What happened dude are you ok no finish up and been two years ??

[@jetboatmayhem7271]

I had a problem with my editor, and I've got a new one now so maybe I can finish this up 🤣 sorry about that!

[@jaketester9555]

How did this boat hold up?

[@jetboatmayhem7271]

Dude so awesome! I'll have some new stuff coming out soon, stay tuned!

[@brianbrady1124]

Super late but these are interesting. Your problem was metal was drawing from heat

[@jetboatmayhem7271]

I appreciate the comment and info, but im not sure I'm following you... maybe you can explain a little more. I've seen people weld these things and I could not figure it out 🤣

3M 5200 Marine Sealant is what I see a lot of people Where are you located, and are you a member of the Franken Jet Jon Facebook page? Lots of knowledgeable people and information there. Im getting ready to start my first build with a 1648 and a Kawasaki STX 1100.

[@joshschacht1180]

Hey Len! Thanks for your reply! Yes I've heard of that stuff, but got started with the flex paste and am impressed with how it's holding up! Yes I am a part of that page, great group of people on there! Can't wait to see your build my friend!

Someone should pre- build kits for transoms to make this easier for the builder, for each type of boat they could make a killing. Or build it to the needs of the owner.

[@jaketester9555]

That’s a good idea. It would be inexpensive too. Just some aluminum angle, and a spool gun. It’s important to stiffen up the transom. Mine has a lot of structure than needs cut out.

[@jetboatmayhem7271]

That is a good idea! They're now building intakes you can just weld together yourself, which is awesome! It would save a lot of weight over the jet ski hull and make installation faster and easier! Good stuff guys! 👏

[@jaketester9555]

Do you have a link? I am picking up 2 Honda aquatrax turbo jet skis for my build. The hull on those is extremely heavy! They make 165HP though haha.

[@jetboatmayhem7271]

I dont have a link sorry, there was a guy on one of the pages that was going to be selling them. I'll get it to you if I find it.
