The Jetboat makes its debut on the water

In today’s video we buy and paint a trailer and get the jetski out on the water. Didn’t go as fast as I had hoped but I believe the combination of weeds and cavitation was slowing it down. #jetboat #boat #jetski #boattrailer #diy

Great job on the build! If cleaning the weeds or putting a smaller screen over it doesn't work, you could make the inlet work a little more like a forward scoop. If put a forward lip on the aft part of the inlet. Wouldn't likely need much, maybe 1/2" or 3/4". Just something to feed some extra water into the pump while underway.

I’ll try that soon

@@Ethos_Islandcame here to say this, I’m sure you can buy one after market. Definitely having issues with cavitation.

[@CalebsMementos]

Awesome job, Jordan! Your hard work paid off!

Sounds like it's cavitating at full throttle, try some more weight in the back. Get some 5 gallon buckets with lids and fill with water and place them to get the nozzle further under water

[@Ethos_Island]

I’ll have to do that

[@adamthomas4638]

Why didn't you make the engine cover deck on hinges an shocks so you could flip it open to work on it gives so much more access then reach down a hole but clean build good job

[@Ethos_Island]

I thought about doing that, but didn’t wanna spend the money to do it at the time. Easy to add in the future though

A 16ft aluminum with duel jet drives? lol

[@muzicpro3089]

you should have taken the boat out immediately after sailing over the plants then you should have gone full throttle

[@JamesEBraus]

Time to start experimenting with different impellers. Like maybe a weed eater impeller.

[@jamesholt2403]

Are you sure it's weeds and not a worn wear ring?

[@Ethos_Island]

After a few more outings I’m very positive it is the wear ring

[@djbassin3042]

Great job. The boat is looking real good. Congrats.

[@HarlyGuy13]

Dude you’re a worker man. Really happy you should up. New sub for sure.

[@Ethos_Island]

Thanks!
