I removed the last Omaze ad because of the issues with the car and charity. This one is not the same. This ad supports an automotive charity and it’s a sick car with no strings attached. Omaze pays a good chunk of money to do these and they help the channel do what we do. I think they’re worth it for the 1 minute plug. If you guys seriously have a problem with them, leave your thoughts below and I’ll give them a read and go from there. Always willing to work with y’all and you know that.
CLEET MAKE YOUR MONEY. As long as there is live action after the ads then real fans wont mind you getting your slice. Yes youtube seems to be your passion BUT it also pays your bills. Its your business and yours alone what deals you make🤘🏻🇺🇸
No issues here Cleet I love the channel y’all are awesome you gotta make money to keep us entertained lol thank you for all the awesome content!!!
Do what you do!! Full support here!!
🇺🇸
Donate half of everything my my racing program. Modulars aint cheap 😂😂
When do the McFarland Marine Tshirts drop? Lol Take a dip and let her rip!
I hope you put corvette taillights on yours and James puts 240 taillights on his 😎
Duuuuuuude we gotta do this!!!
@@CleetusM you know the deal. That way we can get the matchup on the water and on the drag strip 😎
💯% great idea!!!
Great Idea
This needs to be a thing, 100%
James builds his after watching Cleetus make all the mistakes. Wise man.
Only problem is the constant distraction of having boi Kyle nearby. Yeah, I know, but he is cute.
Work smarter, not harder.
Hey guys just seen the latest video , nice going I’m a aluminium boatbuilder from Perth Western Australia I never miss any of the live action if you guys need any advice let me know , little tip turn the wire speed up in the machine and try and go a little faster , you will put less heat into the materials and the finish product won’t have as many ripples in the plate and watch for the hull being twisted , before you fully weld the hull up level the hull up by lining the top of the transom up with the top of the foredeck (or dash) I use jack stands on there sides to stick underneath the bottom plates as chocks once iits level tack some braces in all four corners or otherwise when you get in and out of the hull and go from back to front and side to side to weld it it will end up with a twist in the hull , and if it was me ide pit the sides on from front to back and sash clamp the back plates down when you tack it up , before you weld it up tack the top plates and windscreen in and brace it all level before you weld the whole lot up, mess if you have any problems, and James don’t tig the hull up (too much heat)it will move around too much , good luck boys 👍👍👍👍johnny from western australia
I can only like this once so I'll comment so it might move up...
Awesome advice hopefully they read it before it's to late.
I wouldn't be surprised if their welding skills improved by miles after this project, that sure looks like great practice 😀
Exactly what I was thinking
$10 says James sinks his first
Agree!
I think you should do a smart car build??
Bet
I'll take that bet... I'll take LeMullet ticket as payment
Wait ? Aint that the guy who welded SV Seeker's jetboat ? 😎 he gets the job DONE!
You know you got to love James he just seems like he's just happy to be alive all the time never having a bad day you go James
He did throw a helmet once lol
Black02Xtreme sometimes it be like that
@@Black02Xtreme 🤣
Should do a turbo Hyabusa motor or turbo 2j would be sick!
Eric T or an ls3 or 2jz
Cleetus Boat: Busted Engine
James boat: Broken Axle
Give the ignition table that McFarland spice 🤣
Kyle Jet Ski: Missed Third
In the next project, you should consider building a boat using "Flex Seal" and floating it across your pond.
this collab is why Kyle moved across the country and im here for it
After visiting Finnigan
Cleetus: I *need* this!
Finnigan: Jetskii or turbo boat?
Cleetus: ....Yes.
It happened
🤣🤣🤣👌
1 turboed... cleetus
2 sprayed... james
3 rotary... ol' cooper...
Lol, who cares what ends up, just as long as they jump them for us all lol
Damn they made UPS and Fedex look real good!
Would've refused that fucker the second the door opened. That's on the carrier. Next time you get something large shipped look into a small owned operation. Usually have great luck with them, big carriers not so much.
Repeat customers are the best customers!
