This is literally my favorite project you guys have ever done it’s awesome to see you guys expanding over the last year from growing your team to tackling bigger and better builds
This build is going to be so cool when it’s done. I hate to be a downer, but I’ll be shocked if that pump tunnel doesn’t cause the pump to cavitation super bad. Not only is the opening much smaller than the pump itself, but the sharp corners and “arched” space just before the impeller will likely lead to air pockets forming at higher rpm’s. Keep in mind that the drill at full rpm is basically idle speed for that kawasaki 750, so spinning 3-4x the rpm with a pump tunnel that’s not very streamlined will almost certainly yield cavitation. Hopefully that’s not the case and it works exactly how you’re building it, but if it doesn’t, I think moving the engine to the front, building a longer driveline, and smoothing/lengthening the pump tunnel might be your best bet. This would allow the drive to sit a bit farther back and not be so cramped as well!
@@sawyerwallace9631 that could also work, but then the pump would probably hang out the back a minimum of 6 more inches. Would still work, but would make the boat handle weird
@@EatSleepShift Interesting idea. That could work, my only concern would be if the “side tunnels” were too widely spaced, on would almost certainly come out of the water on harder turns leading to cavitation. Also extending the tunnels to be longer to reach around side the engine could mess with the fluid dynamics and lead to a big performance loss potentially
honestly, i read it “two a day” and that pissed me off. but then i thought about the comment again so i came back to look at it and have concluded that i have dyslexia AND anger issues. nonetheless i agree!!!! edit: it upset me because that would be a kinda unrealistic expectation and is too demanding
It sure is nice watching your little "plumbing" company grow so much over the years that I have been following your channel. From that first build with the Barbie cart, all the different cars and trucks and other 4 wheeled vehicles and right up to now Grind Hard Plumbing also has become a boatyard as well. Your little group has and most likely will grow much bigger. When are you guys going to start the new shop build? I know that I'm not the only one waiting for that to start. Hopefully, it will get lots of video coverage, just like your other builds. Keep up with the great work, doing what you do has been a pure pleasure to watch and I'm sure that there will be many more wonderful videos for your fans and friends to view. THANKS!!
I have a feeling you are going to have issues with pump cavitation when you have the motor turning it. In my experience that cavity in the top of the pump will hold a pocket of air and the smaller size of the intake might limit the waterfowl into the pump causing the impeller to spin freely in that pocket of air
There is going to be a massive limitation on that haggard pump setup for sure. They should really talk to people that know this stuff before going balls deep
I was thinking the same thing, def going to have more water trying to go out the back than is coming in, need an intake grate that promotes more intake flow, and a reduction nozzle might help it out
Made the same suggestion. They did an amazing job fabricating to the constraints but its not fit for purpose (as an intake) need to remove that 90 degree dead head
Yeah they should’ve either set the pump back a little more or kept the drive shaft a tad longer to help out with that or like you said a pump stuffer would be perfect I deal with this stuff on standup jetskis
(From a naval architect/boat engineer) Can't wait to see it all together! The shape of the jet drive kills be a bit though. If the interior volume of the drive should be more of a wedge shape and less of a mailbox shape. If it is more of a wedge shape (less vertical at the impeller bearing) you will get better flow and more thrust. The present shape will cause a lot of eddy making resistance and possibly cavitation.
So they'll only get 40knots at just over half throttle? Was thinking the same as you but on the other hand I'd like to see them do more videos in the future, this is good enough to start with even if they have to change the impeller a couple of times haha
This episode was so satisfying and relaxing. Great soundtrack. I imagined watching it in a classy lounge setting, sipping a hot cappuccino in a hot tub on a patio of a snowy mountain lodge.
Lol built lots of jet boats here in nz. This is going to be awesome. Intake could be an issue but keen to see if it works or causes cavitation at speed. Note the nozzle will work better out of the water as the nozzle velocity is way higher , watch the marthon racing boats for a demo of this. This caught bill hamitlon out when he built the first jet units as he had the nozzle exiting underwater but found the boat went way faster with nozzle above the water line.
