  • These pictures are showing most of the steps during the construction of my 215HP JetJon. The boat is a Tracker Grizzly 1754 and the engine was taken from a Sea-Doo RXT 215hp supercharged.

    I’ve had this kind of idea in my head for a long time I just haven’t had a clue on where to start. Great work on this build and from the rest of the comments I can tell you have left some inspiration. Really glad you took the time to document this process

    I can really appreciate the time effort and work that went into this build. I would like to build a lesser version of this with smaller motor for fishing small lakes and rivers, target speed about 25 mph.
    I have an idea to use a 30 to 50 hp regular boat motor but move it inboard and then use a jetski jet pump and ether lay the boat motor over or use the lower unit gear box but right under the motor to hook it all up. Jetski pumps are cheap, old boats are cheap and old 2 stroke outboards are cheap and very compact so I will see how it goes.

  • @RyanDfmx69

    Best way to build one I've seen so far with using the hull out of the jet ski. A lot of these are really sketchy but you done a very nice job on the whole thing. I love it! Great work!

    Man you got some skills Sir, that was a really neat build. As a kid my dad built me 3 wheelers, go karts, motorcycles, etc.. But your skills are on another level. Very nicely done. lol I have a 1754 that is part of the reason this was really neat vid.

  • @goaheadmakeourdayscooterpe9644

    Awesome build. I was a little slow in thinking that a jet can go anywhere and that gravel was the worst enemy but found that weeds are just as bad. The only thing is with a outboard jet the motor can be raised up and cleaned out by hand.

    After 23 years in the marine industry Ive seen countless fishing boats / ski boats etc. But your build here has to be the most versatile Ive seen . The seadoo engine would have to be my only dislike . There are far better options as far as reliability and performance but if its what was on hand or a cheap buy more power to you. Fantastic build easily the best I have seen

    Is it a two stroke right? I want try all fiberglass with the same idea for my next project a 20 foot sailboat. two i was thinking so you can turn on a dime with one on reverse next to each other turns tight because its bigger and more difficult to maneuver and park it with one jet alone.