Or you could OVER insura it say for a cool hundred thou and they will take better care of it
Just get a hot shot to deliver it to you. Should be able to find one out there.
@@markbremmer8642 that's the name I couldn't think of thank you lol
R and L is trash anyway. I expect nothing less then fully trashed.
Good call getting Kyle to help, kids pretty nasty with a welder, his cages look mint
Kyle should get Hayden (metigulous) to come out and help build his..... Kyle is a great welder, but Hayden is one of the best on UA-cam in my opinion......
Yeah and you don't have to "caint it" cause it's aluminum...
kyle and hayden are both skilled af
Sweet how much to buy the cut out parts to build the boat?
@@danielhigley8543 This might be beneath Hayden's ability. He does beauty welds, not so much bulk welding.
Cleetus,
As much as we LOVE the relationship that is obvious between the PFI guys and Boosted BOIS, can you start giving them independent shoutout credit?
Youve had Brent constantly work for and with you and you still call him a Boosted BOI, yet he's trying HARD to build his own channel. Brent and Jamie are such amazing guys they would never correct you on camera and have been letting it ride for quite a while now.
As a fan and (And fellow youtuber) I really emplore you to give Brent/Jamie their own shoutout as PFI speed guys. Its things like this that will help grow all the channels together (As Im sure you found out from your early Leroy build with Kyle at 1320).
Keep the bald eagles flying brother! :)
THIS.
To check for leaks, soapy water sprayed on and blow with air compressor over seem welds.
Ideally exterior seem weld should be done in one take. Catch on fire if need be. Stops and starts are where holes and cracks can form.
And don't powder coat them. The heat could buckle or warp it.
Best finish for an Ali boat is acid washed and Ali sealed. Then just get the hull above chines vinyl wrapped. No offence to yankie boat builders but America got alot to learn about Ali boat building.
Majority of boats in Australia and NZ are Ali.
RL sucks we stopped using them years ago because they were costing us way more in damaged shipments and completely lost shipments.
As the resident Alaskan, I feel obliged to say there are no elk in Alaska and polar bears are 1000 miles north of Kodiak in the arctic. But the spirit's there👍
Lol i can appreciate the honesty!!!🤠🤣
As an Alaskan I think cleet needs to come up and learn how to drive his jet boat
There is absolutely elk in Alaska. Zarembo Island is actually famed for elk hunting. Polar bears on the other hand haha. Go to the zoo
Details shmetails ...
Brown bears though.
“Honestly, didn’t realize it was gonna be this big of a project”
LOL, that’s some classic cleeter right there!!
I say that at some point during every project I do.
We took a 24' pontoon boat and made it into a sink box style duck hunting blind. It took two of us all summer to do it. All we had was a Lincoln mig 180 and started with a cheap spool gun (That didn't last very long) But she's a duck killing machine. LoL
Remember when he bought a bodyless wreck of a Corvette to just tinker around with and have a little bit of fun with? Then the junkyard C6 with a truck motor in it that was going to end up in a giveaway?
@@richardharrold9736 Hey man, the giveaway might still happen. :) Lol. Zero chance of that, but thanks for the memories. I need to go re-watch some of the old school stuff.
Dueling 300 amp welders ✔nice new shiny aluminum boats ✔jam shorts and t shirts ⁉️ ...So, how's that flash tan feeling?, Just wait until till 'bout 3 am when you're wondering who dumped most of Miami Beach into your eyeballs. Been there a few times ,after 7+ years of welding 40+ hrs a week ,you live and you learn ! Good work boys ,now be safe y'all, cause this is my absolute favorite channel!! 😎
James could be a city worker the way he just stands there and watches everyone else work. 😂
You know it's serious when Jackstand Jimmy is wearing jeans!
I didn't think any of them owned Jeans lol
LMAO! Yeah, as soon as I seen they were welding that much.. and aluminum.. I thought Cleeter gonna pay for wearing shorts.
Imagine being James and having a friend like Cleet that is up to do crazy shit like build a jet boat with you 🙌
And pay for it!!!
