Great welding project
Thanks for watching

I have lived to be over 60 years old, but I have never seen such a smart person. I think it is amazingly great. I respect you! Good luck!
I was not expecting a home built jet boat to perform that well. Nice build!
**Proud** to be a New Zealander - the country that pioneered the jet-boat!
That's awesome!!! I never knew that until you mentioned it. Hats off to those ingenuitive mother lovers!
Sir Charles William Feilden Hamilton to reference.
Who doesn't love to learn!?
Jesus. That thing is a death trap.
I'll take two, please.
Just pray before you drive it, hahahaha.

Puss
Lol
Sorry, as far as we know, provable by science...you only get 1 death
Hahh
This would change my life. This is the most amazing little boat I've ever seen. Excellent work!
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Axton Fletcher instablaster ;)
@Jerry Houston Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Jerry Houston It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
@Axton Fletcher Glad I could help :D
This looks like Dutch wooden shoe on steroids!
I love it!
Would love to have one in the Netherlands!
your boat, the build, and the videos of it in action are incredible !
I watched your build video, and I have to say as fabricator, I'm impressed, that you designed something that looks like someone with good amateur fab skills could build, that results in something resembling a pretty professional looking craft, that's testament to a well thought out design.
The boats look awesome! I'm proud to have played a part in the manufacturing of these boats. Laser operator@caracs
Thanks Shane, see ya soon to cut the next one A++
Shane Richards . your from Caracas or am not reading right ???
thomas hewitt I know you have probably mentioned it.. but how much would the total project cost for a consumer ever piece. Roughly?
Also assuming labor was done by consumer and had all necessary tools
I think you could get it done for 10 grand but that depends a lot on where and how you acquire the drive train.
I saw one of these flying up the river near my house it looked awesome
I watch this vid & now I'm building a mini jet boat with my son, thanks for the inspiration it just looks like a lot of fun 😎
Truly amazing! Many places here in Ontario Canada and in the US too where this type of boat can be used. This light weight compact design works very well in shallow water with minimal draft!
Power-to-weight ratio= BANANAS
No Bananas on the boat though
Pro bass fishermen are going nuts everywhere!
Thats nutts. Literally stopped and sitting on rocks. Suprised it wasnt stuck. Gets on plane instantaniously without eating an impeller or wear ring. Super impressed.
efficiency is high and light weight perfect congratulations, love it
NZ is such a beautiful country. Id love one of these for the Goulburn in AUS, WISHLIST!
nice landing at the end.
Cool little boat that has to be super fun.
Your build video was brilliant. A boat like this would be fantastic here in the States. Well done!
Wicked vid mate! Good luck with your product.
Heck If I saw this cat coming my way I wouldn’t be sure if it was a runaway but you gotta have some cohoneys to ride with him Very smooth bravo!
Amazing boat . must put on my dream list . great video . enjoyed watching .
Wow great little machine!
Now that looks like fun ! But I would place a large foam pool noodle over the aluminum 'windshield', so that if your head ever hits it, the foam will absorb the impact and prevent you from getting some serious damage to your face.
noodle won't do much in a serious impact but foam of some sort is a good idea
Honesty Counts nah no time for safety measures
that's why he is wearing a helmet for safety that's all you need hell I wouldn't even wear the helmet
Justin Boettcher what about when his face meets that aluminum dashboard. Instant smashed face
That and /or full face helmet...... they are wearing a helmet anyway. Just a thought 🤙
I just ordered mine on Amazon. Free ship!
how much was it
Wow that little boat is unbelievable you did a great job with it I'll make sure I pass it on to people I know
That looks like insane amounts of fun! great job!
I think i would invest in some foam padding for that cockpit
I've seen more comfortable seating in a prison cell 😱
You Will get Rich.
And Will create a New sport .
A "Up Drafting" .
Think about It and register the Idea as soon as possible.
A competition going up to the river against the water chain.
It is up to you now.
Good Luck.
A very nice video. Thanks for sharing. I like to know more about the pump system.
Awesome boat Thomas. Well done!!
Having depression makes me lose interest in everything. I have an old jetski and 12' boat but can't finish it. Something like that would get me out of bed and enjoy the time I have left. If you know anybody with depression please take them for a ride. That is a badass jetboat.
Keep ya head up bro
@@dustinvarner3438 Easier said than done.
wow! need for speed but with boats
freaking awesome Thomas, looks like so much fun!
Great Build Video. Awesome performance !
This needs to be in a James Bond movie !!
One was used in a James bond film the world's not enough called the Q boat
they look so cool have u help anyone in Australia with one at all
Woooooow men, this is awesome. I wish I could start straight away to build this fun craft. Many thanks to create this video!!!!!
Very impressing and amazing to see what's possible! Nicely self-made with aluminium.
Are you sure its legal to have that much fun?
DukeLaCrosse20
Only if you pay for a fun permit 🤔
I was thinking the same exact thing. Probably not legal
@@noworriesmate8287 I tried to go through the state to get a fun permit they don't issue those I had to get mine from my wife. They're expensive and single use. FYI.
@@deegan727 I'm going to have to try that
How much cost the boat
WATCH OUT AIRBOATS! I'M GONNA SMOKE YOU!
Super cool little boat
The boat is amazing,so is the perfect shooting of that video,very advanced one👏👏
Good job on the building project and awesome skills on the welding and construction (way past my skills anyway). Wonder if this could be made in a 14 foot length for my fat American backside and what the cost would be to get one to the USA. I think this would go over well here and have a great demand especially with a nice stainless roll bar behind the driver 's head. send mean email when you have time.
