Well done. Neat project. My dad had a jet boat from the time I was about 10. 19’ 1973 Carlson Glastron CV-19 455 Oldsmobile engine. He replaced the pump with another Berkeley pump don’t recall the mode numbers but it came from a drag boat that burned down. The pump on he outside or the transom was longer and a little lower and the pitch was adjustable. That gave us between 15-20mph from the more efficient pump and getting more of the boat out of the water. So from like 52-55mph to about 70-75mph. Then the engine was rebuilt with 10:1 forged dishes pistons and a large Crowler cam and the better of the iron head factory castings and it made great power and that got us to around 90. That engine lasted about 3 seasons of super hard running. Lots of people raced then at Indian Lake Ohio. But even with a much lesser engine it still goes 70s because of that excellent pump.

Great effort to build and then tearing apart so you can rebuild. The model you crested it's a great one. In stead to cut it off you could make a mold from the boat and then make it from carbon fibre so you can enjoy the fruit of your labour selling the hull to people how appreciate your boat design , like I do.

Try looking up "bellows coupling" those couplers are extremely tolerant to misallingment and also very rigid.

Just so you know you do have what you need to make a centered coupler. All you have to do is put that coupler in the drill chuck. mount a drill bit in a vice and turn the part rather than the drill bit. Effectively turning you drill press into a hack rod lathe. Only thing is your limited to the size of your Chuck on your drill press as to how large a part you can drill.

[@MatthewWathen]

Put a taper on your nozzle to increase thrust. For a reference, look at jetski nozzles.

[@jameshansen1903]

Three words: *_Helical Shaft Couplers_* You're welcome.

[@bradleyland]

^^ This. Coupling two shafts perfectly coaxially is mega hard. You would have needed to couple the motor and drive unit outside the boat on a very well made set of mounting rails (that include fine adjustments), then glue the entire mounting system in as a single unit. That's why no one bothers doing it! You just use a non-ridged coupler that accommodates non-coaxial rotation.

[@revimfadli4666]

How do helicals compare to rubber spiders though?

[@kroan49]

They can snap pretty easily with enough torque

[@donell51000]

You are funny and clever. So much fun to watch. Hope you get millions of subscribers.

To drill perfectly centred holes with a drill press, mount the drill in the vise, and the workpiece in the drill.

[@mrphonephreak]

I think if you shrink the exit nozzle diameter by 10 - 15% it will increase your acceleration and top speed. Just a thought. Great vid.

[@robertmoorej]

Idk if you read these or not ...... but i have a project idea for you .... That little buggy you pull around......I've seen you fight with that thing often. I think you should put a motor on that thing. high torque, low speed...a slow walking pace. Put a free wheel sprocket on it like a bicycle (amazon 12$) and the right gear ratio would keep it slow and controllable without the need for a variable throttle, but would still have tons of power to the wheels. A simple push button a Continuous Duty Solenoid Relay, so you don't burn the coil. (amazon 14$) Just for times when you are dragging it across the sand or something. The free wheel would allow you to still pull with your eboard at higher speeds.

[@boepointrX]

I'm not sure if i did see right at 1:13, but if the fins (dont know if this is the correct english word for it) are straigt, you have a bad efficy on the jet. The Impeller doesnt only increasy speed of the water, it also brings a spin into it. The spin later on can be converted into pressure. The fins reduce the velocity of the spin (which become 0), which gives you more pressure. So, what do you do with this pressure? You let it run thru a nozzle, to increase the speed of the outcoming water. With starting from trial and error i started calculating what actual is needed.

[@kingofstuff1732]

Hands down, the hardest part of making an RC boat is the freakin coupler.

[@anthonyxuereb792]

For me it's the alignment that's difficult, couplers I can buy, but getting the two shafts spot-on is not easy.

[@johansundman8221]

@@anto_1446 yea sure but it would be limited to the length of the cable unfortunately. I think he should try the ultrasonic communications instead. It could probably be done with two arduinos, two ultrasonic transducers and maybe some amplifier module. Wouldn't it be awesome if he could receive some sort of image in real time from the submarine as he controls it and because it's controlled by an arduino it could just be programmed to resurface if the signal is lost.

I noticed you attempting to make couplers one a few videos and I wondered if you ever considered using gears instead of a couple. Since the Rv8 motors can rev you may even be able to gear it down to a torquier ratio than 1:1. Don’t know if the gear will hold up great if printed but you can always widen the teeth quite a bit to account for gear tooth surface area