You'd have to be as brilliant as James
3:16 Speed has the coolest shop ever!!! Not a pun regarding the A/C.
I GET HIGH from The sound on the time lapse ... takes me to a simplistic place in life , mowing fields , pressure washing bleachers, laying sod, ripping cylinders heads off 7second stick shift cars
Do you know what the music is called for the time lapse around 9 min in?
next weeks video title: "Me and James take our twin turbo 427 jet boats to the drag strip and run 7's"
😂😂☠️
8.0 bracket boats
Lol
Lmfao
Hell yah bruther do it for Dale!!!
Missed opportunity: "what in the hull are we doing?"
Hull yeah brother. Lol.
@@grahamefreestone5309 that was good lol
@@hondaservicecenter .. Thank you. That was some of my best work. Lol. 👍
“That’s it, thanks for watchin. Do it for Dale, we’ll freakin, see ya later.”
I wish more things ended like that. I love it.
“By the end of the week? You said by THURSDAY!” I like this guy.
If Cleets boat is named "Pike" then James needs to name his "Muskie" !!
I've got a Kawasaki 750SS jet ski that's been sitting for a while and a speed boat kit that my dad bought me many years ago. This video has got me thinking I need to marry the two in his honor...Thanks Guys!
DO IT BRO. LIFE IS SHORT.
A speed boat your dad bought you? We have led very different lives
@@drumboarder1 Why even make this comment ? You have no idea what his life is like or was like, stop trolling on such a great vid.
@@drumboarder1 You left out the "Kit" part.. its a 10 foot wooden 1 seat skimmer kit and plans that he bought in the 70's for $125.00 bucks and we never built because we could not find 12 foot 1/4 inch marine plywood that it calls for to wrap the wooden frame that was the kit which I still have in the box in my basement. So now I'll build it with my son!
@@Danger-Dave well my dad didn't buy me that so we still lived different lives
Next week: bogging the tracker trying to find our jet boats
Most definitely 😂
dude he's never going do the Tracker... he keeps buying boats and shit... he's over it... every time he posts a boat video an angel loses its wings.
@@JS-oi5jt a person who races cars cant also enjoy boats? And arent allowed to enjoy SXS's? So when someone decides they enjoy a hobby, they need to be slaves to that 1 hobby?
@@asylumental that's not even the point. He hyped the tracker content up and just dropped it completly. And he's mentioned it in "fleet update" videos a couple times. Not to mention those videos were among his most viewed videos so it's clear people want to watch it.
@@JS-oi5jt I definitely agree that I want to see tracker content...its what originally made me subscribe to the channel.
Maybe he is just thinking about the fact he cant really make a ton of money on the tracker...he loses money to make the content and in the end when he finally crosses the pond what will he do with the thing? Cross more ponds? Sure but likely it wont be as enjoyable the second time, for him OR for us, and plus he would be lucky if something didn't break again...ultimately creating a perpetuating cycle of paying money to fix the tracker to make tracker content, but he is bottle necked as to what profit he can really make from the tracker...
At least people sponsor his race cars, and at least his cars are somewhat reliable, and at least he isnt limited to making money from just the content since there are cash prizes for racing...
After a long day of welding I come home and watch people weld lol
DUDE. Go use them for outdoors stuff. I don't care if it's just one episode. I'm all into fishing and hunting so to see you guys build these then use them to fish from or get to a hunting spot would be epic.
Trying to figure out what was off with James, then I realized he had a nice pair of jeans on lol
It’s the clean hands and nice pants. Tends to throw everyone off 😂
I didn’t know either of them owned a pair of jeans.
No kidding and boots.
UV ain't no joke boiz.
Not a nice pair of jeans, just a new pair of work pants lol working with that aluminum and welding they’ll be ruined 🤣👍✌️
I just love how many different youtubers from every different background that Cleetus brings together! From mowing to boats to welding the cars!
