Great job on the mini-jetboat and on everything you guys do. Weird question, in the video there is a beautiful shot of the wind blowing through the trees on the property with the tree house. My question is what is it like up in the treehouse in wind like that? It must be moving around a bunch. It would be wicked cool if you got a shot from the treehouse in the wind. Keep up the Awesomeness and Cheers! \m/,

I kind of quit watching your videos for a while after like last year or the year before that when you guys went on the Overland trip and your third person can't remember his name started destroying everybody's Vehicles out in the middle of nowhere. I mean how disrespectful is that even though somebody says yeah jump on it give it hell oh, you are still in the middle of nowhere with no way to repair any of the damages that your third person would have done. And yet he still decided to get on there and tear up if I remember right to people's equipment that wasn't even his own. So I have been checking in on your videos because I like your content and notice you have a new guy. Hopefully this new guy is not as disrespectful to other people's property as your last guy was. Hopefully I'm not going crazy and talking crap and it's still the same guy LOL but I'm pretty sure just putting a mustache on the old guy would not make him a different person hahahahaha. So as long as content keeps going towards the creation side and not towards destroying other people's property in the middle of nowhere I am all!
I've never actually seen someone wearing a boat before...

This channel and their builds perfectly represents every person who has either attempted to build, dreamed of building or successfully built “useless” toys that do nothing other than bring joy to their owners and those who appreciate the craftsmanship and creativity! It’s so relatable to folks who when building something, people say to them “what’s the point?” Or “is that really necessary to have?”…. Then they see the finished product and scream…. I FREAKING WANT ONE!!!!

This is premium living right here. Running your own machine shop, having mini fun on a lake and filming it.
Dudes, this is so much the water equivalent of every ridiculous power wheels you've ever built, and y'all got it ripping on the first try! I just love seeing the learning curve of everyone who drove it throughout the session. Everyone was sending it SO HARD towards the end. But I guess if you have nothing to crash into, it's gonna be fuller than full send!
"I'm going to smooth this out and polish it with the die grinder" Immediately proceeds to use the 4" death wheel 🤣 Amazing stuff as always bois!
When you’re forging new ground, “thingy” is a technical term. It’s not quite a whatchamacallit or a doohickey but it’s still technical.
I love that it's double skinned for extra buoyancy and that even with a full bilge, it supports 3 people, and the motor / electrics didn't fail after being soaked. What a great machine, well done guys.
This is definitely one of my favorite builds. But I'm calling it now, in maybe one or two more videos, someone is gonna stuff it and bounce their face off of that windshield frame lol. Having to wear a helmet out on the water would suck, so y'all might wanna consider some padding there or something.

You guys never cease to amaze me on the things that you make and the technology of the stuff you make.
This is an amazing build to watch but word of advice, waverunners suck up around a 3x3 area in the water and do not take kindly to shallow waters so it is suggested that you push it out farther before starting. Love the videos though and I look forward to the next project!!

This thing turned out pretty rad man! One thing I see when you get on the throttle the bow bounces because the pump coming out of water. I used to work Chris Hagest the designer and manufacturer of the ProForce hull, one thing I learned from him to counter that nose bounce it to extend the ride plate, the purple plate you reinforced, it essentially give the boat extra length to balance and plane on. Awesome work on the intake grate and pump stuffer, making that intake as smooth as possible! Awesome build man

What a build! I'm amazed by the skill that goes into this. I saw you blasting on the water but without a seatbelt and a sturdy aluminum bar right at face level when you lean forward I think it's a good idea to wear a helmet that covers those pearly whites. Keep up the good work!

This thing is rad! Sealing around the engine cover might help keep some of the splash out of the engine bay. I’d also recommend some foam around the top of the windshield - one good wave and someone is getting a visit from the tooth fairy for sure.

cant be too sealed motors gotta breathe! perhaps copying or getting a 750sx snorkel/intake to put up on the bow would be wise. then you can seal it all you want, and the faster it goes the more air it gets if its done right.

Great metal work and very clever, the boat looks like a lot of fun.

Yoo this thing is craaaazy! Got to be one of the coolest builds, I can't get over how small it is and how much uumph its got, and it's so nimble! That looks like such a blast to ride around in! Killer work!
That's pretty flippin good. I think you need to smooth the insides of the intake a bit more where there are still angular transitions but you will need some rear anti-wheelie plates first. Out a bit from the back but not too much area.
I wasnt expacting it to be this cool man it slays. Good job everyone!
Absolutely epic! "Wake Boarding Behind Our Micro Jet Boat!" next?! Keep doing what you do!
Although I've loved many of your projects there hasn't been one I've wanted for myself more than this. Looks incredible!

This is absolutely amazing and hilarious I've been watching the build for a long time. What I didn't expect was the performance the insanely sharp turns at high RPM and most importantly the fun factor! This is no four-wheel drive Barbie cart! My only advice to you is to patent and trademark everything you freaking can! Now.
Looks like a blast!! Well done.👌
AWESOME! I have been so looking forward to this day! Crazy maneuverability in that little guy! Seems pretty quick too! Guessing the rock situation might have taken a little power out of it. With new impeller and wear ring, watch out!
