Chainsaw Powered Mini Jet Boat Test. Steering and Trim!

We are building the world's fastest six foot jet boat ( 2 meters ) and while we wait for our engine support we want to test the custom steering with an electric 60v chainsaw to give us more power than the last test with the 18v power drill. The boat started out and a kit from Jetstream Adventure Boats! What should we build next? A chainsaw powered skate board? Scooter? Drift trike maybe?

So happy with how the last drone shot turned out at the very end. Pretty cool right?

[@theguywhowantstoplaygames397]

True

[@bishopdanger2114]

Unrelated but I hope y’all see this, you need to make a mini boat trailer that fits on one of the power wheels. That would be rad, good work y’all

10/10 I would recommend doing again

[@danf4616]

Probably should add a standard PWC lanyard cutoff switch, if you haven't. Great build! 😎

[@SeaDooEric]

And get rid of the steering spring

[@SteelOfLegend]

And address that possible air pocket issue in the tunnel for the pump.

[@yz4402]

If they use the original start/stop switch from their 750 donor ski, it should have one already.

What is the final powerplant going to be?

[@buddersthepuunk]

Trim works opposite of how showed pointing it up put noise/wheelie position to get up on plain faster.. down gives u higher top speed

[@Mr.whaterfountan]

Great! Nice job on the micro jet boat

[@MegaKencam]

I've been an avid jet skier since the 80s. I worry a bit about the lack of buoyancy that aluminum boat has. I've wiped out my jet skis more times than I can count. If that thing flips or just takes on too much water, it's going straight to the bottom. I hope you have room for some sort of floatation attached to the boat and an electric bilge.

[@westeed1]

Yeah, like one of those self inflating life jackets but in a slightly larger size.

[@1944GPW]

@@FAKE-NAME Good point. They should weigh the engine and accessories, remove and weigh down with bricks etc. to the equivalent weight and see if it sinks or floats.

[@SeanSteggs]

Adding anything inside is not going to give it any more flotation it’s only going to add to the weight.

[@JAKASHA420]

Pool noodles around the top edge? They sell them in purple. lol

[@brandonf3865]

@@SeanSteggs that’s what I was thinking too. It’s been a while since I studied fluids but all it would be doing is adding more weight to the same volume of water displaced right?

I’m 100% honest when I say this is my fav. Chanel by far. Every time I watch you I wanna build something small and baddddaaasssssss

[@dukie1616]

Sheet yeah! Really digging the production value, cinematography and most of the music. Been watching you gents so long you guys are as familiar as family and friends. Awesome crew and build content. Could watch a whole hour of GHPC and wouldn’t even be aware of the time. Sweet!

[@x_ph1l]

Steering looks sick! The color and everything. About motor forward/reverse: if you have any 3phase motor (BLDC, asynchronous) then swapping _any_ two leads will reverse its rotation. Doesn't matter, if it's drill motor or 30HP water jet pump motor.

[@Nateb521]

Your guys ability to recycle anything is amazing! Me: Looks for a bolt online for days and gives up GHP Co: "This 1 1/8" threaded coupler we have from a BMW trubo kit fits a 1997 jet ski radiator perfectly... And the color matches too." 🤣

@@frenchonion4595 why are you shaming people? Everybody has their own niche, grind hard is fab, cleetus is event hosting, drag racing and burnouts.

[@baltazard133T]

@@shawnbrown5653 he was this little keyboard warrior troll who had a bunch of comments on here who after getting his feelings hurt for being a douchebag he promptly deleted his comments. Basically he was saying that grinhard plumbing was cool because they built their channel from the ground up and Cletus was some rich douchebag who only had his channel because he was rich or something like that. Total BS either way you look at it. Both channels started out with nothing, Cleetus started out as an intern with 1320 while he was still in college and built his own channel from that inspiration and that one KZbin video he did with a 69 Camaro that went viral. Grind hard plumbing is a similar story just starting out of their own garage building things for themselves to enjoy which quickly gained a following on youtube.

Since you've been building this I have been watching Cleetus and his jet boats. It would be fun to see this tiny boat out there with those guys and their bigger yet still small jet boats.

[@grahamodonohoe5465]

Cleetus has a mini jet boat but hasn't started the build yet as he has no other videos of it except when he got it. "Boosted boys" are doing a K series motor in a mini jet boat. Check boosted boys mini jet boat out. I've been following grind hard plumbing for ages now and absolutely love what they do. No other channel like it.

[@netronet1383]

@@grahamodonohoe5465Cleetus ripped a hole in his little Mountain Dew mini jet boat the other day and I have checked out BoostedBois mini jet boat as well. There's a lot of good building going on out there. This boat Ethan and the boys are building should be called a micro jet boat.

Reminds me of the movie Tommy Boy and he's in that lil boat " hey quit playing with your dingy!" As he was telling a story of his would tell that when he was young playing with his lil boat I mean dingy! Enjoyed the craftsmanship and really pays off with getting build with your toys too make more toys. The older you get is just more enjoy life and do what the hell you want . Anything is possible, there's really some true genius's on youtube . Some love there any sharing with others that's the genius part of it all . Keep fabricating dreams as I say it when build something

This is going to be so epic! Would be fun to see you out with Cleetus and his boat sometime XD

[@PrinceAlsham28]

I love the way Edwin say "Oh No" while laughing 🤣🤣🤣

[@shawndubay4050]

That is awesome. Cool little boat. Drop a stihl ms311 timberboss chainsaw engine in a second boat build with the jet ski thrust system and I bet it would surprise you. My 311 has a twenty inch bar and full chisel chain and it has no problem making short work of a tree even hard cutting wood. So it has some power goin for it. That and a gallon gas tank and that's a full day water cruising. The Stihl ms311 has a 59 cc quad ported two stroke that absolutely screams. Put a tuned pipe and K&N air filter on it after having it ported and the piston squish tightened up with a good tune and it will be an absolute beast for the size of the power plant.

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and remove the engine that is already in the boat and am going to fabricate another motor install "real quick" to test the steering. (Thinking to myself: If that was me it would of took at least two more episodes to take that detour). Great, I discovered another KZbin channel that's so satisfying to watch someone else work I know I'm going to end up sitting on my ass checking out your channel all weekend. 👍

Just please make more videos more often cause this is cool.

i would love to see a Roof mounted system on the RALLY TESLA, the capabilities would be endless, take the car down some sick off road trails finding awesome rivers/ponds to just unload the Mini-Jet and go hit the water! plus it would just be epic to see that thing on the back of the tesla with the nose of the boat pointed as if its doing a nice wheelie towards the sky! aside from building a mini jet boat trailer!! ( which imo i think will be a PITA hauling, it'll most likely sway very easy and ride bumpy like most super short trailers do haha ) make it happen boys, love the channel!

[@PhilipCockram]

Coming along nicely 👍🏼

[@Mp-jw1qg]

me and my roomate stuck a turbocharged 1500cc seadoo rotax in a 8 foot wood jet boat, we cut most of the wood out, braced with aluminum and skinned it with kevlar/fiberglass. this was 14 years ago or so, it was slightly slower than the seadoo , with 3 people in it, the bigger jet from the boat with the high hp engine accounted for the extra weight. it was his pride and joy lol

Ethan’s diy Jerry rigging reminds me so much of gill-netting salmon in Bristol Bay Ak. When something breaks out there , and you don’t have a spare, all you can do is make the part you need out of anything else you can find onboard.
