    Great vid, Went to a museum the other day and saw a German Schwimmwagen (amphibious car) and immediately thought of this bad boy. I think with this upgrade you might have them beat for speed.

    I have built a lot of small boats over the last 15 years, and its good to see some one aving a go at building stuff them selves, however to save your self a lot of wasted time on something thats not going to work well, put the motorbike engine in something else and get a cheap jetski with the matched power curve for the unit, no messing around tring to make water jackets for the headers and a lot of other problems that you havent clicked onto yet. I have tried out motor bike engines in the past, you need to split the motor and remove all the gears and make an adaptor to run a shaft off the clutch basket to the unit , if your cbr600 motor is spinning at 12,000 the clutch is around 8,000 its geared down quite a lot, running off the sprocket and tring to us the gears just doesnt work, the power is never in the right spot. Tring to match the motors power to a random jetski set up and still having to make a proper grill/intake combo, theres a lot to it.I have done it with zx10 and cbr1000 motors, you just cant beat a yamaha jetski set up . Good luck mate, keep the videos coming

      Thanks I watch a lot of your videos, I can’t use a JetSki motor because how can I cool it when on land? I have heard of you run a radiator it can’t really cool down a JetSki motor enough. I would rather run a surface drive which would be way fast and more efficient but the jet unit will fit well with the wheels and be out of the way. Thanks a lot for the information I just really want it to be able to plane, how fast does your inflatable boat with the outboard jet go?

      @@DktheWelder the orange boat only does about 35-40 km with a 50hp on the back, painfully slow compared to a jetboat, I cant see an easy way of fitting the honda motor around the mower engine, however in the states dont they run the lawn mower motors with a long shaft and a propeller on the end ua-cam.com/video/HPTjdA9Azzc/v-deo.html I think that with your skills you could build up something like this?

      @@goatracing610 haha yes I have done heaps with those longtail motors they are really cool I put one on a surfboard too , I have been thinking about what you said all day that the cbr600 motor be no good . Do you think it would go 50 kph on water? I pretty sure it would go about 140kph on land depending on how I gear it. Also I would love to talk to you and ask questions I have been watching your videos for a couple of years

    I'm using all those cad files you made to build the a jet unit, but I'm gonna 3d print it in steel & scale it up many percents. . .
    Also getting rather curious at how well the bat kart is going ?.????...?

    56123 motors are (Somewhat) cheap and crazy powerfull motors you can use for the turbine. They are about 13-17 HP. Costs around 200 dollars for the motor but with a speed controller it costs around 600-700 dollars. And then you need a battery to go along with it. Write a comment if you need any guidance.

      @@DktheWelder Yes if you going with 18650 or lead acid the battery's are really expensive. I think the cheapest option is to buy some lipos for a few hundred bucks. Although the battery life will suffer. Personally I get laptop battery's from the dumpster.
