I don't think you guys understand how much these video's impact your viewers. Especially when they come out on Friday's. I am stuck in a toxic job right now, that just absolutely drains me, but after watching this videos at the end of a migraine inducing week, it inspires me to ditch running to my bad habits of playing games or watching reruns, and gets me in my oven of a garage to work on cool things myself. So thank you for A) Given me something positive to end the week on and B) Inspiring me to make my own crazy stuff. Much Love!

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

Much love Alex! I am happy the weekly videos keep you motivated! I always feel better after building something than after videos games too. Wishing you the best in your work life and building life! - Edwin

[@ontariofishing1790]

I am fixing up an old 1950's Clinton engine currently. what project you got going on Alex?

[@MickeyC3040]

Oooph. I feel this one. I can barely get myself into work in the morning anymore. Good on you for spreading some positivity and hope you have some fun projects

[@alexgrweahae6892]

@@ontariofishing1790 Very cool, a few projects I currently have in queue are: An automated vegetable grow tower, to start being able to grow my garden vertical and cut down on food costs. I also have an 94' Cherokee that I have slowly been turning into an Overlander, so I can fish the mountain streams on the weekends with my dog!

[@phillevchenko1156]

Well said. well said.

[@333pv333]

As a Marine Engineer and long term fan of the channel I can say that Ethan made me very proud at 3:41! Needless to say that i'm loving the jetboat series

[@jasonhollibaugh8581]

You inspired me to do. I’m 14 and I’ve never fabricated it even welded until now, and today I did. My dirtbike needed a new skid plate, and after watching this video I went and Made one using our mig and the cutoff wheel, and it turned out actually really good. Thank you very much for helping me to do this!

[@jasonhollibaugh8581]

Forgot to say I made the skid plate out of an old metal folding chair I found in the dumpster at our church, works great

[@jcims]

@@jasonhollibaugh8581 That's awesome buddy!!! Keep at it!!!

[@kirill2525]

next time make a vid, get some viwers, try to get a sponsorship. can also start thinking about stuff like battlebots. thoes are always fun, just be carefull

[@bearrett50kal17]

I swear nearly every time Ethan says "and that's how it should work... in theory" and then builds what he explained it always just works like he said it would

[@Randomperson0467]

Scam

[@althejazzman]

I'm so pleased that Jackery sponsor you. Edwin's sponsor segment was so natural because you really relate to their products, and actually make me want to buy one, unlike a VPN or mobile video game.

[@morganweast4228]

Ok I'll just go ahead and say it. Better check your States law on towing without an observer. Love your videos thanks.

[@Tommy2Touch]

You need to add rails on the bottom edges of each side. This will give you sharper turning and more controlled turns at high speeds. Love what you guys do! Keep up the great work boys!

[@tylerhein7387]

Yes! More micro jet boat action!

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

Yessss

[@troythetinkerer]

Bro, that serpentine shot was amazing! Like a jet powered Nessie. I love this little boat so much. Great build!

[@haphazard1342]

This may be the coolest build yet, and I've been following since the first sketchy video of the Barbie car go kart. Wanna see this towed behind the camper or the colonel. Can't wait!

[@frederickgiordiano2105]

I think this jet boat is one of the best builds ever!! I cannot believe how fast, manuverable, powerful, and stabile. Ethan is a great engineer.

[@cody4128]

I can't wait to see the trailer build for this. All the builds are epic and just makes me wanna finish all my projects that much more.

[@berinslaptop]

I'm picturing a "MINI" jacked up trailer screaming LOOK AT ME!

[@cody4128]

@@berinslaptop they could always build a few different trailers for it. one on air like they stated and another with an actual live axle using some sort of PTO off the camper. that way its a 6X6 lol.

[@Whoopee_stick]

also an important feature to think about adding is a bilge blower so it can blow all of the (potentially) flammable gasses out before you start it up so the boat does'nt have a chance to blow up.

[@crazyheadgideon]

6 or 7 feet robe to tow would be sufficient to get away from the jet stream when tubing/wakeboarding behind. Very very cool build.

[@richardmikesell1335]

Will has brought this show to a new level with his positive additude and badassness.

[@F5Tornado44]

Ethan, if you are getting a stainless impeller for this, you are in for a big surprise. Stainless impellers make a HUGE difference in performance.

[@kirkeverett295]

No idea if you guys are planning on it at this point, but @aserta 's suggestion on the last video about an auto inflating rescue buoy definitely seems like a solid next step in the build, just to make running it a little less sketchy. Also, I feel like some padding on the dash of the boat to protect knees/shins would be a good quality of life upgrade.

[@giovannigiorgio4622]

Old mates got skills man.... far out, Impressive.

[@johnholgate8908]

So frigging awesome! It's built so perfect and just glides across so insanely fast. Another off the charts build

[@austinconklin08]

It looks like the Corgi of jet boats, loving this build!

[@messybench]

The bilge pump really makes this a plumbing video. Grind Hard and Plumb On.

