If Harbor Freight sold boats I believe this would be it
Lol
@@ThatBoatGuy I own two of these boat I just bought a brand new 30th Anniversary Edition and if I gave you a ride I can guarantee you would want one they are awesome
Rick massey Did they fix the prop clearance problem when trimmed up and turning?
@@corydriver7634 no Corey they did not and that has been a slight issue as I got into real shallow water the other day, figured that if I had a problem I could get out of the boat push it back into a little bit deeper water being so it's going to be shallow, but to answer your question no
@@corydriver7634 Corey it sounds like you know something about these boats. I have a 2008 and I just bought a 30th Anniversary Edition Gulfstream it has the 2-cycle Evinrude and it is a rocket, the older one has a Mercury 4 Cycle and does not compare this new one
Really glad to see you're putting content out there still! This channel is pure inspiration and encouragement to do what you do. This little thing is not what I'd go for but anything with a 2-stroke on the back- LET'S GO
2:25. You can really see that Evinrude dig in. That’s a whole lotta balls for that boat
I've had one for almost a year now. We were considering a wave runner but preferred the side by side seating and less wet than a wave runner. I believe the newer ones have a higher bimini top and its good to get out of the scorching sun. Another thing a wave runner doesn't seem to have. It's mostly used for exploring on the inner coastal. We have u-bolts for towing a kayak but haven't tried it yet. Super stable, won't sink , foam filled pontoons, top speed 28 maybe 30 with one person. About a gallon an hour at 15mph. It may not be what everyone wants but for our needs we're glad we got it.
As I get older I need simple oh, I have two of them one of them is brand new Gulfstream. Easy load easy unload and like you say when it's rough out on the big water I just had up to little rivers around my area and it's awesome
Wanna see this pass haulover.
*This boat is for people who are trading up from a kayak but live in an apartment near a very flat lake.*
@@1nvisible1 for huge pools when you don’t like to swim
I've jumped some huge waves in these. The police around Miami actually use these, but yeah, would be fun to see how it would hold up in that place 😂
guy that lived at a condo complex i worked at had one of these, amazing little boat. he was in a wheelchair and because of these little things he was able to by himself hitch up unload it at the boat ramp and take it out without issue.
Looks like two surfboards held together by a motor that's too big.
They are so slow 😂
Never too big
More like two kayaks lol
EliteDavid Horne you pretty much got it
@@anonanon4109 Zach I have two of them it depends on what motor you have I have a brand new one with a Evinrude E-Tech and that thing is a rocket. I have an older one with a Mercury 4 stroke and it's a bit slower
Looks a fun rig. Must fly with a 30hp Rude !!
The beer holders are a must 👍
Drove one at Hilton Head. Was a riot. Was pretty windy on way back, bigger waves, fun, but got wet as no front splash windshield.
yeah and the salt water constantly in you face was rough at high speeds lol, we tried it like two years ago on a "Creek cat" tour
very cool little boat thats perfect for island hopping in Florida you may be able to add spacer blocks onto the Bimini to gain some height i once modified bows by extending them with metal tubing that i inserted wooden dowels on the inside of the 2 tubes btw i am a retired Woodworker and i turned the dowels on a lathe to get the right size i used small screws to attach the tubing to the wood insert but i imagine a epoxy would had worked well too when i did sell that boat 5 years later my extension was still on the boat
I had one of these and loved it...I regret selling it ....I made quite a few mods to it...bigger fuel tank, new lights, and repurposed an SUV cargo net to tie across the back of the Bimini to hold extra stuff...i ended up selling it before i could add the Hummingbird depth/fish finder...great find....we're in Tampa as well
Saw one being Trailered in Hernando Beach, glad I finally got to see it running!
That with a jet drive outboard would be amazing!
This thing has some useful features, but you might look at all of the waverunner models you could get for no more than what this thing costs.
