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.

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@morganweast4228]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@troythetinkerer]

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

[@tylerhein7387]

Yes! More micro jet boat action!

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

Yessss

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@kevinvanderhoef7806]

You guys need to make a trailer for it! To tow it with either a truck or the Barbie camper!

Keep it coming and doing what you guys do! Love it all since day one!❤️

[@johnholgate8908]

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

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

There's something kinda f*cking hilarious about a tube that holds more people than the boat towing it.

[@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 🤪

[@timmuniz_]

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

[@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.

[@dragata1]

Little trick we use down here on our boat is we use a CB whip antenna on our bass boats when tubing to keep the rope out of the prop i use them on jet jons as well work great.

[@s.w.m2148]

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

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.

[@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!!

The little boat reminds of the remote control towboats that were in popular mechanics in the 80's

[@justindorado8152]

always cool watching grindhard videos tiny jet boat is sick as hell guys thanks

[@JCLoony]

OK, hear me out: Buy a small(or not, based on the power this has) aluminum boat, and cut out the backend so that this boat can dock in it and become it's power source. You can use this little boat to power it out into the lake, then undock and go for a rip, return to the boat to dock and head home. You could make a real party boat if you went big, but even just some fun with a fishing boat that can go absurdly fast would be neat.

[@KingsCorals]

U should have a drone sponsor lol... You guys are awesome.... I love everything u put out... So creative and inventive... Keep up all the amazing work

[@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

Aluminum is a great conductor, however, water without electrolyte is surprisingly not.

[@downtoearthconstruction7768]

They mount the toe line as high as possible to keep your toe line out of the water which creates a tremendous amount of drag especially laterally and away from your prop or out drive area.

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?
