Refinishing a 300hp supercharged mini jet-boat. night and day difference.

We take a grinder to the outside of my 4 seat jetstream mini jetboat to grind a pattern into it. It goes good and bad. We also rebuild a lot of the systems on the boat and outfit with eva foam!

You better name that damn boat the JIBBER-JABBER

[@wilderstewart9917]

With muppet Taylor on the hood lol

[@typurp]

SS Jibber Jabber

[@gabrielpoudrier4664]

Would be nice at the back like a big boat 😮

[@nathonguiland2699]

Yes

[@CharmBlood5]

I hope so

[@tripod6406]

Taylor, some unsolicited advice, when it comes to you electrical bits and pieces, the pack outs, keep them out of direct sunlight, because any air in there will condensate and your electronics will get wet, I found this with my fishing equipment, and camera batteries, with the clear top, just turns it into an air condenser and soaks everything inside, I hope that helps.

[@tmdacr04]

Or keep desiccant pouches inside the pack outs

[@jarrod2254]

Silica packs is a easy fix

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

@@tmdacr04 yup the reusable ones are awesome, last 6 months in my gun safe during humid ass summer and a few minutes in the oven and theyre back to new again

[@billmadison2032]

Where is Sandy we need more Sandy we want the cat

[@thewitt76]

Yeah where's SANDY? I lost my sandy goody to my daughter and she wore it to the hospital today for her surgery, it's cold in there, and I was thinking about her

That portable packout repair kit is legit the best part of this video. I am using this as my own!! Thank you Taylor Ray

[@thelifeofjp1996]

Here's an idea , maybe truck bed liner spraying the boat?

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

gross

[@dfacedxa]

This was what i was hoping he would do when he started describing next steps. Probably easy to touch up when needed as well

[@Kodiak660]

That would make it a royal pain to load and unload on the trailer.

[@hemidaytona2378]

"Engine-Turned" is the description that you are looking for... Old school treatment for dashboards and other metal panels in cars, boats and planes.

[@foxbatmotorsports]

Also known as Jeweling.

[@huckhuckhuck]

At this point, I feel like you should have just done your own boat build from scratch.

[@JuPac420]

Jose is such an MVP

[@achikennugget38]

You could probably mount the lights behind the windshield! I've seen off road truck people mount light bars inside the cab to keep the lights from whistling when driving. Gotta seal it with some plastic/edge trim to not get any glare though

[@wilderstewart9917]

Yo! Maybe tack a tab to the center of the dent and use a comealong to yank it out?

[@tim_fogle]

This dude has what most people make annually JUST in Milwaukee pack-out boxes and accessories.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

for real

[@Madagon367]

Awesome for the other guys when riding in a group. They bring beer and snacks. Taylor brings a hundred pound of tools plus he can fix stuff.

[@ectobluntus]

Taylor, the first step to recovery is admitting you have a packout problem!

[@sawyerwallace9631]

Packouts in the mini jetboat are the move! I run them in my mini jetboat and will never go back.

Alright Mr Taylor Ray, love the shed, love the boat, REALLY love the bus!! But I'm ready to see that rx 7 get sent! I want to see 1/4 mile Taylor be realised.

Thanks for being consistent with content

[@dainperrault585]

These videos, so satisfying, getting all the bits tidy up and coming up with creative solutions for the actual practical use

[@tytymill]

For reference, there is a product called “Goof-Off” at Home Depot that I use for all paint/adhesive/skeeze remover.

[@b_baker]

Since you have been so consistent with the posts Ill have to let it slide that you've been neglecting all the other badass automotive projects that are on deck. As always love the content, hope to see that vette out soon, and hope to see something badass get built!!!

[@EagleRun23]

TBH i really enjoyed the shop builds, but i like the car/boat builds too!

[@MikeRay1978]

I use that tall pack out box for my mobile wiring tools. I travel for a living and don’t usually have to do a ton of wiring but man it’s nice to have everything in one place that I can take anywhere.

[@kevinsantiago9760]

wrap that wavy panel in the rear and it'll look mint

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

"Engine turning/jewel turning" a jet boat is something i NEVER would've expected....i LOVE it though!! Also "Goof Off" or "Goo Gone" will remove that sticky stuff. Also put Dessicant packs in those packouts(you can get reusable ones cheap)

[@covertsolid1]

Just for future reference, they make a hot knife for cutting foam, you would probably want to do it outside but there are some cheap ones on Amazon for like $80. I used to work in a body shop years back, for the big hull dents you could weld a tab to the low spot and either clamp onto it or drill a hole in it for a hook and go at it with your slide hammer. You would probably want to heat it like you were doing. Once you get the panel back in shape you just have to cut the tab off and tune it up with a flap disk. Love the channel man keep it up!

