff knows it can be a PITA to get right.
You guys rock thank you so much for all your hard work it is really impressive how far you've come since the mustang build hoping to see a lot more of your content a boat trailer would be sick
This is definitely one of my favorite builds. But I'm calling it now, in maybe one or two more videos, someone is gonna stuff it and bounce their face off of that windshield frame lol. Having to wear a helmet out on the water would suck, so y'all might wanna consider some padding there or something.
Came here to say this. It's just a jet ski with an automatic tooth remover. I just feel like it's way more dangerous than a jet ski because you can't bail off of it.
Awesome video! Y'all pressed your luck on potentially flipping or sinking. Maybe get the bilge pump going good and adding some foam. Make less likely to sink. That was unreal how tight it can turn. Looks like a lot of fun. Maybe add a pink stripe but leave it aluminum and don't paint it. Looks too cool the way it is.
I love that it's double skinned for extra buoyancy and that even with a full bilge, it supports 3 people, and the motor / electrics didn't fail after being soaked. What a great machine, well done guys.
This thing is rad! Sealing around the engine cover might help keep some of the splash out of the engine bay. I’d also recommend some foam around the top of the windshield - one good wave and someone is getting a visit from the tooth fairy for sure.
cant be too sealed motors gotta breathe! perhaps copying or getting a 750sx snorkel/intake to put up on the bow would be wise. then you can seal it all you want, and the faster it goes the more air it gets if its done right.
Imagine how fun it be if all of you had one racing around exploring. Amazing build bro you stun me with how smart you are don’t know how you learned to do the things you do.
I had this dream years ago, when I was working at a boat shop restoring Chris Crafts…thank you.😃 Or was it when I rode in that boat for a nickel outside some K-Mart or Walgreens store back in the 70’s…either way that is awesome. You guys are incredible…keep it up.
AWESOME! I have been so looking forward to this day! Crazy maneuverability in that little guy! Seems pretty quick too! Guessing the rock situation might have taken a little power out of it. With new impeller and wear ring, watch out!
Dudes, this is so much the water equivalent of every ridiculous power wheels you've ever built, and y'all got it ripping on the first try! I just love seeing the learning curve of everyone who drove it throughout the session. Everyone was sending it SO HARD towards the end. But I guess if you have nothing to crash into, it's gonna be fuller than full send!
If you put a curl on the boat you will get wet a lot less. Like modern sea/wave barriers, they got a curl that sends back the energy and the wave. Maybe if you look it up you will find an example
Brilliant looks like a absoult blast! Like you said before really enjoy how you guys keep it real! I also have to get that plasma cutter unit that's impressive! Simple but yet so efficient
Wow really nailed it on this one I love that little rocket that thing shits and gets. Install a set of trim tabs help plant the bow keep it from porpisin. love to see what that little hurricane will do wide open throttle. Anybody want to take guesses on speed?
This looks like so much fun! I really love you’re guys content! It’s so entertaining to see something amazing being built and see that it works so good. It real motivated me to also do things with my hands❤️❤️❤️
You may be able to fix its bunny hopping by putting long trim tabs on. Though because of poor design it may make the bow dig in making it dangerous in turns.
if you kept the trim at 0 instead of trimmed down or up, it would still bunny hop a little, but I think the force applied to the water by longer trim tabs would cancel out that forward weight change, preventing the bow from digging. Another way to prevent the bunny hopping could be better throttle control, by hardware or by the driver. I think rapidly accelerating creates too drastic of a weight change, so the boat wants to rock back forward. Slower accelerating makes the weight transfer more smooth. ANOTHER another way would be to extend the back of the boat and have the engine in the middle instead of the rear. On a prop boat, this might create resistance, as you'd have to apply more torque to get the propeller spinning, but this wouldn't be as big of an issue in a jet boat. Or maybe it would be, I don't know much about jet boats honestly.
