fixing the sketchy marketplace boat

I want to drive it so bad! But first got to make it work. Super two strake Seadoo 951 personal watercraft engine in an old aluminum fishing boat.

Kids are getting huge man. Happens all to quick......

[@JetSkiBrothers]

You are not wrong. Blink twice and they are all grown up. Doing my absolute best not to miss it 🍻

[@BlakeASwift]

Love the video! Great editing and loving this 951 build 😁

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks a ton!

[@cpcassone]

Awesome job! Make those kids stop growing up so darn fast!😂

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Yes they do

[@mazdarx7887]

It's really funny. When people do motor bikes they make sure they balance (synchronize) the carbs, yet on other engines, like a boat or snowmobile they don't do it. I guess they think one cyl pulling harder than the others is not so important afterall

[@JetSkiBrothers]

That’s true you don’t see carb balancing on personal watercraft. I never really thought about it, wonder why that is

[@mazdarx7887]

@@JetSkiBrothers Except for motorbikes, it's rarely done. My buddies 9500 Blizzard couldn't get the top end like his brothers. I set the clutches, tuned and balanced the carbs, adjusted the track and he walked away from him. It is just basic mechanical work, not rocket science

[@B.Cote39]

great job guys!! WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME HYDROFOILS on something !! AIR PROPELLED LOL been on my mind for a while . would be so cool !! thanks again!!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Great suggestion! I would really enjoy playing with foils, but honestly don’t know when we’ll get around to it 👍🍻

[@carlreed3571]

DUDE your kids are growing 😊

[@JetSkiBrothers]

I know!!

[@joecook3223]

uploading engine assembly to youtube, wow, man fears no criticism haha. fun looking boat, and good the motor wasn't too hard to make a goer again. always good to see you brothers having a good time together.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Yeah not too worried about being told we’re doing it wrong by someone online. But it’s always fun when we get all the brothers in the same video 🍻👍

[@its_duggie]

Hey do y'all work on skis for people? I have a 2000 seadoo 951 got it as a basket case and have been throwing parts at it. Still needs some stuff put together, carbs exhaust. Needs ignition and key/programming. I'm in Washington.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Sometimes but not usually. I don’t think any of us have time right now. Sorry bud. Good luck

[@peterdavis6250]

Hey bro, love your channel . One thing , please don't run extra oil in the fuel, less is better. The extra oil runs hotter cylinder head temperatures and can possibly melt pistons. Depending on what fuel you run and compression, Good luck bro🤞

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Agreed, just running extra oil during break in then we’ll switch back to normal.

[@kimkeam2094]

the information you gave us when assembling the motor was priceless, and I appreciate it.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

🍻👍

[@Jacobskibros]

That thing is going to be insane. The punk kids and their mercruiser 305s are going to get smoked!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Yeah exactly 😂

[@broncoteno7181]

Dang! I have been away from JsB for a season and the baby is now talking!!!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Welcome back 🍻👍

[@1187titanium]

Ring end gap is always upto the installer to check and adjust if necessary

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Agreed. I did what I wanted to with the ring gap and we’ll find out if it works or not 😂

[@DemetriRubi-zm5wk]

Let me buy it back😂

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Hey if the price is right we’re open to selling it back to you 👌👍

[@B.Cote39]

btw your an awesome mechanic bro! i learn so much here thank you!!!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Glad to help 🍻

[@andreakerstrom2939]

thanks for the video , and i see that u soon have to build a larger Garage :D

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Maybe one day!

[@TurboDog73TX]

There's an old engine builder saying about ring gaps: Run them too loose, only You will know. Run them too tight, and EVERYONE will know.. I hope it works out for You. Also, the semi- circular wire type clips are usually less prone to eject themselves than the flat ones with the holes for the pliers.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

I agree in principle and in reality yes this seems correct. But on internet videos I can just not show you guys if things don’t work out. But on js brothers we always show what happens even if it’s our own bone headed mistake. To us truth is better then being flawless.

[@venture17fly]

Hey brother, thanks for the upload! I have a kawi 1100 engine and I was wondering if there was a particular tool or way to precisely lineup the lovejoy in my jet boat? Any input you or others might have is greatly appreciated.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

If you’re using a Kawasaki coupler then it would be the same way you line it up in the jetski. Try searching for jetski coupler alignment. If you can’t find anything I’ll try to make an explanation video for you

[@Garretthorstman100]

Do you live in Washington?

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Yeah

[@Garretthorstman100]

@@JetSkiBrothers nice I live in Port Angeles, WA. What bodies of water do you ride on?

[@beerforyourhorses3812]

What are you feeding your kids? They are getting big! Are they eating whole farm animals? They are growing fast!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Just cereal and Mac n cheese 😂

[@lxddci]

The carbon ring is damn hot

[@MikeZ32TT]

A little too soon. I was like 68 :|

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Better luck next time 🍻

Great video 👍🏼👍🏼

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks 👍

[@viper8466]

Nice project!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks!

[@jasonskibrothers2192]

Why do you only use seadoo engines when you do jetjon builds?
