Great video! The reversed skeg might make for a interesting experiment. Is the right way the wrong way 😀 Running the engine with the drive trimmed up is not recommended thou ;-)

[@FreezyAbitKT7A]

I am sure you are famous somewhere. I don't care what you do in your real life. Finish the Enigma...the kids are getting old

[@mattborgic7554]

One of my favorite content creatures on the You Tubes. Keep up the good work my friend!

[@Motiv8Labs]

Thanks! Just having fun working on stuff with the gang and filming it, thanks for watching!

[@wolfparty4234]

Hey buddy..! 13:50 the SS sleigh on the bottom of the lower drive is backwards. No biggy, just sayin💪🏼🙏🏻❤️👍🏻

[@Motiv8Labs]

Dang, good eyes! That shows how sloppy we got at the end running low on sleep. I can't believe not one of us noticed that. Thanks!

[@jamesgarrison8666]

People that can do it all are rare, thanks for sharing your skills!

[@Motiv8Labs]

I appreciate that!

Man I man the super cricket is alive!!! But this time, no turbo?

[@Motiv8Labs]

Figured keeping it reliable instead of breaking down so much might be a new thing to try at Texoma.

Ricky was setting up the fuel pump for Regen so it can compete with those electric boats 🤣

How do you feel like the paint looks And how do you think it will hold up

[@Motiv8Labs]

It looks “ok” I’d say. Nothing like a good sprayed on paint job, but it’s glossy. We’ll see by the end of the summer how it looks after being in 110 degree sun for a couple months.

[@dumpsterfire6351]

You wrote that he put “carb” upside down 🤭 Id like to see that sh*t

[@superstitiousfishes1247]

great video. what is your engineering background? i try to comment on your vids to help with the algo reach.

[@Motiv8Labs]

Thank you! Computer Science in school but mainly just tearing stuff apart over the years and trying my best to fix it, so I'm not officially qualified for any of this.

[@BoondockingCajunstyle]

Camera or reverse is forward?

[@Motiv8Labs]

I noticed that too, must be the frame rate of the camera making it look like it's going the opposite way.

[@nachomamaband]

Don't you think it's time to get back to the Nautaline?

[@Motiv8Labs]

On it!

[@nachomamaband]

I'm excited.

[@panamafishingbass]

Little knock in that engine

[@TheStephenspann27]

First !

[@Motiv8Labs]

Hope you're still holding your own down South man!

@@Motiv8Labs yessir, still getting out on the water as much as I can. I have a 2009 Yamaha FZR as my main jet ski, I'll be taking PTO and riding tomorrow.