How about 3 pontoons with a hayabusa jet drive in the middle pontoon and a center steering/seating position 👍😊
@@stevepseudonym445 looks a bit more comfortable than a jet ski. You're sitting in a chair instead of straddling it.
That thing is like a moped. Fun to ride, but you don't want your friends seeing you on it!!!
My freinds don’t have boats ll
Omg that's so hilarious but tbh I think there pretty cool just to put around on and fish possibly. Definitely a lake rig and mainly a calm water boat
Not not true, when I'm out and about all I get from the bigger boats are the big thumbs up and oh my gosh the girls love them
@@rickmassey5802 how fast do you reckon they are? The 2 that you have, fast,band slow one???
@@chrishollar6080 Chris the first 1 I bought has a Mercury 4 stroke and it's okay but the brand new one I just bought with the Evinrude two cycle is a little rocket you almost need a helmet
I own two of these boats and I have a blast with them
guy that cool your catamaran boat. I really liked the idea of low cost. congratulations, won a subscriber from southern Brazil. strong hug. 🤜🤛
well, that's boat should be good for fishing ! just like a kayak !
You should restore a boat again like u did with the air boat
Once saw one these in Ft Pierce Florida that had like a powered paragliding rig hooked up to it. Damn thing was flying over us. 😂
Awesome video! Giving me inspiration for my own boat project, I'm only 2 videos in.
I was gifted one for some work years ago, it's like a jet ski.. fun for 10 minutes and then you want a real boat.
Seen these out running before, local rental company has some. They look fun, but would never pay what they cost new. Probably would be a fun toy if you find a decent used one for good price.
Well, you're in luck...This one is for sale...facebook.com/marketplace/item/741468466658010/
@Austin Hamilton [Student] ... Yeah, it does. It's the same one on this vid...
@@ToyManFlyer1100 did you sell it already? The link says it's not available.
Love the videos man! Your taco is sick too.
Looked like you guys were at Maderia Beach too cool!
What an awesome little craft.
A center console would be pretty cool for fishing by yourself
Wow...I’ve never seen anything like this before, really unusual..
I’ve just Subbed to your channel 👍
They rent these from the marina next to mine. We call them river rats because they are always scurrying around aimlessly, lol
Probably pretty nice for a scoot-scoot or quick run to the beer store on a canal. Seems to restrictive for older people. But teens could have a ball.
Would make an excellent tender for a pontoon boat. Somebody always needs a quick run to shore.
Cool i liked it looks like alot of fun for the kids to play on
Looks like fun but definitely for flat calm waters. I like a boat that can handle some rough weather if needs be
Awesome talking about Jetskis do you work on them as well would be sweet to see a series of how to clean and how to service etc :)
Nice one looks like two surfboards connected to each other with the motor.
Thats pretty much what it is!
thats just what i said, not much good for anything
snakeriverfisher Are you on crack? They are a great little shallow water fishing boat. Great for people who don’t have a big garage for a boat, or something to tow with. I personally like them for fishing small lakes alone. They also work gray on streams. 2 people can carry it to the water, so no boat ramp needed. There are a lot of advantages to something like this. It wouldn’t replace my Allison, but I can take them places the Allison wouldn’t go.
I made something like this with my dad but we made one with surfboards and a 15 hp 2 stroke yamaha. It has a system on it that when you steer, the surfboards tilt in the corner. It’s very agile and it looks like it almost goes faster than this thing. It’s lots of fun to drive. Sorry for my bad english.
@@snakeriverfisher , not good for ANYTHING? Well, it's awfully good for hopping on, turning a key, and having a blast on the water in the warm, sunny Florida weather. I can't think of anything else that compares to it in terms of fun and sun. I'm curious what you would suggest for someone who wanted to be able to take 2 people, carry a little gear, have a low-maintenance hull/pontoons, and sit low to the water for a thrilling ride. (Oh yeah, and I want the stability to be able to stand anywhere on it and not have it tilt and flip/capsize.) Jetski: nope. Bass boat: nope. Bowrider: nope. I can't think of anything, but I'm an open-minded fella. I haven't dropped any cash yet. So, change my mind... please.
