This has to be one the most fun builds to watch, at first I was like megh... more jet boats... but this thing is so unique and amazingly well engineered and thought out. Never thought it would beat Cleetus's boat but here we are! The Boiz did it! Love it and keep it up! Lets turn this boat up! I want to see it go 70mph!

[@CrashRacknShoot]

Oh Jesus that thing will pop them in the back of their heads trying to ramp up to 70 lol. New rods gotta go in it at least!

I’m literally making a parts list to build one of these now… 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@hondrew]

This has me smiling and laughing. Cleetus smack talk is amazing

[@rereg543]

That oil-less turbo is working way better than I thought it would

[@kick_then_shift]

That style of turbo has been around since the beginning of turbos. As long as you keep them greased they will last a pretty good amount of time.

[@tacticalmattress]

@@kick_then_shift Yeah literally perfect for their application. Limited run-time as it is, not like it's on a daily car. Also well protected from dust, dirt and grime in that bay so. Turbo will most likely outlast the engine unless they go crazy on the boost. That watercooled manifold + water-air box is also passively helping the turbo stay cooler than it normally would without it.

[@MrJermbob]

Need to check out the snow mobile dudes bud. MEGA power reliable as hell.

[@TheLowTideBoyz]

Comp turbos are actually gaining popularity, their triple ceramic ball bearing turbos don't need pressurized oil since they have high quality "dry" bearings. unlike most OEM turbos which use a "journal bearing" which is a fancy way of saying a shaft inside a hole with an exact gap between them for pressurized oil to fill.

[@micaharies]

I think Ryan Mitchell's firebird uses those comp oilless turbos on the LS setup when he runs that and he's won tons with that

[@bryboy92]

I love how the jet boat sounds like a regular boat. The manifold and flap was a really good idea

[@Nick1one_]

Honestly best sounding K series I've heard so far with that boat and the exhaust you guys did for that. The turbo also is just so good!

[@kshepthedrummer]

it needs an intake pipe routed through the engine cover. fresh air and all the spool noises!

[@Danny__D]

I agree 100% They all sound horrible, until this! They definitely did a good job

[@baltazard133T]

Once you hit around 58/59 mph with that jet drive pump you have currently you can easily upgrade the impeller Wheels to something with more surface area and you can upgrade the intake great with one that has larger scoops with a sharper angle to get a lot more mph now that you have a turbo on it. You have to remember when you ordered that jet drive you told them you would be using a stock naturally aspirated k series engine on it to begin with so they sized the impeller for that engine not for one with a turbo so there's plenty of meat on the bone so to speak.

[@hinton.motorsports3476]

Exactly. Boats respond big with small changes. The hulls on the mini jets are designed for shallow water, rocks, branches, cruising.. it's similar to a ski boat hull that was designed for steady, consistent 35 mph runs. I noticed he trimmed it down to keep it from porpoising on launch but didn't see him re-adjust when the boat got up on plane. Maybe I missed that??

[@mikewest712]

I know my jet bolt breaks up at around 3000 mph.

[@dontbeakaren6145]

The only won cuz the other guy wasn't getting traction🥴

[@vaughnhill3437]

By the time cleetus is done he is gonna need a set of wheelie bars on the back of his little boat

[@NET-POSITIVE]

You need to trim you outlet nozzle down a little when you get on plane and swap the inlet gate with a horizontal wing gate to hydroplane up. That will help you increase your speed, allows for a much stronger push.

[@kevinquigley1555]

now this is my idea of a fun day on the boat with the boys. you guys literally did roll races and also from a dig. Awesome boys.

[@greggarrot8132]

You guys should seriously consider putting together a Honda k engine and jet pump package for people who don't want to go the Sea Doo route. Mini jet boats / Adventure boats are exploding in popularity and your engine pump setup works. I'm sure there's a lot of people out there that would be happy to pay to have that same setup in their new mini jet boat

[@otm646]

By the time you factor in the cost of the pump, and the swap the Sea-Doo drop in is less expensive. Plus then you got something which is factory you can resell. Swap hodgepodges don't go for anything even if they're done well.

[@michaelshafer2996]

Like otm said it's considerably cheaper to go the seadoo route and it's a complete setup. Yamaha 1.8 is actually a much better package, stock with a few parts is 350hp but about $6k package vs

[@drewoer]

BusinessBoys

[@mikemocon8582]

@Donald Johnson he has a k swap that will last forever and a kick associated jet pump . Those supercharged seadoo engines are notoriously unreliable. I would take Kyle's boat anyway over Cleetus's.