@@ForzaMonkey another way they could just like duct tape the boat engine to their heads then flop around in the sand like a fish that would make the boat perfect
Awesome job guys!!! One thing is the pump seems to have a lot cavitation. Did y’all seal the pump and pump shoe to the hull?? The pump can suck air from around itself and the hull, if not properly sealed. Keep up the awesome content guys!!!
Never seen your channel before. Sub'd!!!! Fricken LOVE your craft man. You do it like I do. I've built some rock crawlers mixing parts here and there. Like a Samurai transfer case custom mounts and shafts to a 3 speed automatic transmission in a Chevy Tracker 4 door. Jeep wrangler leaf springs after cutting out the IFS and rear coils. Welded in new spring hangers and shackle mounts, got the Camber angle correct for death wobble avoidance. Chevy Astro van power steering pump, Toyota Tacoma steering gearbox. Made my own brackets for those. Fish plated the critical areas with tube between the frame rails so you don't crush the frame when tightening the through bolts. etc. etc. etc. LOL So much shit. Oh,, a custom tranny mount that allowed for the front drive shaft. Man!!!!! It ALL worked out perfectly the first try!!!!!! Good eyeball engineering is an art!!!!!! I LOVE This stuff!!!!!!!!
Quite awkward! I'm from NZ and we used to have a tall motorbike racer here called Roger Freeth - his nickname was "Superfrog" as his legs stuck out like frog's legs from his bike when he was racing! Unfortunately, he was killed in an accident quite a few years ago now.
My hats off to you guys, great work that boat performs so well! I was wondering what you had for a bilge pump, I'm sure you will figure that out no sweat. What a BLAST and I like that everyone got a turn ripping it! Hope the drone is ok...
Back in the day i put a scoop grate like that one on my 750SX i twin carb. It was a Ocean Pro 《ocean 》 version of Ocean pros scoop grates. It definitely kept you hooked up in choppy water.
Sounds like it's still cavitating.. once you guys iron that part out completely this thing is going to be even more insane! Hella good job, I've been following the build.. Lotta fun you guys are having. May even start a new industry.. Micro Jets!
Thing is mental! Great build, I'm wondering what can be done to keep it from bouncing when you try to open it up in a straight line? maybe some kinda wings on the side? I bet if you talk to ole Cleetus and his jet boat buddies they'd have some ideas. I'd be itching to see how fast it can go wide open in a straight line.
This is absolutely amazing and hilarious I've been watching the build for a long time. What I didn't expect was the performance the insanely sharp turns at high RPM and most importantly the fun factor! This is no four-wheel drive Barbie cart! My only advice to you is to patent and trademark everything you freaking can! Now.
Hell yeah what a awesome day of fun that would have been for all you guys also loved when Ryan jumped in and did that wicked side slide into wards you all I thought he was going to roll it for sure
as soon as it gets going it's just hopping, you want the fuel right up the front to keep the end down and a heavy chain in there too and a huge ass whale tail fin underwater at the back. Then it'll push like a muddas
The kiwis have been running these for years on gravel rivers in only inches of water, their stuff is all over RUclips with builds and tricks to run shallow water. Some great river runs are there for great viewing.

maybe put in silica gel, because it can take way more water from the air than rice.
hope you´ll get it working
Yeah I wouldn't use rice. Get a bunch of silica packets and put it in a sealed container with them
this is the best add on the planet, i dont think I've wanted something more.

I knew someone else would mention it... get the boosted boys to put a little turbo on it :D
We need a giraffe in this jet boat pronto! Hell Yeah Brother!
100%
Don't forget Vasily Builds is making one with a turbo Hayabusa engine.
That is absolutely EPIC 🤣
Make a trailer and have one of the power wheels tow it. That would be awesome!!

Also with my experience with stand up skis, top loader grates loooove to porpoise on flat water. They kinda suck in anything but super chop or surf
It rides like a bucking bronco!!!😳 Is that "ride plate" V-shaped or flat??? 🤔
@@fookingsog they are flat. Sometime they have little skegs that come down to improve traction when cornering
skeptical such a short hull is going to be able to not do that no matter what. can you improve it? sure. still will do that unless they change it to a prop and get some more air under it.
