Routing the exhaust under the boat, next to the jet intake (not in front of) would take care of the exhaust noise. The intake noise is significant too, going to need a muffler for that. The aluminum boat vibrating itself makes a ton of noise, going to need to find the floppy bits and reinforce them so they don't vibrate as much. Replacing the chain drive with a belt drive would help a lot, and finally air cooled motors are noisy in general but they need airflow so if it's enclosed you still need a very significant air flow through the enclosure. Think about how the super quiet generators work, they're ducted so the cooling fan pulls the air through the whole thing, a setup like that would help. Anyway, cool project!
Dude, you are going to burn up that clutch, its way over driven. You need bigger sprocket on the pump. Do not do a cvt, it will not give you more top speed than propper gearing on fixed ratio
@@raptor31able He's saying it's not spinning fast enough for the clutch to lock up and the clutch is continually slipping. I can't tell from here if this is the case or not.
Cool project! And super cool to have that creek in your back yard.
If noise is an issue, I noticed significant sound difference by putting together a 3 sided box made of the thick insulation foam board.
The engine is air cooled. Not a good idea.
Apply some Amazon basic sound deadner to floor and sides around engine.

Hahaha. I know that creek and that house wait that’s my neighborhood! I love it send it!
What jet drive are you using?
Yamaha wave runner 500
You should put handlebars on it and ride like a quad.
Where can i find aftermarket sprockets for the jet drive? Im using one from a kawasaki 550 thanks in advance
You need to drill and tap one
Love the dog!!!!!
My dogs heard the squeaker 😂😂😂

You do understand how a centrifugal clutch works don’t you ?

@@8180634 if it’s turning more than 200 rpm it’s locking up and that’s not what he was saying.
@@raptor31able I absolutely do, and if the engine isn't able to build rpms up, it's likely still slipping
@@8180634 exactly. The engine isn't able to even get to normal operating rpm which leads me to believe it's still not fully engaged.
Buy a bolt on torque converter give it some gearing
just put one on
Use a smaller prop, then no clutch needed. 😮
Currently using 133 mm
Looks more than 13mil
Lol, the whole point of a flatboat is to have room to work....