[@WexWerxScott]

Damn bro! That's a lotta work on the mini jet! Nice work with the packouts!

[@kevinwilliams563]

Perlage looks pretty good on the boat. First time I have seen it on a boat.

[@petersantoro5323]

The die grind looks great

[@Jakexgt1979]

Maybe a roll cage. You could mount so many things to it and it would help protect those in the back. Maybe the add a shade. Also you could add some of the roll cage on the side of the boat to help protect front trees, like rock sliders for jeeps.

[@lunchbox517]

Polished shows every imperfection great choice 😂

[@joker4g63tt4]

I've been doing mechanic work for 30 years and never switched to battery tools except for a snap on zip gun. But a good quality air tool will last you a life time if you use airtool oil and keep the seals oiled.

[@blksrsil]

Creature comfort suggestion, add some sea deck to the top of the small pack outs so your passengers legs aren't getting destroyed bouncing off of them

[@proudpennsylvaniaman7996]

Please move the sticker table under the window and the welding table where the sticker table is.

[@vwclub3]

Funny hearing when deep in the woods when talking about a boat

[@JeffSlover]

Nice to see the 1500 in the garage, i'm hoping it's time for a cage, and some weight loss! Boat looks good, that super tall Packout box is a nice find, now that I know they have those I want to track them down.

[@jamest5149]

Put the air box lid on a hinge with a stay so you just have to open it for noise or close for quiet…. Could add a Bowden cable so you can do it quickly from the dash without having to open the back 👍

[@houseofmine]

loved the bandaid

[@josh3299]

You’ve always been a Milwaukee guy, and I remember when they sent you tools way back when you were wrenching in your garage with your roommate who built that Ram Charger…. Can’t remember his name! All that to say, you could get your name written in Milwaukee-style font and put it on the side of the boat! Might make great merch too! Or get Garage Built Co printed in that font. Stoked to see the shop and all the growth you’ve experienced! I’ve been watching since the Miata was red and ate pancake syrup! lol

[@justindavis311]

Would be a good idea to mount the milwaukee packout half cooler between the rear seats and then the pack out tumbler lock in for when you go crazy

[@airwatercooled]

look at that clean shop. sharp!

[@zakmartin9668]

Just DA the sides with 120 grit. It’ll leave a uniform surface.

[@MrRee-kn4xd]

You should mount some kind of light in the engine compartment. A floodlight would be handy in case of emergency too under there.

[@TheFishingfool25]

We use MEK or Toluene at my work to eat adhesive. Work like a charm. Just spray it down, then use a scraper or razor blade to get it off.

[@wrexz]

Dry bags for boats were invented for a reason lol I hope you have better luck with the pack out system

[@myurcek05]

I think to get the best results for the machine finish you are going for, you should sand the aluminum to 320 to make the scratches as even as possible before the die grinder polish stage.

[@dog2bert]

You can 3d print latches with labels for the packouts

[@toddsupraman7609]

If you tig weld some tabs to the outside of the boat were the dent is and then use a nice big slide hammer, you will be able to straighten it out and then remove the tabs

[@Brandonscode]

Larger circles on larger uneven surfaces. And use an interface pads before the sandpaper to get deeper into dents and make the look not dented. I did this a whole stainless jet boat. Took me two weeks. But dang. It was worth it. I did 7inch pad racing stripe even. The diff sizes have suck a cool effect.

[@jamest5149]

Make some alloy/nylon nudge bars for bow to add some strength and have a sacrificial bumper

[@jameslastname9171]

Foam tools should go in merch orders!

[@Epsonblade]

Machine turning, better known in the firearms industry as "Jeweling"... Pretty cool idea and very different than what you see.

[@DELirious97]

Petrol and an old rug on stubborn glue and tar works a treat

[@moparmarley]

If there is not enough friction to hold the items in the foam, just add a layer to the lid to sandwich everything in place.

[@channeling27]

That shop is so awesome

[@stensg]

Should do another biger packout like you have under the hood as a center council for the front seats if theres room

[@jamesyeakey9409]

Kerosene to take off adhesive on metal. Lighter fluid on paint. Both have worked for me.

[@hedrives]

Mighty big toolbox.

[@johnv9854]

You should add Dzus fastners for the floor boards and some quick release seat brackets..

