- Kayaking is supposed to be a calm and peaceful retreat. Not today!
Super complicated, over priced, inefficient and obnoxiously loud. Those are just a few reasons why this may not be the best idea. This kayak made by Pelican (Catch PWR 100) is ready for a motor to get clamped onto it right from the factory but I might have misinterpreted that concept. Anyone looking for a motorized kayak would fair better with an electric trolling motor on this vessel. See more by clicking this link...

Honestly when you think about how small the engine is I’m impressed! Now you gotta strap 2 of them bad boys to it!!!!
Two is great, three is even better.
@@jimmyorchid941 I was thinking 4. total of 180 pounds thrust should be close to the weight of the kayak Marty and the extras on board.
Lot more drag in a kayak than an rc jet though.
Yes but have them closer and aim the exhaust towards the water for more force
Or 8....?
Hey man even if it isn't fast , it's still the first jet propelled kayak I have ever seen! Props to you Zoffinger I always enjoy your creative projects!
You are the master of insane kayak projects, way to go Marty.
I was literally thinking the same thing. 🤣😂
Same here tho too hahahahaha
Doesn’t matter how slow or unpractical it is. You built something very unique!
Imo that’s badass!
I’m sure everyone is gonna be asking about it wherever you go.
Keep it up!
Agreed
Eff that noise man. I'd rather use the paddles
Mount that on a hydrofoil surfboard and you've got a rocket.
Where’s the fuel go?
@@biguprochester You mean like diesel, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, hydrazine, thermaline, something flammable?? Yikes! Now you have to wear a fireproof suit when you go surfing. Good way to drown yourself!! You could fill part of the surfboard with fuel or wear it on a backpack=insane!! Way too dangerous!! Unless our "secret space program", AKA Space Force, gives us a power supply that taps into the radiant "Tesla" energy, thus no need to carry fuel. Tesla's system was invented in 1898. But then we would have antigravity as well. With further thinking, the concept is preposterous. Cheers! I'm just happy to be here with the power and heat on.
@@kennethm.pricejr.8921 you’re babbling
@@biguprochester Yep, yep, yep. Nobody's attacking me today.
It would be better on a paddle board
Remember the three motor Bass Raider? I think that needs to happen on this yak!
Thank You for Dropping This on Us, Zoffers! it may seem Anti-Climatic to some, but this is what Research & Development is all about. The Zoffer should never leave port (home) without his Jet-Yak...who else has one? Merry Christmas, y’all. This is a Cool Community & I’m proud to be a part of it.
Ditto..yet..I heard...WHATS UP MAV..?
I’ve been waiting for this! Merry Christmas!
When you lit that thing, I heard the theme song from the movie Top Gun 👊😎
Iron man
"It is not the most practical thing in the world". I believe those are the same words Wilbur said to Orville after he landed for the first time. ;)
Breaking News:
Florida man blows himself and kayak up by strapping a jet engine to it.
If anyone is gunna be that head line it’s Marty for sure 🤣
...and wearing no CG approved safety vest!
😂😂😂
cleetus almost did it with an el camino but he said it was too dangerous and dropped the project
Thoroughly enjoyed your progress through this. The man who never made a mistake never made anything. Well done.
Loved watching this very impractical powering of a kayak :D
Keep up the awesome work you do..your a master at it,you are one smart man
"It's junk!"
"Always with the negative waves, Moriarty!"
Awesome! Been watching the build and waiting for test run. Twin engines would look sweet! Keep it up love the channel.
You know dude. I’ve been watching you for a few years now. Always had your fishing videos on when my friends and I were around the pool table. I’ve seen all of your kayak builds. I’ve always been satisfied. But this, good sir... this is gold ! Keep it up. Looking forward to your trip coming up
Only in Florida!
Who cares how fast it goes, the fun factor is off the scale!
When you switched hats I thought to myself, please have aviation goggles too. When you pulled them out I think we all won a little bit! This video was a victory before you even engaged the launch sequence.
OMG! Another Kelly’s Heros fan! 😂 Love that movie!
marty thank you for putting a giant smile on my face. watching you take off was hilarious and awesome!
Point it more to the water to generate more lift on the back
That would just push the nose down creating more drag.
Madd Marty! Used to hang out at Shell Point Marina 20 years ago. Had a lot of fun and caught alot of fish. Had a 17 ft. Carolina Skiff C/C. Know all the areas you go. Great place to live. Hang in there. You belong there. God bless! Be Safe and Healthy.
