    Next time when bending or molding HMW plastics, use HEAT! You can basically mold the entire sheet to fit the hull bottom. Boiling water is great for bending and molding it because of heat distribution, but also a rosebud torch, applied sparingly, and other heating methods can be used. Also, consider cyanocrylate/powder welding for joining pieces together. You will come up with a more robust design altogether.
  • Probably the only time I've ever sat here thinking 'Man... Ethan should PROBABLY have a helmet for that creek..." And I'm not a safety anxious person in the slightest lol

    Can you imagine how effective this sort of boat would be for Search and Rescue operations? Specifically for the searching part. It would be so easy to put it in the bed of a pickup or on a tiny off-road trailer and get it to remove streams with ease.
  • For marking black uhmw, silver sharpies, or white paint pens are your best bet. Also for filling seams and gouges, you can take a small scrap, like a 1/4" wide strip, light the end on fire, and drip it like a candle. Definitely not good to breath in, but that at home plastic base welding.

    Not sure if Josh is just hangin for a few. But man, that’s one piece of the puzzle I had no idea you needed. Formidable team

    imagine being a fisherman and going all the way up a secluded creek to escape the boats disturbing the fish and this mf just flies by 🤣

    Honestly didn't expect another jet boat video, but I'm here for it!! YEEEWWWWWWW!!!! Happy Friday boys!

    Thank you guys for the mini jet content. Its the reason I found and follow your channel. More please
  • Y'all never cease to amaze me on the builds that you do. Not to mention the silly shenanigans. 😂👍

    As a 3rd shifter thank you guys for making videos longer. Love watching you guys regardless 45 mins of premium content
  • @Benzy670
    I love how you put an ATV muffler in the boat and it became an ATB. All terrain boating is crazy lol
  • @kleinbiker1
    An old fiberglass boat trick. Use the counter sink bit in reverse on the drill so you don’t accidentally counter sink too much.
  • That would be a great sport, almost like rally racing, timed run up a streak of shallow river or creek, jumping over sandbars, hopping out as fast as you can to push your boat off of obstacles. Great event to attend, good spectator sport as well, not too expensive as well so low cost of entry.

    Nice! Fun day on the water with gorgeous scenery all around. That first part with you hiking through the brush along the river in your vest, had a solid Burt Reynold 'Deliverance' theme to it. Was waiting for the banjo music to start up. Good content as always.
  • @FordHogge
    Always a good day when the mini jet boat gets time on the water. 💯
  • @MultiDemension
    I can see a need for a little foldable oar mounted on the engine cover :)
  • @DataRew
    Now you guys need to make another similar boat, as it waaaaay more than doubles the fun! ❤❤❤
  • @kevinAuman1
    I love that Josh made it out to the property! Sure hope you showed him the treehouse and everything!