[@ColbyJohnson]

For that large dent in the front, ive used the chief long barrel air hammer to shape metal

[@yutub561]

I did the same finish on my kitchen sink lol. Have to redo it every couple years but it looks nice

[@lelandstanford9534]

Should have Acid washed it then sand it down with 320 grit to a matt finish

[@TKAero711]

If you ever do it again you could try to use a laser lever to get all of the circles at the exact same height

[@stimothy9396]

Goo-gone works good for tough adhesives

[@Soundguy79]

That’s a good looking shop, ever think about racing out of it?

[@whoisjohnlamb]

do something with the ramps for the 4 post lift. It will look way better

[@TheReeves2236]

Shocked Taylor didn’t pull out a laser to keep straight

[@Vorgto]

Bought a garage with 220 and a large two stage compressor. I need to collect a ton of air tools as well, so please please test them out for me first! haha

[@magblevins]

Using air tools especially for extended times you need to regularly put some tool oil in the port to keep them lubed

[@magblevins]

Every 30min to hour under continuous use

[@apexedmedia]

The clear tops Yellow in the sun and melt things inside.. we found that out in Pit road working for Dale Coyne Indy car team

[@Brtmyster]

I have a question guys. Why doesn't Taylor have 2M followers? Spread the word. Tell your friends. This young man is very good. He's quite the innovator. He's a fabricator. He has talent and skill. Let's go get this man to the top boys.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

too long and in depth, very few guys like him get huge traffic sadly.

[@stevemccauley5734]

Because he’s not controversial. Controversy gets the big number of viewers & subscribers. Look at guys like Whistlin’ Diesel. A lot of people hate him. That’s why he’s so damn rich. Cleetus is sort of the same. He’s always got comedy bits he’s doing.

[@michaelswanson7881]

The first thing I do with a new air tool is fill it with PTFE dry-lube and let it sit for 24 hours, the fibre viens and bearings last ten times longer, and you only need to oil all your air tools once a week. This is using them every day as a fibreglass contractor.

[@rei39]

kaizen foam sells those foam inserts precut for every size packout just fyi. it saves a lot of time and is a perfect fit

[@jamest5149]

You can run air-tools all day, every day but you need to add a few drops of air tool lubricant at least at the start of the day

[@johngrant1337]

nice job .thanks

[@red88ization]

best put a heat shield on that box if you intend on it being box shaped when you open the engine bay to use it

[@richardfarmer6570]

I used to live in Florida and know what those downpours are like, they can get intense.

[@TheFastfoodgaming]

I've always been one to scoff at the Packout guys at job sites, but you're starting to sell me on them.

[@just-a-waffle]

3M has adhesive remover spray that might help knock out that sticker residue

[@darinonetime8352]

Three 6 Mafia Late Night Tip

[@ZapLabs]

If the passengers in the back are wearing PFDs, you don't need as much cushion on the boat. Your are wearing it. Especially good to wear when getting rowdy.

[@justinperdue3657]

i thought you were going to use the truck bedliner on it. It might be a good idea im not sure how it would hold up, though

[@califoniarunning]

Use lacquer thinner for adhesive removing. Not on paint those. Aluminum is fine.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Damn nice boat !

[@technerdy]

good reminder to oil your air tools 😃

[@tommyhavoctv3350]

Also you should really “stone” your welding table, then keep it clean with the stone. Look it up, you may thank me later. If not, no hard feelings lol. But it’s easy and maintains flatness

[@djstizl]

You're not worried about melting the box being that close to a supercharged engine?

[@richknudsen5781]

I predict the next video will be Taylor stacking that toy boat into a swamp tree at wide open throttle. Should be an epic crash.

[@craigfiles7067]

You need a bottle of Goo Gone to remove adhesive residue .

[@eag8999]

Rapid Remover will easily remove that adhesive

[@four20jt]

You should see if you could put the lights under the window behind the glass at the top

[@davessparetime83]

The trick is to angle the sanding pads and make half circles and overlap.

[@proudpennsylvaniaman7996]

Get a cover for the boat an it's tires an keep it outside...it literally goes in the water. Under your lean-to outback with the covers it would be fine and not take up shop space

[@Desecration1204]

damn bro the boat is looking nice AF.......

[@thomasmortinger4842]

You should have Milwaukee sponsor your boat pay for Rhino Lining the whole thing and put their logo on it

[@PGHdrift]

Boats are cool af

[@DavidBlum425]

Pelican cases would make more sense. Pressure release valve, and come with pluckable foam.

[@jarrod2254]

3m makes a roloc yellow with bristles, that and brake clean will get any stickers off

[@michaelswanson7881]

Sticker residue ? WD-40!

[@jeromenoble5496]

Wd-40 but you will need to clean if off.

[@billybarber1128]

Hi the seat look real nice