A 10 HP gas engine with a 42" prop will get you going over 30 mph. I built a Rocky Mountain Airboat back in the 80's and used it to cruise the Delaware River even through the rapids up 10 miles and down 10 miles from where I lived. A jet does nothing for you at these low speeds but drink fuel. I used to cruise down river to my Dad's place 5 miles south of me and then cruise back home on less than 1/2 gallon of gas. My measured thrust of that set-up was 50 pounds of thrust. It would move my little boat on wet grass. The turbine's exhaust speeds only come into play when the craft reaches the wind speed generated by the prop minus the drag. So, for example, in an airplane with such and such HP and a certain pitch prop it can only go X speed as that is the speed of the wind coming off the prop minus the drag. A turbine's exhaust speed is many times faster so, if it has the thrust to move the aircraft it can eventually get it to go much faster than any prop could. I give you an A+ for inventiveness and ingenuity though.
Practical? Where's the fun in that? I was waiting to hear the song "Danger Zone" in the background!
This is one of the loudest videos ever
I thought you were going to have a serious accident with that thing so I am relieved to see it doesn't actually go too fast!
What an awesome and creative project.
Lots of luck on your trip, your a talented nomadic soul, your not trapped in business. Looking forward to your new adventures.
.
WHAT ? I CAN'T HEAR YOU. Merry Christmas Marty !
This guy needs a girl friend to spend his money on !
I hope this is sarcasm
That would be a real waste of money.
No, that's been done, and the results well documented. This is way more fresh and exciting to follow.
I wish you were my neighbor. I would rather listen to that beautiful jet and see the awesome things you create, than listen to my neighbors barking dogs.
True, an electric trolling motor would be more efficient,and sensible . But your jet build and videos are so you, and cool. Have a great trip Marty, and thanks for sharing.
Merry christmas and good luck on the great loop
One of my husband's and my favorite channels on youtube. Keep it up!👍👍👍
Well, I can't say the performance was all that impressive but your visions and ingenuity always deliver, what a fun project, have a great trip Marty...
This is what they should be giving out the Nobel Prize for!!! Good on you, Marty. Rain check for at least two shots in Boston.
It might benefit from tilting up 10 degrees but I'm not an engineer. I appreciate you sharing your skills knowledge and experience
Mountains are made one step at a time....keep up the great work .....will lead to wonderful inventions.....think outside the box
You know you had fun man designing it, building it testing it getting it ready tying up loose ends hell I bet you that was a lot of fun to build
I don't know about anyone else but this guy is a genius. Wait till I build one for my pirouge. Won't have to pole da pirouge down the bayou no meaux.
I love how you used the Iron Man soundtrack during the test.
This is seriously awesome Marty. I wish I could have come supported your kayak business in Tampa, but look forward to the great loop thing you are doing. Thank you for so many years of great content! you were the original youtube kayak fisherman and are responsible for my kayak fishing obsession. Just wanted to know you are loved and I see you!
Thanks for giving it a shot. You never know until you try.
Add 2 small hydrofoil. One front and back. And the speed increase will be dramatic. Awesome ingenuity can't wait to see where you take it. Liked and Subscribed
This just in Florida man catches mangroves on fire with jet powered kayak. Lol I like your video reviews and tinkering
I honestly didn't think it would move much with such a small motor. Now you need to make a "jet power 4000" with 4 of those jet engines on it.
Hahaha damn !!! Super cool dude !!! Didn't think that tiny turbine could do that but definitely impressed!!!
I just saw you on 15 most dangerous trees you should never touch on RUclips posted by the genius lemon. 1.6 million views. Look it up. Very surprised when I saw you on a kayak in the mangroves. As a long time viewer I immediately recognized you. Crazy.
Good Work Marty, I have a PA14 with a 5hp Outboard on it, a custom aluminium transom, top speed is 22klms, but cruising speed around 15klms, I yak island hop Yak camping, there are other Jet Yaks vids but your setup is the Purest.
Now I know what Santa Claus does the rest of the year. He goes fishing and builds crazy stuff in his shop.Merry Christmas Marty!
Yep, twin engines for sure, just in case one dumps on you, ha ha...You're an inspiration to all RUclips creators. Thanks for an awesome year Marty!
Brother it was great talking with you last Saturday about all your projects. The ingenuity you have shown for all of them is incredible. Loved the way u built the controls for the 3 outboards. Very forward thinking. Hope to meet u again if I can assist you in any way or u want to go to Cape Lookout while your here I would be glad to run you over there.
Take Care Gene
Marty, this is friggin’ awesome! Merry Christmas brother!
I loved it but it's like the Christmas toy that gets played with once and goes to the back of the closet. If you do another engine on it I will definitely watch. Thanks for the video.
Very cool 😎Amazing fun for the Captain... Only problem I saw that you forgot seat belt connected and tray table in the upright position!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
It may not be practical but it was fun and I love this video Marty.
May not be the fastest kayak, but it's certainly the coolest one I've ever seen!
When you mentioned that it was a 45lb thrust, I had to compare it to my 8' Walker Bay dingy with a 45lb thrust Minkota electric outboard. My Dingy goes 4.1 MPH is neatly silent and is good for around 7 miles on a 54 Amphour lithium battery that gets solar charged on the yacht.