[@greggarrot8132]

One of the main things I like about using a Honda Motor in a Mini jet boat I know people that can work on Honda I don't know anyone that's a Sea-Doo mechanic and Honda parts are sold everywhere I think it's the way to go

[@mk4gli389]

You guys are absolutely fucking crushing it on content lately!

[@edlebrock3501]

Man this video got me so pumped, your jet boat is officially my favorite, right next to the give away boat cleetus had! you guys have built some AWESOME units!

[@omeganickum]

Since that manifolds running so cool I would cut that fuel tank in half and put half on the other side with a transfer hose between the two. That'll help it sit more level in the water👍👍

[@kick_then_shift]

He just needs to put a tank on the other side with a bilge pump that he can fill with water or empty it.

[@kshepthedrummer]

@@kick_then_shift 2 connected fuel cells would be better and simpler. it'll always self balance, and you get more fuel capacity. win-win

[@kick_then_shift]

@kshepthedrummer there is zero reason to have that much fuel on board of that thing.

[@kshepthedrummer]

@@kick_then_shift Im not saying have it hold 40 gallons of gas, but 2 small cells would be perfect. and when I'm riding my jet ski, my fun time is limited to how much gas I have. and he has a 300-400 hp car engine that hes planning to run E85 in. there's been many times when I headed back to the dock before I was ready to call it a day due to being low on gas. having slightly more fuel than needed is never a bad thing in a boat.

[@kick_then_shift]

@kshepthedrummer he's got either a 15 or 20 gallon fuel cell already in it. He doesn't need more fuel. Your jetski has what a 6-10 gallon? Lol

Living in the pacific northwest, our fishing boats are the same design as these...whether ib/ob, outboard, or jet. My 17'6" with a heavy bottom and a 70hp suzuki outboard prop will run 43 mph so you arent far off with the added horsetorques and the loss of 30% from the pump! Our boats ride the same btw!

Antilag will bolw up the flapper and likely do a number on the cooling system. Not a good idea.

Never seen Kyle so happy about doing 54mph

[@ChrisG1392]

Regarding the ride height you have to remember that there's a massive amount of water getting sucked into the bottom of the boat just like cleeters race boat and on a short boat there's not much you can do to counter that outside of extending the intake down and then you no longer have a river capable boat

[@wrldgaming9818]

54mph on the water is pretty fast…

[@Adam-nv9zo]

@SirSloop yeah for sure. It's still just funny to me to see him excited about 54 mph. But I completely agree. I had a ski that would run about 65 mph, but it felt more like 120 mph.

[@kshepthedrummer]

@@Adam-nv9zo mine runs about 60. its crazy how fast slower speeds feel when you're on the water lol. I can't imagine what those crazy 1000hp jet skis they were riding a while back feel like

[@Adam-nv9zo]

@kshepthedrummer I know right. It probably feels like you're riding a rocket lol

[@ruikazane5123]

So it finally happened. Time to put the other impeller on there! Maybe add a speed sensor and make the FuelTech control your trim nozzle if it can be done too. Can't wait to see the airboat go in action!

[@nutdough]

Kyle, that intercooler you have is a CORK. You are leaving a lot of power on the table... Take advantage of the unlimited water supply by using a better water-to-air unit. Call JP and have him hook you up with a FIZZLE IC...either his F1000 unit, or the Original First Generation cooler. Either way, you will make more power with less boost... And plumb the water a little different, right now you are sending too much hot water from the exhaust to the turbo...After your sand filter, split the water line...One hose should go to your IC, then to your turbo water fitting...then dump to the exhaust fitting. That water will be cooler than the exhaust....And your exhaust, should have its own line. it can dump either to the exhaust or to a hull fitting...

My two favorites. This boat and the go cart. This is has to be the sickest boat I have ever seen. So curious what the build cost was.

[@rockwithme5346]

Total cost was around 2900 us dollars

[@mattketner7597]

The boat alone is like 6K+ with all the option they put into it. Then slapped a k-series into it and boosted it. And also had it professionally wrapped. I’m guessing like 15K-20K in total? I’m sure I’m way off, but I’m curious as well.