The best boating videos out there. Interesting little boat. Should have mentioned the cost. All good.
That's Intense! :)
Got to give a Tacoma driver a like. Thanks for sharing!
In Sarasota, there is a tour company that uses these for their tours. We were going to take a tour, but the Red Tide came in and we cancelled. I was so disappointed because I really wanted to try one out. They look like a lot of fun.
I love this. This would be perfect for a non-gas motor lake with an electric motor as well. Very low maintenance and you could throw a solar panel on the back
They offer trolling motor models with a solar panel.
Love the channel and videos. Hey would you think about doing a small sailboat reverb. Like everyone said it looks like stand up paddle boards bolted together. Thanks from Connecticut
***I would love to have that! Thanks so much for all the great videos. :)
I’ve known several people who have owned them and they usually sell them soon after. Very wet ride, low satisfaction. You can buy a beautiful used boat for the 9-12 thousand people spend on these things.
$9-12 grand??????? For 2 chairs strapped on top of two paddleboards? I guess there's a sucker born every minute.
That much? That is so stupid.
9-12k ? There is one for sale in my are for about 1k
the used Craig cats ive seen like these go for $4k or less... not sure if you mean brand new they are worth close to 9-12 thousand
@@zzz7zzz9 First off, if you buy a new one, the motor alone is worth over 5K. Then add the boat, electrical stuff, then the trailer. They make and sell them to make a PROFIT. Those aren't "paddleboards" with seats "strapped" on. If you think those are paddleboards, then you've never seen one of these boats up close. I have a 2008 that I picked up for 4K in great condition. It does everything it needs to do well. I use mine on open water in Lake Michigan...it's beefier that it appears. They are inexpensive to buy, operate, and easy to maintain. Plus I can easy tow it behind a RAV4.
I see those for sail a bunch, but not on the water. Thanks for the review.
It;'s not a sailboat.... ha, ha, for sail...
What these boats can really offer is some people with mobility problems like elderly the chance to still get out and do some light boating and sandbaring without needing to climb in and out of boats needing ladders and such
Excellent job with your channel !
...looks like fun, enjoy..stay safe...
I have owned 4 of them and they are super fun and an amazing fishing platform with coolers added to the sides and trolling motor in front. They are made and sold in Orlando Florida and they go way back. Are you selling it?
Nice to see the Life Jackets.
FREAKIN awesome video. Way to go. SERIOUSLY top notch and I used some of your product review in mine, as I am selling my CraigCat E2 Elite 28th Anniversary Edition, it was donated to my non-profit charity and we are using the funds to help others. Thank you again. I gave you credit and links in my description.
It appears to me that the motor is sitting way too low and is kicking up "side spray." There wasn't a decent view from the back of the boat to determine this for sure, though. It seemed the lower unit was plowing a lot of water, even when up on plane.
We have rented these a couple of time. They are great fun.
one of the funkiest "boat" iwe ever seen!
At 2.46 “let me guys tell you few things” wtf 😂
Looks fun but unforgiving if you hit any rough water, wakes, etc.
Why life jackets ha
@@daleeltzroth4749 Because it's STUPID to not use them...on ANY boat.
I would move the Jack plate back and the seats forward some to offset the weight. Maybe make it a foot or two longer. Get it so you can use the trim, altho, looked like it didnt need to be trimmed up during "high speed"
Those things are more of a novelty but cool thanks for the video
That little thing looks fun.
A 32 Stroke, wow that's cutting edge tech!
Make it into a fishing boat.
It’s so funny, because I saw one on the lake yesterday and was trying to figure out what it was. Then you post this video the next day 😂
I almost bought one just a couple days ago. They are a neat little boat.
I saw one at the sandbar and I was like how did that make it here
@@adamr9215 ..well, this one is for sale if you still want one...facebook.com/marketplace/item/741468466658010/
ToyManFlyer1100 Thank you, but I have 3 already. I don’t do facebook, so I can’t see the add, but there are a few for under $500 without engines. And I have a few small outboards.
