[@outdooraadventures7911]

You did a hell of job

[@djbassin3042]

Awesome build. Super clean look too. Hats off.

[@harrytselios4228]

Love the diy ideas, genius. Thanks dude

[@Jettwint]

Sick build!

[@idus]

I guess the only thing left to add is a turbo. Thanks for sharing that inspiration and info that takes years to find Out on your own.

[@ripptydevibes2581]

Thanks for watching!

[@koolcruiserful]

I'm glad I found your videos. awesome work I want to build one for myself.

[@OMGWTFBBQSHEEP]

Such a cool boat man! Nice work

[@ripptydevibes2581]

Thanks man!

[@harrytselios4228]

Have you ever thought about mounting foam board to the underside of the floor instead of using the noodles? It would free up space on your floor and keep the foam out of the water

[@ripptydevibes2581]

Thats a great idea, although my build doesnt offer much space on the underside of the deck boards it wouldnt really take nearly enough foam. I do though, have the entire bottom of the boat lined in the pink foam boards front to back, plus then the noodles stuffed in all unused spaces gives me extra insurance. We have done it before, hitting a rock and ripping a large enough hole that the bilges cant keep up with it lol. If you build a jet for rocky shallow rivers its deff advised to have enough foam in it that it just simply cannot sink lol. Thanks for watching!

I just started a build, I’m using a 16 ft bass tracker and I found a seadoo boat with the bigger water jet and a 130 hp 900 series. I’m glad I found your video. I’ve been looking for a video of the install of the drive train and how high in the water column to have the jet. I was concerned about cavitation in choppy water. Your videos answered my questions. Looks like you mounted it even with the bottom of the hull? Plus the 110hp pushes it pretty good. I’m happy with how yours is going, so mine should be similar. Do you have any cavitation issues? Thanks again!

[@ripptydevibes2581]

Good luck, sounds like a great combo you have! My engine clears the hull bottom only by about an inch. Cavitation is 99% no problem. Only very certain situations but overall the only time its annoying is on big lakes when its super choppy, but these boats are not designed for that anyway.

[@BeeEpiclivinglife]

Would you consider building another one? I have the boat and the jet ski motor but that's as far as I got lol

[@ripptydevibes2581]

Lol oh man I remember those days! Just do it!

[@juricacakaric5535]

Whats the fuel consumption on that 787 engine?

[@ripptydevibes2581]

You have to look it up on google, its not great. I can do maybe 16 miles cruise on a full tank (OEM tank) which is a tiny tank. Probably 25 miles on flat water. I knew when I built it that id be regretting not going with a bigger tank, but I was more concerned about un needed weight, and I dont actually regret it. We carry an extra tank on rare ocassions.

[@juricacakaric5535]

@@ripptydevibes2581 thanks for the info 🔥🔥

[@aaronjones8524]

Might have missed it, but what’s the top speed?

[@ripptydevibes2581]

44mph naked, 34mph fully rigged 2 passenger and gear. I wouldnt build one of these with any less than 110hp and 2 cylinders.