Now this I can get down with, we have mini jet stingers from AUS and they're almost the same. You're going to love it and want to head to the water every day. We've had ae 4 years now with Kawasaki 1200 2 strokes 3 cylinder engines and at least go out 6 to 8 times a month, never gets old and yes you can bring in an elk or hunt waterfowl with them, so much fun! Don't forget to put a doggy seat belt for your pup Holley, my Labs love going for rides.
Man, Peter Zila is a legend in the welding world. The man is knows his craft. No better teacher to have on-site with such a project.
Love these projects guys! Great work and great people! It’s good to see you guys try new things.
Really?
I hope a shirt that says “jet boat jimmy” gets made!
I'd buy that
Giant missed pun opportunity.
"What the HULL are we doing"
This should be on the back of a "Jet boat Jimmy" shirt!
HA HA, I sea what you did there 👍
Wait till ol Cleetus discovers what a Spark Jet Ski Kart is 😂 Jet boats are cool Jet Ski Karts are a whole new level.
I love the idea of filling them with water to find the leaks!!!!!
Jet Boats.
"I didn't think this would be that big of a project" ???
Welding together jet boats like you bought them at IKEA isn't that big of a project? I love your optimism. Keeps me watching.
"Optimistic, but rubbish."
@@brianwright9514 dude, if you think it’s that rubbish you do have a choice.
No need to comment (or reply), just tell UA-cam you don’t want to see this sort of content and you will be happy.
@@steve5x565 His comment is literally in quotations, you uncultured swine
@@steve5x565 "Obviously, you're not a golfer."
As they turned up with bits missing maybe they really are from IKEA!
“Two Florida men wear jeans for the first time in their lives!” Did you just buy those bad boys for this build!? 🤘
Noticed they started with shorts? Definitely lesson learned on that one lol
I see you brought a wizard to weld those.
If you watch at 9:42, James is performing the welds from 5 feet back with his HAND.
I actually get to say this for once... The operation that makes these, is just down the street from me.
Memories of welding in a factory without AC, no fans because it'd blow away the argon and welding jackets over cut protecting sleeves...when the mask came down, it was like living in a swamp of your own breath.
Got me through college without debt, though!
I’m lucky. My shop has ac and heat for the winter.
Did you weld in shorts like Cleeter did?
Check out pennyweld, I have their fans and speakers in my hood. A lot less sweating and fog lol
I get around this issue by brushing my teeth
@@PossumKing Not allowed...we had the thickest jeans on our uniform I've ever seen. I swear the things could stand on their own.
You've never smelled a funk like a size 21 (yes, US) steel toe boot that's been soaked in sweat 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. I broke down and ordered a couple extra pairs but for that size, it took a bit. No better feeling when you're trying to drag your ass to work at 5am and slipping into some soggy boots! Upside is I have so many calluses from all the blisters I dont even need boots anymore!
Blake Wilkey is the mini jet boat mafia kingpin cant wait to see you guys rip them lol
You’ve got to call it the "John Paul Jones"! True freedom name!
Livin the dream, just remember (Give and it shall be given) Pressed down, shaken together, and running over. Good job.
I don't care what anyone says, that background music is a banger
So good!
Wish they could make a extended version of it.
George's Town - Come Tomorrow
I love it
Background music gets annoying when it's the one background song re used again and again which is what he did with this one prior, so I'm not optimistic here
EDIT: about 3/4 the way through, I now understand and support ISIS
@@drumboarder1 Some like the music, others support ISIS.
I prefer the music.
Love seeing James just staring into the welder in the time laps
I loved that Lambo in the background randomly hanged on the ceiling
Alternate Title: Cleetus learns about the importance of proper PPE the hard way.
Its amazing how many people you see welding with skin exposed. just because TIG doesnt spatter doesnt mean you dont need to be covered.
My boss 20 years ago sunburned the ever loving shit out of his inner lower thighs and knees. I learned from his mistake.
@@chevy383jt Not to mention that it only takes one severe sunburn to make your risk of skin cancer skyrocket. These people you see welding with out proper PPE all the time are gonna really regret that in a decade or two
I bet his legs are on fire!