I would definitely look into make a scoop intake grate for that. With the reduced flow of water coming into the pump area you may run into so surging. Worx makes a great one to replicate.
NOT TO JUMP THE GUN, but...you will probably need a more aggressive pitch on the impeller for 100hp. it will most likely redline quickly, thus not using the full potential of the engine. kinda like being stuck in 3rd gear on a car. probably still fun, but not nearly as fast as it could be.
your skill on the lathe is awesome!!! but a tip i learned for safety that you might want to think about is , when using emery cloth / sand paper on a piece wile its spinning be sure its not so long that it can get snaged in the work piece and possibly wrap around and pull you in. i have seent some shit as im sure you have haha
I love your arc droid table. Nothing better than building the right hardware for your favourite gear, or sometimes even building your favourite hardware into your favourite gear.
Makes me want to see an electric version with a big LiPo pack and a monster brushless motor! That Makita is just a little 5S2P lithium ion cylindrical pack and an ~300W motor and moves it OK, you could blast through a creek with a 5000W motor and big 14S pack!

Once again, our "Boy Genius" validates the saying "We have done so much for so long with so little that we can now do practically anything with nothing". Can't wait for the next vid of this watercraft doing a full on send with a combustion engine!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Great stuff GHPC!!!!!!
The day I stumbled on this channel watching you guys build the Barbie Jeep never thought the day would come for a mini jet boat you guys really have no limits and I love it.
Because it's so small maybe a neoprene seal skirt, like whats used on whitewater kayaks would be good. I have no idea how you would do it, but I just think a lot of water could enter the boat from spray and waves, idk just a thought. Keep it up boys, loving the longer content 🔥👍
The life vest only, gave me a "Deliverance" vibe. I'm glad no one said, "squeal like a pig!" That boat is going to be stupid fast with 100 ponies. Am loving the build!
Might want to try smoothing out that transition above the impeller shaft. You have a good water seal now, but add something that will allow the water to smoothly fill the impeller inlet ring from the impeller shaft and up to the top of the housing near the ring. You’ll get much less air intrusion into the impeller, less cavitation in the inlet stream of water, and thus more power going into thrust than making bubbles.
I’m guessing the inside radius part of the intake might cause cavitation. The PWC’s have a gradual slope up to the back of the transom. I could be wrong with the cavitation and would work just fine. 🤷🏼♂️
Best bet for getting a good flow geometry and not destroying the impeller would be to lift a complete pump housing and tunnel off a PWC and just retrofit it. Seat of your pants fabrication is one thing for easy stuff like suspension, but fluid flow systems are something I'd want a tested solution for.
Its a shame they couldnt go with traditional prop. 100hp jetboat will go like 50hp with prop. And like you say this will cavitate bad.The impeller will spin in mainly a vacuum and engine revs will raise to the limiter with little forward thrust.
- Привет из Сибири! Случайно попал на твоё видео ! Бесконечно можно смотреть : - На то как горит в камине огонь, как течёт в реке вода , как мне мой босс платит зарплату , и как работают другие ! Последний пункт , это про тебя , классная лодка получается!
100 HP is a lot of power in a tiny opening like that. 20 HP would probably be ok, maybe even 40 HP, but 100 HP? I fear they're going to suck a huge vacuum inside that tunnel. That cordless drill has maybe 300 W of power and the boat moved pretty fast. They want to increase that by 250 fold? Good luck! I don't think their water intake will have much more than water vapor inside it when cranked up to full power.
what you need is a pipe anvil. find 3'-4' sections of heavy wall, steel tube, 6", 4", 2" in dia. at the scrapyard, weld them horizontally into a strong frame at the ends, parallel to each other, with about a 1/4" of space between them with the largest one in the center, weld some legs that you can bolt to the floor onto the frame holding the tubes, and presto! you can make smooth curves in sheet stock easy peasy, lemon squeezy. just insert the sheet between two of the tubes, and bend it around the dia. tube you desire like a brake. they're really useful for making body panels, drive shaft tunnels and the like. and being d.i.y., you can save a few hundy for project fundage. there are a couple of how to vids here on the youtubes that will give you an idea of what they look like, and just what they are capable of doing. honestly, i can't believe you don't already have one with all of the fab work that you do.
