I have blown the CDI, I am waiting on another one hopefully back running soon 👍

That is actually the best design for an amphibious vehicle I have ever seen. Putting the wheels outside of the body of the boat simplifies everything. Well done!

To be fair, it has its issues but it’s absolutely easier to access and declare issues, especially use up less space in the hull with!

this is the most New Zealand thing I have seen all week.

its good to revisit old projects with new knowledge every now and then

"You Rock Dude"!!! I've always wanted to put a 500 Yamaha TT engine on a zero turn Hustler mower. And race it in the Red Neck Rodeo of State Fair and Genesee county Fair Michigan.

And the walk behind Hustler trimstar are Top Notch Too

It's the Family Guy boat! It reminds me of that episode where they could get a boat or the mystery box, Peter chose the mystery box and ended up with a time share (I think?) while everyone else got boats and they're all driving around town in their new boats, just boating it up. Really nifty design! Thanks for documenting the build :D

I gotta get me a striaghtening tree....Too Funny Thx for the great idea

coolest thing ever made. Love it.

coming out awesome but i am concerned about all the weight being on one side. should really put the helm opposite the engine so you are not listing in the water.

Frankenstein say's to Mad Max, 'Yep, lets do Waterworld'!

Great work - super cool!

This looks awesome, subbed. :)

🐝🏁 Great video 👍

that lever mechanism to raise and lower the front wheel is brilliant! honestly the build of it would be a good contribution to the world. many makers like myself have uses for mechanisms like this, and although measurements will vary depending on use case / scale... the basics and considerations to make it work are invaluable. for now ill just pause the video and try to guess reverse engineer what you did. keep up the good work man.

Amazing stuff! You need to get hold of “this old Tony”

You made a cyberboat, So cool.

nice dude, love it.

you should think about putting a quickener on the steering box alot of dirt track cars here stateside use them ... its an inline 2:1 box that increases the steering rate so youll have to work the wheel alot less to get a decent driving feel out of it without chasing the wheel as much otherwise cool build man!

Now that’s what I’m talking about way cool

Thanks, yes I started off with a homemade prop, then found a proper prop but was getting way too much cavitation, now it's got a jet pump and it's so much better! Its still far too slow in the water though,I wish I had built the whole thing with retractable wheels like you have though! You never know I might build a new one lol

Utterly ridiculous! Best thing on KZread. Your ingenuity is second to none

That freewheel sprocket was genius

It's satisfying to see you went with my idea to steer it, and took it to the next level. I fear though that having your bodyweight and the engine on the same side of the boat might make it list a little in the water. You may need to make it right hand drive.

All the weight is on one side though. You should move the seat over or your going to have to add a lot of ballast to the other side would be my guess.
