Testing my MINI boat on thin ICE

You may have seen this boat in some of my KZbin shorts. I found it a few weeks ago half sunken underwater and recovered it after a storm. Well, the bay has frozen over and I want to see if I can build a motor to get across the thin ice. I tried a couple different motors and "wheels" to see if I could get it to go faster. In the end I feel like this boat may not be the best ice scooter, so I guess I'll have to figure out what this boat's purpose really is.

Use a tiller

[@susieq8924]

I just love the fact that you are grown up and still willing to take the time to act like a kid! This was a project after my own heart, even though it didn’t work. Give a little bit more time in the think box and I’m sure you can make it work! At least for something❤ thank you I needed that!

[@newphone890]

Never let go being a kid and ul never feel old

[@ytadmin]

"Started with something that worked and spent all day making something that doesn't work at all." Dude, trust me, you learned more than you think you did.

[@chriswalford4161]

Isn’t that the story of so many projects!

[@S.Lang7]

You: Standing by a frozen river: Me: Sitting on my couch holding a cup of coffee. You : We ain’t scared to swim! Me: That’s right, not one bit! We can totally do this!

[@jamessandman3708]

Ha ha ha ha!! Yep!!!

[@kittymervine6115]

I'm not kidding my great grandfather drove a horse and carriage over some part of the frozen Chesapeake as a bet. He won the bet and thank goodness, or I would never have been born. I love the Pixie!

[@DougBlackwood]

That was worth the 19min break in my day!!! LOL I was cringing so much with the saw blade!!! Keep these videos coming!!!

[@jimratliff2753]

Luke, Coming from California, I literally love having my morning coffee and laughing my butt off viewing your videos on your adventures, expeditions, experimentations and treasure hunts! This one is funny as living hell, as usual. You are one unique cat dude! Keep doing what you do - our World is overdue for more people like you to give us happy times and funny experiences!

[@fvsoutherngirl]

Thank you for watching!!

[@bearbottomvlogs2932]

I can’t agree with you enough on that!!!!

[@marksadventures976]

Never a dull video with Luke McFadden. 😂

[@agmood]

I love that the larger version of the Pixie is the "Econo-Dink" 😂

[@thebreadedcrab4252]

The fact that he thinks a rototiller is a snowblower is hilarious LOL

This is the best "For Science" channel I've found at least in a long time lol keep up the great work.

[@rubetube4727]

These guys are beasts. You see the Trash Wheel?

[@codyw8783]

@@rubetube4727 I’m not actually sure.. I found this channel like a month or two ago

[@jacobe9187]

This is the only acceptable one frl

[@bpd231martinko9]

An old sketchy looking saw on salt water with AC voltage powering it- What could go wrong? My favorite part is after he goes out to sea he learns that it actually turns too! Love your enthusiasm!

[@jamessandman3708]

"I'm more interested in Danger!!" Ha ha ha ha a ha!!!!! I fricking love this guy!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂😂

[@colinklang]

I'm enjoying Luke's scientific endeavors. God bless Lindsey.

[@rshock]

This kid is crazy 😂 very innovative and talented but damn he has the kahoneys to do anything he puts his mind to. Well done!

[@saw6436]

When I was 12 years old, our neighbor gave me that exact same make skiff. I had incredible days fishing with it in our neighborhood lake outside Athens Georgia. Brought back great memories.

[@t.ticklesfpv]

Thanks for another great video! Big love from the west coast of Canada. Looking Forward to all your success this years crabbing and youtube season!

[@jasonkalynuik760]

Lol, you can sure make me laugh dude. Awesome set up.I love the guy in the back working on his boat. He's watching you guys and thinking WTF lmao.

[@daophan3709]

Shoes for the boat. Skateboards. Ice skates. Skiing.

[@markroper9269]

You should have tried a paddle wheel made of ice skate blades....wait, how about hacksaw blades?! The mind boggles at the possibilities!!! Have a great weekend!!

[@chrisparsons7130]

You have a great sense of humor!! Every tool is called a hammer!!

[@brianforaker1160]

When the crabbing off season is in full swing, the child comes out in all of us. That was great. I loved every minute of that video

[@kick_then_shift]

Turn it into a jetboat. Seat with a steering wheel upfront. Jetski motor with jetdrive out the back. That thing would fly!