George Klein I’m gonna try and build a fishing jet boat with these old jetskis my dad got us
Достойный аппарат.
Awesome piece of craftsmanship! RESPECT m8 !!!
Very awesome build, made me want a boat now.
Insane, but awesome. I would like to see the condition of the hull after that. Did the intake port get trashed?
Друг ты крутой!!!!!
wow, love it..cheers from Mexico brother. the jet-boat is perfect..
I like the ghost buttons where he says click here. Awesome little machine
Were there any rocks harmed in making this video!
@Steven Nickholdson this is true!
Just the ones that the boat sucked up into his impeller !!!!!
That's fucking awesome
Holy Crap. That's a cool thing. One of the best "toys" for water sports I've seen in a while.
Oh my goodness. What a sweet video. Nice work!! I laughed from pure unadulterated joy the whole vid👍🏻
Good on you mate.
Nice boat man
what place is that because the river looks nice 2
very cool, that boat looks like it could take a lot more abuse compared to a fiberglass hull.
Bishop Cherry Coke Also much harder to repair
no really its just patch panels and a welder i have a aluminium skiff with a chevy 350 that was jet powered i used to punch holes in i would go home and patch it up and be back out that day
I am debating on building a plywood an glass , design , just wondering how it would compare . Won’t be bumping into any rocks in Florida
mower rompin - maybe , but thinking i could pull it off , for much less , an as solid
Luke B bulletproof glass is the only way id see it being feasible.
Great job !
Looks like great fun !!
Beautiful New Zealand, home of the jet boat!
Hi have u any (plans-drawings ) To make like this boat? I pay u for then
Let me know
do you put UHMW on the bottom?? Aluminum sticks to rocks
Your a dumbass
You're
Mack ~ I'm with you on that one. BUT it would add a lot of weight. ALTHOUGH a larger engine could compensate for the weight, IMHO.
As to being a "dumbass", Peyton doesn't even know the difference between"your" and "you're", much less what UHMW or UHDPE is. lol
The best water project ever I see!
You are number 1
nice boat and amazing !!!!!!! thank you for sharing your video . I will try to make the same boat
Wouldn't the impeller and hull be trashed by the river bed gravel? Looks like fun.
Todd Brackett they hold up super well. I am deciding on which kit set to buy and personally build like he did (he has a video) but the inside and outside of the hull have supportive "stringers" the run lengthwise on the boat and can be replaced on the outside if the marine grade aluminum ever does wear down from use!
And as for the impeller yes rocks and sand may mess it up, although there are sand trap systems designed for that and when you kill the throttle on shallow water you stop the intake and rely on momentum to get you through
I wanna buy one
Sweet lil jet boat Thomas.
Thomas, молодец, настоящий мастер!
needs a roll bar .
David Gaddy how much you think that would weigh
how tf would that work in water
Christian Philipp Alinsugay if they are in shallow water and the boat tips over
David Gaddy My first thought also
and a seat belt
Ps seats look super uncomfy and steering wheel too small .. But badass none the less
Is that what Parker of "gold rush" fame almost killed his buddy in?
It's like driving a tank in the water . Super cool.
Very nice!! So cool!
do you sell the plans ?
yes he does. Send him an email.
what kind of motor are you running that boat. it kinda remind me of a rc boat. very cool
2016 Yamaha Super jet
thomas hewitt what's the total cost of everything you need?or at least ballpark estimate,cool vids thanks
thomas hewitt is that for a jet ski? You should send a link to the engine itself.
thomas hewitt n
It’s awesome what people can do with those little John boats.
Thomas fico feliz por voce!
How is that hull not trashed after all those rocks ??!!!
My dad and I asked the same question, aluminum and rocks don't mix.
I tried to click where he pointed on each video but nothing happen. I love the boat tho. my wife and I already decided to get one
You need to enable "Annotations" in your youtube settings.
That bezz nice send info plzz !?! ⚓️
I can only marvel at your skill
That thing is awesome!!!!
This is fun until you slam into a rock going 50 mph
How much do one of these cost?
Price range (completed) can run from $8k US to $15k US. Prices will all depend on your "vision" & if you will DIY or have someone do it for you. I can see one getting this done for less than $4k US IF you have the know-how, tools & access to used PWC jet engines & parts. Here's a link to the Canadian seller.www.minijetboatbuilder.com/about/
que los impulsaa
Are there any of these kits available in Canada if so does anyone know where to get some info on it
+Stephan caines
www.minijetboatbuilder.com/about/
In New Zealand, which is where this is, you can get these kit sets for under 5k off of trade me or even a complete for near that price the boats are not too dear for what they are
That's amazing, man! Good job
thats a sick looking H2O ride brother! well done! BIG Congrats!
Hasn't made a video in 2 years... Probably wrecked it 🤦♂️
Or dead in his STUNTS. God Forbid.
that is bad azz !!! great work sir loved it and i subscribed
This boat seems sooooo much fun man !!!! Great job mate ! ohhh i would love one of that ;D
YEAH ! SO COOL ! I like it so much ! I like jet engine fast and can go through swamp !
That’s wicked fun dude lovin it chur💙
that is one of the coolest things i have seen in a while. man i wish i had a welder.
Boat and boat ride were awesome.
Good work.
Love to see your project.. would be nice if i can build these kind of boat..
Pretty cool. Sounds like a good project if you can find a jetski with a mangled hull.
GREAT JOB TOM!
looks so fun! enjoy mate
es increíble!! excelente proyecto!! felicitaciones.
Insane !!! Congratulations from Brazil
This is sickter! I have to build one!!! The rivers in Colorado would be perfect for that.
Extra-ordinaire ! Invention de Génie ! je veux le même !!!