You put so much love into this video.. .but I'm willing to bet a large sum of money that I loved this video more !!! Firstly the tiny hull is a buitiful peice of fabrication.

Patience man. Doctors have patients, your teachers had patience. Here's another one that you probably get wrong. Lose means you lost something, loose is what your mother is.
31 is not that old. Love seeing the beautiful woods and love seeing all the little toy and projects makes me wanna start building crazy project like these. Love the content keep it up guys.
I think you might want a spoon shape in front of the water intake. Helps bring water in. I think there are aftermarket spoons you could look up for photo reference.
Just a bit of info WD40 or CRC are your best friend when machining or drilling aluminium, stops the tool/drill from loading up and gives a beautiful finish. Also when cutting or grinding aluminium with a fiber disc use paraffin wax on the wheel and it wont load up and will cut like a hot knife through butter. Just use acetone to clean parts before welding.
8:00 Aren't you going to get galvanic corrosion if you use stainless steel nuts in alluminium? Then you'd ruin both surfaces. I think even just regular steel nuts would be better since then at least the aluminium stays in-tact.
Teflon the belly. Slides better on rocks/sand/snow. Same stuff sleds used on rails. Plus the extra protection from ripping aluminum. Love the build. Did one back in 16 with a 10'5" using a 650 kewi. 30mph got us in trouble.
Yall are going to need a twin scoop intake grate with such a shallow intake. It will help a lot when trying to holeshot and midrange. It will also keep it from cavitating at high speed. Another bonus is it will slow you down fast when you let off the throttle. You can turn the one you have into a twin scoop intake grate. Look at pictures online and Ethan can do it under 10 minutes, lol.
You guys probably know this already - but they make 'rivet nuts' that may be more durable than just tapping the aluminum. They make them all sorts of sizes and materials, that way you can make the aluminum super thick in high stress areas and 'sleeve it' with the rivet nuts for longevity. Could even weld them into place afterward to double down.
Wow Ethan and crew you guys don't mess around when you start a project. If the wedding torch didn't break you would've finished! Can't wait to see the end product 💪👍
2:37 Hey, I have that same Atlas lathe. Even came with it's original manual. Except mine is only like 30" or something. Got another Atlas one too that's longer. $100 each from a widower and her son. Pretty sweet. Though it's missing it's screw along the bottom that auto moves the tool. Everything else works great. What oil do you use for lubing it? That's been holding me back from wanting to use it. Not having it properly lubricated.
just love ur show i learn from u all .even though i am mechanically in klined myself .some people get happy over foid or walking or whatever ,ME happy when i cutting metal or welding something from nothing just love making things come alive ,peace out u all keep the great builds coming .🙃
The more I run into fellow plumbers , the more it occurs to me , plumbers do need an annual competition for crazy contraptions. We truelly are a bunch of insane tinkers.
I so called a boat build a few videos before the announcement of this one. Had no idea you guys live so close to a major lake system out there. I can't wait till some proper snd footy is uploaded!
Some seriously impressive fabrication, blown away watching you design and build every portion. Will be paying attention to more of this can't wait, keep up the good work guys.
What an awesome channel. Seems like I’ve been watching it for years.. wait, I have been watching it for years! The propulsion that 18V drill was providing was quite impressive. This is going to be so cool. Don’t know why and maybe I’m wrong about this but that window frame worries me when you guys eventually are at speed. Ahh, it’s probably nothing though. OK boys keep up the good work you’re all killing it!

Way cool! Surprised how the drill moved the boat with that much weight in it! Great craftsmanship!
these guys are just casually expert machinists. so cool to watch👍🏼
I just am smiling the whole time i watch your guys videos, i don't realize it til i'm done and my face hurts.
