@@englandentertainment1530 I will probably do a gopro time lapse like you did, I just got the boat this weekend so still in early stages. How do you like the joystick controls? I'm not sure if I want a joystick or like a dragster butterfly shaped wheel and a finger throttle
If you guys built an engine cover of sorts it might quiet down the engine so its not so loud AND would double as storage for the coolers and stuff if you put some tie down points and rails on it.
So I was just at the old carbonton damn scouting to see if you could get a jet boat in there! I am trying to source all the parts at the moment for my own jet Jon. Any tips?
This was my first one I've ever built so I'm still learning a lot just by using the boat! We took it out this weekend and beat on it and it seems to be holding up great! I have all the build footage and stuff that I can try to make a video out of if that would help you out!
Badass man, I have a 12' sea king and 650cc 2 cylinder kawasaki jet ski motor and aluminum pump that needs to get banged together for a badass creek sled
I was thinking about it but you can't duplicate the rat rod look!! I think you just made my mind up about not painting it tho!! I appreciate the comment man!
@@englandentertainment1530 Someone with a fat wallet has already put one in a brand new mini-jet, but I would love to see a real ugly rat-boat with a Kawasaki supercharged 1500cc 315hp. Big grins. EDIT: this one claims over 400hp !😬 ua-cam.com/video/WtE2ESpIAp8/v-deo.html
It's almost like mud flap material it's like a rubbery plastic material they sell roles of it at Home Depot from there you got to glue it on the bottom and riveted it together or glue it and bolt it up there's a couple videos on UA-cam similar to what I did how to rockproof your boat it's so worth it shits to fun
Those excited giggles like "I can't believe we did this" are awesome! Its an amazing experience to be able to surprise yourself!
Very cool and obviously some skilled mechanical/ craftsmanship expertise y'all have. Wow! That thing is impressive. Great build.
Awesome ride, awesome build...great job guys..
Awesome build! rivers like this are exactly why im building mine
Heck yeah are you gonna make a video on it?

It's pretty good man. I was on a time crunch so my options were limited but I would like to do one with the steering wheel one day
Nice job, awsem little boat.

That is a bad ass little boat
Thank you man I appreciate it!
Awesome guys!!!! Lol
Come down to the Lower Saluda. I can show you guys some fun spots.
Man I already sold that one I made but I do plan on building another one!!
@@englandentertainment1530 I've got boats. Find you an outboard jet and I'll set you up.
@@slasherfishing you should go check out Dixon outdoors UA-cam channel. It's my buddy's he's got a moto jet boat

Corey England that would be great! Thank you!
That looks like fun run.

Yessir they are a bunch of fun!!
3:18 It was definitely a sick video
Man I was giggling right along with you!
What a satisfying result of your efforts.
Whatever you do, don’t paint it.
Rat-rods rule. 😎

@@englandentertainment1530 any idea how slow you can get on plane?
@@Tailwind1 the boat planes out almost instantly
Pretty badass 🤙
Is this boat still alive? I’m trynna see more content on it lol
Yes sir it is! I've been dying to take it out just been super busy.
That's it I'm building one!
I know right
Shit man lets GO!
nothings impossible with beer and doritos
What engine and what kinda speeds you seeing?
Its a Rotax out of a 96 seadoo sp and it does about 40
Awesome boat. What is your top speed?
It ran 35 with 2 people and a cooler! I think it'll do around 40 with just one person
What river? Looks like PA
It's up here in NC!!
Nice!
YES YES
I built one just about like this last year check it out . Maybe nthe funnest thing ever ! Nice job guys
Thank you and I'll check it out!!
You guys should just definitely rockproof the bottom I did it to my boat
I would love to what did you use?

You need some plastic on the bottom of that boat if youre going to be going over rocks like that
I agree but the plastic would cost twice as much as it did to make the boat lol
That's not a jon boat but its cool
Thanks man!
So sik
those are not rapids....motor runs great
Maybe not big ones but definitely rapids
@@englandentertainment1530 ripples maybe.....lol..bring it to idaho...we have rapids...great job on boat...we run a Motojet 13ft..all boat are fun
@@garysublett3493 I already sold it a while ago. And I wish I had moto jet money. All I had in my whole build was $500