[@MrSir-wp3fr]

We need a Q&A video. First couple of questions. How did you meet the wife? How do have such a gem of a marina? How did you start fishing?

[@scottmccullough4267]

Love the big ass channel lock’s referred to as the hammer! 😂🤣😂

I enjoy this style of content that you make on, building stuff and testing it :D

[@joelambert1243]

Name it "Toad". Because that's probably the best way to get it from place to place on the water.

[@davekimbler2308]

Back in the 40's they made a motor called a Scratcher for ice boats they used big chain gears , the rototiller would work if you made a transom bracket and a smaller 2 stroke motor , the tines would push you along !

[@richardjames9314]

Use it at the crab stand to sell drinks. Maybe even stand it on it's end and add shelves for merchandise.

[@farmerkevin]

Incredibly smart and stupid at the same time. I love it. Keep them coming. * side note... my nickname in high school was Big Nut.

[@daophan3709]

Cold hands. Pockets inside. Rubs cold hands. Lighter. Gasoline. Sticks of wood. Burn. Heater.

[@jamessandman3708]

I have not laughed that hard in a long time!! Damn I miss being young and crazy!! Thanks Luke!

[@Eric-gi9kg]

Your wife married a man with a little kids heart.. Absolutely Love these crazy ideas. If you could figure out how to get a ball that was super grippy to mount to the trolling motor.. Or something oval with teeth. Add steel runners to the bottom.. like iceskates

[@danaridings6387]

You are so much like my son! He does things like this all the time. I love you haven’t lost the kid in you!

[@TooManyHobbies]

10 seconds in, absolutely sketchy and I love it!!

[@LeviLee88]

The little Dipper, seeing how that thing will dip off on ya 😂

[@VincentNajger1]

One of those small ground tillers way work better? Or possibly just a wheel on the outboard rather than a prop, except youd have to mount it sideways....and then drill a heap of roofing screws into the tyre for some bite on the ice. I approve of this madness.....it gives me a visceral feeling of happiness deep in my loins, which I have girded appropriately. Edit: I should have watched the entire vid before I commented haha. What can I say....a man after my own heart. This madness is fantastic and I'm here for it all. It's been well over 35°c here in Australia...I will swap you that freezing weather in a second flat!

[@WayneTheBoatGuy]

Whatever you name the little boat it should be such a long name that it doesn't fit across the transom

[@Dani1165]

If there was an OSHA equivalent for life in general, Luke would go bankrupt from all the fines. But I'm sure he'd say worth it, lol.

[@kieranpalmer9045]

little boat needs a name. how about the "adora-belle"

[@daophan3709]

Circularlike saw good great size surface area. The second smaller circularsaw does not appear to work because too small surface area against the frozen water ice cut to slush.

[@davidhearrell5598]

Four pounds of c-4, one rifle shot, then POW!!! Now, that's science.

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

Im not done watching yet but that rototiller brought back memories. My neighbor had one real similar, i got it running for them years ago. The tines spun the same direction as the tires do to move forward. I took many "high speed" runs across our garden testing it out. Lol The tines spun at least twice as fast as the tires did 😂

[@ceerstar851]

I'm here for all this sketch 😂😂😂

[@josephwolf5625]

You need a wide tooth gear at the end twice as wide as the blade you have on there and if you could modify runners for the bottom it might work

[@RobertmGeorge]

You need to try mounting a big shop fan on the back of it. Make a tiny airboat!

[@daophan3709]

Lanyards. Hammers. If you fall into frozen water ice and if you cannot swim out die. Go in frozen water ice as a party and calls the cops before during after.

[@otrdriver5917]

That is the perfect boat for blue cats.

[@fright_nike09]

Use a small tire with studs you can connect it right to the troll motor with some welding would work pretty good I think

[@daophan3709]

Fourth worker to help lift the thing onto the truck.

[@daophan3709]

Circular saw breaks the frozen water ice into mush then water cold near frozen but not frozen underneath.

[@GreysonRoberts]

Haha yessss mini boats are the best boats

[@joshuambean]

Thank you for your contributions to science. The world is a better place because of your very important work.

[@gpslightlock1422]

You need a dado blade set on there for more traction!

[@stevenl34]

Mount a couple of leaf blowers on the back. It will work like jet engines

[@DougB00]

The fact that you had accomplice involved in this priceless…

[@andrewbeetz2196]

Your an innovator, the divinci of the dirty dena

[@japenjosh80]

You should Make/Put One those home-made Jet intake Engines on the Lil Weebs, Make it like a HOVER craft that would go in inches of water!