Teflon the belly. Slides better on rocks/sand/snow. Same stuff sleds used on rails. Plus the extra protection from ripping aluminum. Love the build. Did one back in 16 with a 10'5" using a 650 kewi. 30mph got us in trouble.
Ooh yeah! Makita power baby!
Bring it down to lewiston Idaho and show it to all of the jetboat shops. It is the jetboat capital of the world down here.
Yall are going to need a twin scoop intake grate with such a shallow intake. It will help a lot when trying to holeshot and midrange. It will also keep it from cavitating at high speed. Another bonus is it will slow you down fast when you let off the throttle. You can turn the one you have into a twin scoop intake grate. Look at pictures online and Ethan can do it under 10 minutes, lol.
This was both inspirational and so much fun to watch at the same time. You've earned a new subscription 👏
You guys probably know this already - but they make 'rivet nuts' that may be more durable than just tapping the aluminum.
They make them all sorts of sizes and materials, that way you can make the aluminum super thick in high stress areas and 'sleeve it' with the rivet nuts for longevity. Could even weld them into place afterward to double down.
That thing is gonna fly! Keep up the awesome content!!
When you're testing in the pond. All I hear is "ruba dub dub. two men in a jet boat". Lol. Awesome build guys!!!
That pump tunnel is gonna be trouble
Just subscribed when I watched you decide to go the extra mile and use the 18 volt drill !!! That's the kind of guys I want to see in videos!
Really enjoying the jet boat build!
The ameribraid grinder is an animal! I lovemine aton!!!

Wow Ethan and crew you guys don't mess around when you start a project. If the wedding torch didn't break you would've finished! Can't wait to see the end product 💪👍
0:32 good good good good vibrations!
She's giving me good vibrations.
2:37 Hey, I have that same Atlas lathe. Even came with it's original manual. Except mine is only like 30" or something. Got another Atlas one too that's longer. $100 each from a widower and her son. Pretty sweet. Though it's missing it's screw along the bottom that auto moves the tool. Everything else works great. What oil do you use for lubing it? That's been holding me back from wanting to use it. Not having it properly lubricated.
Very nice job guys !! It's an awosome project again !! Congrats 😍😍😍😉
just love ur show i learn from u all .even though i am mechanically in klined myself .some people get happy over foid or walking or whatever ,ME happy when i cutting metal or welding something from nothing just love making things come alive ,peace out u all keep the great builds coming .🙃
Thing rips for just a drill. Nice fabrication to, definitely going to be following u guys.
Promising test with that drill,
I have a feeling that thing is going to be a neck breaker!
Nice fab work,
The more I run into fellow plumbers , the more it occurs to me , plumbers do need an annual competition for crazy contraptions. We truelly are a bunch of insane tinkers.
You guys in the boat with a drill was hilarious! Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Will you sell these or sell the plans ? Want one of these in Aus
I so called a boat build a few videos before the announcement of this one. Had no idea you guys live so close to a major lake system out there. I can't wait till some proper snd footy is uploaded!
My favourite project of yours hasn't started yet . The awesome new shop in which you will build epic things .
Awesome video. Might require a bit more R&D into that pump housing, but i'm no professional. Super glad you guys started this build.
Some seriously impressive fabrication, blown away watching you design and build every portion. Will be paying attention to more of this can't wait, keep up the good work guys.
I'm 13 I am fixing an old Ford saquch for my self so Farr I've got pretty farr. You guys have inspired me
What an awesome channel. Seems like I’ve been watching it for years.. wait, I have been watching it for years! The propulsion that 18V drill was providing was quite impressive. This is going to be so cool. Don’t know why and maybe I’m wrong about this but that window frame worries me when you guys eventually are at speed. Ahh, it’s probably nothing though. OK boys keep up the good work you’re all killing it!
The drill pushed that boat way better then I thought it would 👍🏻
That is going to be scary fun. Love it
I just noticed the Subaru head bolt T-handle wrench for the lathe…..LOVE IT!