@@duceanahalf they live in Florida. Cancer bc of sunburns is guaranteed even without a welder
Petition to put a moat around the Freedom Factory?
This is why. Love this channel. One minute drag racing which I love, next hovercraft, then jet boats. Your channel is the best. Keep doing what you do.
Nothing to be ashamed of Cleet, welds look pretty nice to me!
Cleet: Here’s why we are building jets boat.....
Let me stop you right there. We don’t need you to justify anything. We are here for the shenanigans and good times. Your channel has replaced watching sports for me. Just keep being you. Now back to the live action.
Lol.. Truth
Right on. Same here!
Definitely
facts
@MOE - 100% this. Spot on.
Ohhhhh, you son of a . . . . gun. You beat me to the jet dinghy project! I've been putting my components together
You know 316 is full of fun people when you have a crazy kart stacker....😅
Love how you can see cleetus transition into more and more protective equipment start with no glows and shorts to wearing a blanket gloves and a skimask
Some day he might even learn to use knee pads!
You can tell that Cleetus and RG are good friends by the way they talk to each other. Absolutely hilarious
That looks like she should be the "SeaEight" to replace that new C8 he sold off.
McFarland Marine! "strap an elk to the hood". Hilarious.
"Not the best welds" lol bro you did them yourself, that's badass 🤘
I think we need some McFarland Marine shirts now those would be freakin sick
Your temper with shipping companies is 10x mine❤
Cleetus, if you're naming your boat "Pike" I'll suggest "Muskie" for the name of James' boat. For an acid test, take them both down to Miami, and make the run out from the Haulover inlet to see which one survives!
9:37 James isn't shield'n his eyes he's using his wizardry to weld the boat while Cleet holds it in place.
And later in the video his eyes are sooo red lol
😂😂😂
I can't hear this music without thinking of pressure washing the stands at FF.
Anyone know what the music is?
First thing that came to mind
@@jameseastwood4984 hell yeah by the brothers
I like watching boat builds !! Way more than Drifting!.!.!
"Not worried about making mine nice cause it's probably going up the side of james' boat" true friend right there
At first I'm like shorts? That's a bold move! Slowly everyone switches to jeans as the time lapse moves along lol.
I remember my first day...
You sir are a mad man with the most epic ideas!!! Who would have though about building a flat packed jet boat!! This is amazing and I want one badly!!!!
I've seen 1000+ hp jetskis so i'm counting on seeing 1000+ jetboats from this channel
Boys, I can't describe my enjoyment. This is me in 5 years. Keep living it for me Cleet!!!!
Odds on whether Cleetus’ finishes boat doesn’t leak. I say 15-1.
Flex seal
I'll take those odds
Lmao, when does Cleetus class it as finished? When it doesn’t leak?
That's a fools bet...ALL boats leak
@@IllegallyAcquiredKIA beat me to it🤣
We're going to TIG most of this one.
Hehe spoolgun go bbrrrrr
I would put a sticker of Peter farting on Meg on that welder, because it sure sounded like a ripper.
"It doesn't really matter because I'm probably going to ramp my boat of the side of his boat when were done... Idk why he's making it so nice"
😂😂😂
Can we all take a minute to appreciate what looks to be a large collection of go carts hanging on the wall ready to rip!!
Crazy carts for drifting.
Ooh Lord.. wrapped himself in a fiberglass fire blanket 😂🤣😭. I'm itching for you LOL
I’m a trucker R&L is known for damages. I’d be filing a freight damages claim.
im a driver as well, your correct. he should file a claim with R&L, but from what i have witnessed they will claim it was the packaging not their handling. BUT you and i know different
@@opossom1968 I think they’re almost as bad as fed ex. LOL 😂
@@opossom1968 It's not like there isn't an argument in this case - that's downright pathetic "packaging" for product like this. The manu needs to suck it up and crate these things; bet they'll at least break even in the big picture once they cut down on the amount of replacement pieces they ship out.