[@lovinglife69]

It's what I call a BATH TUB 🛀 *THE BATH TUB* EDIT: Paint it lime green like Lindsey's kayak and go kayaking with her 💚😊💚

[@gregpayette365]

A cooler sounds like a great idea for that little boat.

[@daophan3709]

Frozen water ice skates underneath stack boat. Skating frozen water ice skates.

[@tahoefisher5988]

How about a crab cleaning video? Everybody seems to clean them a different way.

[@jujuhowell4594]

Y’all are crazy as hell but yall have a lot of fun.

[@sailawaybob]

Way back in the 60's we had a summer place at the lake one of the neighbor kids had a similar boat about that size with a 18 hp Evinrude , we called it a flipper boat and it would fly down the lake.

[@microskiffadventures]

Looks Ike a perfect candidate for a "crabbers wheelbarrow"

[@daophan3709]

Ice skates. Resistance friction frozen water ice. You want ice skates.

[@daophan3709]

The spinning disk could fall off and spin to you. Shut the door to catch the spinning blade.

[@billjamison2877]

YOUR IMAGINATION IS SECOND TO NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HILARIOUS

[@daophan3709]

Always alls checks your calculations? ? "Show me." "Show us all as soon as possible."

[@squiggyg.8415]

Greatest KZbin video ever… power tools, science minus Physics equals comedy genius 😎 No Band-Aids or LifeFlight… complete success

[@duboisj21x35]

I love the fact he has a electricity on the water so if the ice break and it capside hes gonna get shocked

[@speedmachine69]

This kind of ingenuity will get you talent scouted by Space X

[@jasond7229]

Ice is too soft rite now, but that gear idea seemed to work, you should have added ice skates to the bottom

[@ericneering6357]

Put a couple PVC pontoons on the side of it and I think it needs a 35 horse ski motor

[@kyleousley6624]

That old Troy built horse tiller is worth some money

[@daophan3709]

Frozen water ice skates. Underneath boat. Frozen water ice.

[@chuckbixler3570]

Its not Sketchy if if it works. If you don't at least try you will never know 😊

[@marshabrown8337]

"Luke's Adventure" Adventure on!!

[@ericgregory3005]

A mini RC, not lobster catcher, but crawfish catcher.

[@craign7995]

You need a drive wheel similar to a front throwing lawn mower. Make it from a bunch of sprockets welded/bolted together. It would be wide enough (about 1ft wide) to get traction and heavy enough to stay on the ice without effort on your part. Get an electric motor that can drive it tho. I don't think the trolling motor will move it. A lawn mower engine would.

[@OG-Crime29]

Take me wakeboarding. I bet that 6 could get me up…

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

18:24 little bot name, the little tub 😅

[@Chiptaker419]

Next season, use it for the boat back up challenge

This is like an episode of a 1000 ways to day

[@paulluo4104]

Needs Lindsey reviews Luke's videos video. That would be entertaining.

[@Z-Ack]

Make the boat the front skee for a dirt bike.. like mount the forks to the boat with the asd end hanging out.. be a water bike.. boat bike.. boaterbike..

Hey dude turn that into a jacuzzi tub for you new bride , I think that might be your best prospect for this tub !😅😂

“A tiny bathtub” Ok bud WHAT KINDA BATHS YOU TAKIN?

[@FluffyWubkins]

Rotating spiked drum you know you wanna try it 😮

[@gunnartikka9287]

U should build it into a replica of the southern girl!😂

[@AloneIsntLonely]

Dude youre so cool and so smart! Im so impressed with your knowledge! I love all your little adventures. If you ever need an extra hand i wouldnt mind coming from texas to help you. You wouldnt have to pay me. I would go just to learn! Blessings

[@shawnjohnson2840]

try a sprocket on the trolling motor or a wheel with studs on it. pretty interesting though

[@daophan3709]

Why not pre reposition the truck below the slope below the thing to be carried? ?

[@quarlow1215]

Put a big propeller on it and make it an airboat. Florida everglades style.

[@robertmoody2221]

I grew up doing stuff like this on boats . You don’t know until you try.

[@jayjohnson9668]

If it was just COMPLETELY different it might work!!!🤣🤣🤣