Looked like fun, merry Christmas
Man, a better aerodynamic boat and bigger jet, that will kill it, cheers, job well done for a first timer👍
Lol. Really enjoyed the project. Please do another one.. bigger!!!
Awesome dude! I watched the buildout video and have been waiting. Good job man.
Yeah, that would’ve been a lot of fun building. It was fun watching. 😎🇺🇸👍
When you said a jet engine and a bike I immediately thought of pewee herman. Merry Christmas can't wait to watch your journey. Live it up!
Hey Marty, it works, moved the kayak, maybe not as fast as you thought, it didn't catch on fire so it was a success. I think an actuator, twin jets and you might have something there! Fun fascinating project! Can't wait to maybe meet you on the great loop, Gods speed and Merry Christmas Marty!
Sure, not practical, but.... Amazing work though Marty. I enjoy the craftsmanship, engineering, and philosophizing.
Merry Christmas and Congratulations on a successful test.
You did it ! Good patience ! Well done
Dude, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen! Keep up the good work and stay hungry... :)
Very cool jet powered kayak Merry Christmas buddy
Never thought of it! Incredible and stay safe.
Hey man really nice try. First thing that came to mind is maybe you need a foil on the bottom to lift you out of the water along with another engine. That water is a lot of friction. Just my thought . Wish I could do the stuff you do. Your living the life. Your humor is great also.
Fire video awesome to see it built then see it on the water running
Wow, super cool. A jet on kayak. Thx 4 sharing on Utube. Let try it on a ultralite.
The Zoff is off! You are an inspiration to all mankind!
You’re a pioneer…..I like the jet power…..awesome!! Put two more motors 😄
A Belated Merry Christmas Marty! Great much awaited update on the Jet Kayak. It actually went quite well, but as you say, noisy, inefficient, and expensive! Now imagine if you had that amount of thrust under water, where the jet would have something to push against? Food for thought for the future. Stay safe & well. 👍👍😁
That was a very nice Christmas present! For any real speed you'll need at LEAST one more of those jets on the back of the kayak, maybe mount them a little bit lower since it doesn't look like spray will be an issue.
However, use that as your dinghy in a quiet anchorage and become the _LEAST_ popular boater there!
I don't recall ever hearing you say, "Hold my beer" through the whole build and build-up to operation. Woulda make perfect sense to say it. Very cool, btw
Very nice. A little tweaking and adjustments and you got it.♥️💪👍
The moment we all been waiting for
You have a problem with the blow molded plastic and too much surface tension, hydrofoil is the way to go and could be light enough to retrofit to your kayak, in principle its a brilliant idea what you have done with your craft, also consider fitting a nosil to create a venturi affect on your thrust that should easily double your thrust
Happy holidays and thank you for posting today x
Nice stealthy approach to the fish.
But what fun do you have with a trolling motor. But when you say jet engine now that is just awesome 😎
Great stuff man. Merry Christmas
Your totally nuts....
But in an oh so beautiful way Marty.
Happy Holidays...
and may the Schwartz be with you on your incredible journey....
(am wearing your hat and t-shirt that I just got from you...
So great timing...lol 😎)
Marty, hoping you have the Merriest of Christmases and Happiest of New Years EVER! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
Damn,it's impressive for the size of it,it looks fun though,imagine 5 more that's perfect
Camera audio is messed up, only on left channel, you can fix that in editing by making the soundtrack mono instead of stereo but you probably already know that. Other than that great video, hope to see more of this another year or on the bike. Glad to see it doesn't have the water ingestion problem the one hacksmith made does.
Would be comical to see you jet past a fishing area, the noise would be epic.
Merrrry Christmas to us! what a save. Awesome!!!!!!!
I cant help but think that THR33 of those WAY closer to the water slightly, just every so slightly tilted down towards the water, that this "jet boat' would actually come to life!!! In a very real & fast way!!!
Not practical but pure awsomness lol 😂👍. Stop by and see us on your Great Loop. We are right here in the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. We’ll treat you to some of the best Blue crabs in the world this summer!
That is really neat!!! It did a lot better then my model rocket motor I attached to the firework battleship I did as a kid!!!
The drag of the hull of the boat is slowing you. Some hydro foil would help but you would have to be going faster. Either that or build a fan blade attached to the exhaust to to prop geared down to push you thru the water to use some of that power more efficiently. Either way, coolest freaking Kayak on the water! Nice build!
Thanks for this long waited video marty. Very cool even know it's not a speed demon
A gas turbine is MUCH COOLER!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I've wroked with steam and gas turbines for 20 years and there's nothing like the noise of a turbine spooling up!
Crazy idea....but I love it! You are a great creator!!! Have fun l'ami!!!!
Nice job---I like the Kelly's Hero's reference you make a great Sargent Oddball--- Merry Christmas
You are nuts lol
Merry Christmas from Long Island NY Marty !