One sin doesn't absolve the other - both the packaging and the shipping are dog shit
“Not the best welds in the world... but I think it’s going to float” 😂😂😂 famous last words
James standing on hull #1 all nonchalant was hilarious
Cleetus really does it all from Land, Sea, to even Air he has built sick cars and owns a race track, he’s had hovercraft before and now he’s got a boat, a while back he went flying in a Cessna who knows maybe Cleetus ends up building his own plane in a few years 🤷🏻♂️😂
Keep the man away from Peter sripol
@@drumboarder1 love his content, but definitely gotta keep ole cleeter away
Cleetus is kinda like my friend. Sees something kinda cool and just gets really sucked into it.
Try gopeds a gtr or gsr
@Kermit of Rivia no way dude. Gopeds are way better than strippers.
Hell yer from New Zealand the home of the jetboat.... And where goat racing 610 lives up the road from me... the real father of jet dinghys🐐🏁😁🚤🚤🚤🚤🚤
I see many You Tube car builders need more PPE. Hands,arms, face protection and ventilation I am recently retired from a shipyard that builds Destroyers for the US Navy. It was mandatory for welders and other trades to wear either a full face or half face respirator when 'tacking' or welding stainless, Recommended when welding aluminum or mild steel . most of us wore the 3M model 6502 or similar half face w/ the Particulate filters like the 2091 or 2097. We were constantly reminded to use our flexible 4" vent tubes when welding. Would not be overly expensive to have a blower/sucker setup (exhausted outside of course) w/ several flexible vent tube around to use when welding.
Dude R&L carriers sucks. They smashed my nova quarter panel then scammed me into signing for it by saying that i had to sign to get a replacement from Jegs. Jegs almost didnt send me another one because i signed for it but they ended up replacing it. Thank heavens Jegs has some integrity because surely R&L does not
I use to work on the docks there. I can confrim they suck and that the dock workers don't give a FUCK about your freight. If you don't get preferred frate, then it's not worth it.
My freight from them was ABSOLUTELY destroyed when it showed up. Fortunately it was just a roll cage and miraculously they piled all the parts up on the pallet and didn’t lose anything.
They did the same to me as well with a pallet of solar panels. They had set a pallet on top and crushed the top one but I wasn't about to cut the straps on their docks and unwrap the whole thing so I had no choice but to sign and find out it was crushed when I got it home. My loss.
Had a transmission shipped with them and well lets say I had to get another one shipped because they broke the housing.
I cannot believe they had the balls to show up with a pallet looking like that. I am buying some large pieces for a project and will make dang sure it isn't R&L Freight that ships them. They are learning the power of the Cleetus Nation here. 250k views and counting.
I cannot believe they are working with giant aluminum pieces and a welder 4 feet from an uncovered Lamborghini and no one has even joked about not hitting it.
IDK about everybody else but I would love to see the whole boat build series...
16:26 James stealing the blanket tho 😂
I always enjoyed having my freight claims against carriers all in order. They have to pay for damages caused. Having it always in order, they stopped even bothering to send out someone to inspect them. Just paid them out. Many years ago now but still holds true.
We need finnegan in this series of welding, the boostedboats
Man that welder sounds amazing, and I love watching the guy one hand those long welds like it's nbd. This is the kind of stuff I really come to UA-cam for.
Absolutely love the james and kyle collabs.
So happy he made the move to FLA
Are we going to get to the point where TVs get so good that we're all going to have to cover our eyes when they're welding? Imagine?
I squint alot when someone welds on a video as it is, lol
I wonder how many weld specs ended up on that red Lambo lol
I love being a fabricator. The feeling that you get when you're able to look at something & say "I built that" is awesome. I'd love to jump into a project like this one day.
My dad tried to teach me how to weld. Lasted 15 seconds. It went like..
Me: starts welding
Dad: to close
Dad: to far
Dad: to fast
Dad: to slow
Dad: let me do it
Me: 😰
Me in high school :(
When you're in Los Angeles, you should definitely visit the Peterson automotive museum. It's amazing.