Love your truck.
have always liked them and especially the name LoL
With the shallow draft would make a great gigging boat
That was very calm water let's see that thing in some waves
It’s all air flotation, so as long as the driver stays inside and the motor doesn’t hydro lock, it should be golden
Could you please tell us where you get the boat and engine decals, engine paint and led lights and deck pads? Thanks
Cool little boat to have fun with
If someone doesn't mix two stroke together in there outboard and it won't work, any fix?
rebuild that sail boat ....... go for it . That would be EPIC.
That's a cool little boat great for fishing to I bet
Ugly, Weird, AND with several quirky design flaws.... I LOVE IT! This would be a fun addition to a lake house or for local hops around the creek.
I seen that listed local, either your sale or the one you got it from
What do you use to clean the black mildew off the seats?
Is this in the Willmington River in Savannah, GA?
looks like a fun little toy, I'd rent it for a day to play with.
Oh ..I got one of those.. I got a mini one also it's just a chair strapped to a motor on top a boogie board.
That is a freakin cool skiff
Epic flip-flop tan.
Dude I have to ask, what do you do for a living? Do you flip these boats?
Ive always loved those things.
I would turn the steering lever sideways.
If you mounted it that way, you'd be smacking yourself, and your passenger with the tiller lever. Plus you'd have far less leverage.
Man that is a nice boat you got. I saw how it handle the ways real good. It also turned real good in the water too. I definitely wouldn't mind getting one of these. I like your flip flops tan you have man that is awesome. It shows you are a true flip flop wear which is nothing wrong with that cuz I am a true flip flop wear myself. I have big very very extremely wide feet with fat chubby wide toes that are equally straight across so flip flops is the only Footwear that is comfortable for me to wear. There's no shoes , socks , or boots that's wide enough for my foot so I have to wear flip-flops all year long and I have a flip flops tan that last all year long too. Awesome video thank you for sharing.
I noticed the cam roller for the air intake pushrod is missing. It's held in place by an o-ring. BRP part number 0324678 O-RING, Roller sleeve

I’ve seen a couple of these on area lakes and they were used for fishing. I’m not sure I’m brave enough to try one except in VERY calm water. I would feel extremely vulnerable, and I’ve owned and ridden jet skis.
Nice vid dude!
hi watkind of power spray you use
Honestly looks terrifying. I love it
It's really just all about how you drive them, I am having a blast with mine , I have two of them.
One of the most relaxing boats I've ever owned it's so easy to load and unload I'll be driving these until I'm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Can i use this in the ocean in mediocre weather near tampa and clearwater?
Wow amazing how you can stand up on edge like that id thought it of wanted to go over
Basically what I have. Made one myself for 100. Currently making better pontoons that dont get sucked under the water. Mine can stand on its tail and do standing donuts.
That’s acctualy sick lmao
Ive never seen a boat that looks like that
They are made in Orlando FL, pretty neat little boats.
It ia not a boat. It is nothing more than two surfboards hitched together with a motor.
@@wendellworth353 your Sooooo
Wrong ,more like a jet ski with side by side seating. Just not as fast
Fuck yea bro I see these all the time they look sweet
Man, for some reason as a kid I really wanted one of these things. SMH good stuff
UA-camr "AYO Fishing" could really use your help. He picked one up but the motor hops out of the water when you put it in neutral. Scary and funny. Would be an awesome collaboration.
Man put a jet drive on that motor and possibilities are endless
Enjoyed the video bro.
Hey I would just like to know where you find all of your boats because me and my brother have been finding no luck like you guys do so if you could that would be great 🙏
Man I wanna go magnet fishing there ahhhh
Could one of these pull a skier or wakeboarder?
Once in his live stream he said e-tecs are junk engines 😂
i like the etecs better than the merc engines