[@grantlewis7885]

@@mattketner7597 yea the shell was 2200 without shipping.

[@mattketner7597]

@@grantlewis7885 isn’t this the “10ft Headwater” model? It’s $4,600 CAD for a complete kit alone. Then they put like all the options I’m sure, like the Lexan Windshield, which is $850 alone. And then the welded hull alone is another $3250 CAD on top. Add the freight shipping cost to North America, and I’m sure you’re looking a pretty penny.

[@fauxque5057]

Turn key ready to go they run $40,000 to $60,000. Kits that you weld up are pretty reasonable and the option s dictate the cost. 1 stringer, 4 stringer, type of windshield, the walk through windshield, stomp grate or welded grate, it all adds to the price of the boat. Since they bought a 4 seater, prewelded, with many of the options, I'm guessing around $20,000 without the engine. You can buy used ones ready to go for around $15,000. Theres also a discount if you buy 2, 3, or more. I forgot the upper end jetdrive they went with. So I'm probably low at $20,000.

[@FluffyBusch]

Damn that thing is flying, I wonder what the weight difference is from Cleetes

[@octane613]

It's gotta be quite a bit. That engine and jet drive has gotta weigh at least twice as much as the small jet-ski setup in cleet's boat, so it's pretty impressive.

[@funnerthanbefore4947]

The music selection was spot on brother... Love ur vids guys... 🙂👍

[@mr.bitsbyte4664]

Seems like a piston upgrade is in order. Holding that engine at high RPMs for extended periods like that has to make em pretty toasty

[@mattcangie]

It's a little concerning that there's never any mention of safety upgrades as these rockets keep going faster and faster. I know it feels sissy but just in case of an under water, catastrophic failure, it might be a good idea to have some harnesses or noodles available. Looks super fun though.

[@Austoner421]

They wear fire suites at the track but not lifejackets on the boat. I always thought that was ironic. Lifejackets will save your life just like a seatbelt, harnes, HANS, or cage. Just look at what happed to Leo from SxSVlog the first time they rode with Cleet. You can never be too careful...

[@billypettit7132]

No harness in boats life vests lol harness in water = death

@@billypettit7132 Thanks for correcting my boating terminology. My concern remains the same.

[@krakhedd]

Make sure you got the right jet when you switch to E85 and 20psi, you might get nothing out of it and might even blow shit up if the jet starts cavitating badly

[@otm646]

It's all rpm based, as long as they stay under whatever the maximum rpm rating for that pump is they're fine. The housing is designed to flow that rate.

[@krakhedd]

@@otm646 yes but that's attached to the volume and mass of water it's flowing, which determines the HP requirement at whatever given RPM. So what's optimized for this setup won't be optimized for the E85 high boost cuz it'll be able to move a lot more water, but it'll need more pump to keep up the flow. But it's ok, Kyle mentioned something in the video about it, he knows 🤘

[@Guythatfishes]

I'm calling it now. The Jet boat does 58-60 on 18/20lbs on E85.

[@newtonfirefly3584]

With which E-85 are You supposing and guessing, 'guestimating' these results ? local, fuel, filling station, 'pump' version "E-85", which is commonly 40% ethanol upt to 55%, in warmer temperatures up to 65% in some locations or proper, true E-85=85% ethanol = racing C-85 or something in between ?? It seems that Your "guestimates" are incorrect - how so ? if currently using 'pump fuel' with 10 lbs boots achieves 54 MPH, and each 1 lb increase of boost increased 1 MPH, then to achieve 60 MPH is 6+ MPH, such the boost would also increase 6+ lbs =>thus, 16 lbs boost would result in 60 MPH, 14 lbs MPH would achieve 58 MPH, 18 lbs boost achieves 62 MPH, 20 lbs boost achieves 64 MPH. Then adding the improved power with the use of ethanol increases from there, each result including from lower through higher boost levels. Good Luck Sincerely

100% do something to trim the thing to ride on the stern of the hull. Way less resistance and it will give major results for top end without needing extra power. 54mph, yes on the water in a small boat that is proper quick. My bone stock 17 footer with a propeller and a v6 stern drive, it weighs probably 9 times as much, but it will sit on the 4800rpm limiter all day and do 60mph. Only trimmed right. Its a 220hp. Nothing fancy, but its licenced for 7 adults.