@@ct1762 getting air under it would make it Cavitate even worse

@@gaius_enceladus that was such an entertaining story until you mentioned he died
@@gaius_enceladus Same here, I mean not that I´m dead, but my legs stick out while driving my moped, it isn´t funny!🤥
this is the best boat i have ever seen 👍
Never unsatisfied watching GHPC 💯💪
The work you guys do is amazing ! I’d like so see some of them dirt bikes hiding in the back come out 💯
My hats off to you guys, great work that boat performs so well! I was wondering what you had for a bilge pump, I'm sure you will figure that out no sweat. What a BLAST and I like that everyone got a turn ripping it! Hope the drone is ok...
What kind of engine did you use to get 100hp out of 200 lbs?
Twin Carb 750 out of what looks to be an early to mid 90's Kawasaki Jet Ski ZXI 750
Back in the day i put a scoop grate like that one on my 750SX i twin carb. It was a Ocean Pro 《ocean 》 version of Ocean pros scoop grates. It definitely kept you hooked up in choppy water.
Sounds like it's still cavitating.. once you guys iron that part out completely this thing is going to be even more insane! Hella good job, I've been following the build.. Lotta fun you guys are having. May even start a new industry.. Micro Jets!
Thing is mental! Great build, I'm wondering what can be done to keep it from bouncing when you try to open it up in a straight line? maybe some kinda wings on the side? I bet if you talk to ole Cleetus and his jet boat buddies they'd have some ideas. I'd be itching to see how fast it can go wide open in a straight line.
Trim tab, standard boat tech.
Gives a bit of reverse rocker and will suck that little fella to the water.
Nothing beats Black Rifle Coffee Company! Military grade coffee!
lowkey shpuld remove the fake windhsield, weight reduction and safer so you dont smash your face off of it
Why say something stupid like low-key? It just sounds dumb as fuck
Whenever y’all start production I’ll preorder mines💯💯🔥🔥🔥
This is absolutely amazing and hilarious I've been watching the build for a long time.
What I didn't expect was the performance the insanely sharp turns at high RPM and most importantly the fun factor! This is no four-wheel drive Barbie cart!
My only advice to you is to patent and trademark everything you freaking can! Now.
This needs to be mass produced! Everyone should own one of these. Minor kings to work out yet, but that's a fantastic prototype!
Awesome boat! Geico’s gotta make a commercial with the lizard 🦎 in this thing! Great machining and welding work!
Hell yeah what a awesome day of fun that would have been for all you guys also loved when Ryan jumped in and did that wicked side slide into wards you all I thought he was going to roll it for sure
It's super fun to see that small boat jet ❣️❣️❣️❣️
You've succeeded in making the most cavitating craft in all the land
You guys should make a mini boat trailer and tow it with the barbie camper👍
I love how simplistic he makes the language. This is awesome stuff.
That boat would be good for family outings!
That is the snappiest little boat I’ve ever seen pretty cool
Imagine just taking the fishing boat with that little beast on it out to the ocean
Great build! The drone was on the bottom.... HELP ME! Thanks GHPC! This was fantastic.
Gotta love grind hard premium quality in every build! 💯
I think one of the coolest part of having this would be launching it off a trailer behind a Toyota Aygo.
as soon as it gets going it's just hopping, you want the fuel right up the front to keep the end down and a heavy chain in there too and a huge ass whale tail fin underwater at the back. Then it'll push like a muddas
Nice boat I really like how you made it without a plan and just came at this project with confidence and skill💀
The kiwis have been running these for years on gravel rivers in only inches of water, their stuff is all over RUclips with builds and tricks to run shallow water. Some great river runs are there for great viewing.
That boat is freaking awesome!!! I could see it used in a James Bond movie.
Any chance of putting a couple aero-foils on it?
Ported & Polished 100% Mo BettA!!!
So nice of Comb a Tear for the sponsorship