[@darksidemoto3693]

I'll never forget the first time I saw you guys on this little tree house special of tree houses around the world...not the tree house masters one...and since then I've always been a grind hard plumbing fan and now I make content and I never understood the amount of time you guys put into a video, I mean the builds alone are crazy then to go edit all the video is a whole other ball park! Keep it coming and doing what you guys do! Love it all since day one!❤️

[@OMazoo22]

Hell yes! One of my favourite builds lately. Need to see this thing go down a tight creek or rough river

[@hickstylez]

Omg arizona salt river tow me upstream on a wake board

[@thebadfarmer]

As a long time commercial fisherman, I too love drilling large holes in things that are supposed to float. Especially brand new ones!

[@wendymiller8122]

a good ski rope mount you can buy off the shelf is a standard 2" towball, i've been using one for years and it works great

[@Defamed.]

It's custom. Which adds horsepower. Duh

[@skipwalker3269]

galvanic reaction- dummy! you should think about what you say first.

[@jimmygriswold9258]

Wendy’s idea is custom too. I’m just thinking a 2” ball is going to be like one fifth of the weight of the whole boat and it might sit in the water funny 🤪

[@jkoll42]

Just a heads up guys unless your state is different from most - you technically need a wide angle rear view since you don't have an observer to legally tow a tuber. Hate to see you nabbed for something stupid and end up in court like WD! This is such a cool project - turned out great.

[@derekbiggers694]

Idaho is dumb. an observer/flagger is required and so is room in the boat/PWC for all towed passengers. for example, It takes a 3 person capable jet ski to pull one person. so...yeah they should be careful. also there is no displayed registration.

[@jkoll42]

@@derekbiggers694 PA is similar - 3 person PWC w/ observer. They don't have boat capacity defined but require a spotter UNLESS you get a permit to use a mirror w/ no spotter BUT it has to be for a specific weekday before 10am UNLESS you get another one saying on a specific day it can be after 10/weekend/holiday. It's so dumb.

[@timmuniz_]

Always a rowdy time out with bois! Thanks for having me along!

[@CLCIII]

Build it. Mod it. Make it Mo Betta! So excited to hear Ethan say "Wait till we get the new prop in there!" YES!!!

[@Ryon_Davis]

The engine turn pattern on the back is perfect!!! You need to do the whole boat so it looks like fish scales. Oh!! And congrats on the drone recovery!!

[@shize9ine]

4:10 - A wake tower would be sick though even if you'd never pull from it. Imagine having little speakers mounted to it and it would double as a roll bar!

[@frenchiezooted8833]

Roll bars in water aren’t really useful 😂

[@sladeb6036]

Definitely would be best to wear a helmet if it did have a roll bar I would think.

When you see a tube being pulled by a boat the same size as a tube. Laughter engulfs you. It's the best damn thing I've ever seen on water! I love your work so much especially having lived in Idaho almost my entire life.

[@jeepguy518]

got out from surgery last week and been stuck laying around and not able to work on my own projects, saw you guys put out a video and it made the day so much better. thanks I'm living vicariously threw you guys while I heal up and can get back in my shop. boat turning into a genuine ripper.

[@tbyrd2046]

20:44 shows how tight of a slalom course you could set up and to timed runs against each other. Start/finish line then 50' flat out then through a slalom then 100' to get to about top speed then a 180° u-turn around a buoy and back through the course.

Hi I'm 15 and I've working on engine since I was five and I have finally built My first project yesterday I wrote it to school today it felt good it's a moped engine on the back of a bike I just found the right frame and just bolted it on the back I had to do some bending and use a piece of wood but it worked and I'm happy it's a home chopper y'all give me a lot of inspiration just want to let you know that

Been watching for years, favorite project yet. Not coincidence that it is the most original and one-of-a-kind project you have built sofar as well. (In my opinion)

Looks like a blast. Thinking you could make some knee cutouts in the dash, and install permanent padding there.

[@trevorgrampp6789]

It’s very inspiring to me as well I’m at a young age and do not have as much access to financial privileges as I would if I had a job and since this Iv acquired multiple things to build a drift kart seeing y’all build the power wheels and this has inspired me that I can do such a thing and that it is possible to take something that’s considered junk or useless and make it better. I love the videos keep up the good work

[@w0wspik3]

It think it would be amazing to see one of the mini's tow the jet boat when you get the trailer done . great videos as always . fan for life

[@RedbackRecordz]

That’s awesome! I’ve owned jet boats for years and that looks like so much fun! Great job guys! You should try turning up some steering nozzle reducers that you can change easily, make them slightly longer and have different sized centres, it will give you different top speeds and take off power along with making the steering even more responsive. 🤘🤘Love your builds, so inspiring

How much did the trim plates help with stability/planing at higher speeds? Would love a comparison of how it behaved before and after they were installed. Did it feel faster? Also, your videos are so well produced it could easily pass for "television quality". I mean that in a good way, editing is on TOP!

There is so many peoiple with boats who are rich posers. People who want to impress. This kind of people don't deeserve speeding on crazy jet boat in 1% like Ethan do.

[@aserta]

The new boat attitude with the fins is "chef's kiss" great execution on that. Add a couple of small mirrors so you can see what's behind you. Like the mirrors that big truckers use to attach on the side of their big mirrors, the old iphone sized ones. Excellent for when you tube someone down the line, so you can see them eat water. ;)
