I'd like to see this with a rubbermade body and a Surron motor. I think that I would have tried to make a wetsuit sleeve exhaust boot and gasket. lol... 🤙🏻
You need a stomp grate, it would probably have to be hand actuated though. Also have your crew cary a spare assembled pump, maybe two so you can try different pitches to see what works best against the current. Kawis don't like sand and grit. I have rebuilt 4 pumps for 4 different skis from the same customer because he constantly beaches in rocks/sand without a care, or sobriety. Also, when in the shallows, you want to be going as fast as possible at all times, and when it gets really shallow, always keep the boat off the keel. I mean, reaaaaaly lean it hard to one side of the other, as hard as you can without cavitating. That will create a triangle of clearance for the intake, and give you the maximum amount of water under it.
I feel like people who haven't endured a lifelong injury don't understand the importance of injury mitigation. One wrong move and you're walking with a cane the rest of your life, at best.
He should be. It bothers me to no end when people take needless risks (if youre going to do dangerous sports at least wear protection), and set a bad example for the kids who look up to them. Same goes for PPE in the shop. Nobody looks cool when they're permanently injured or dead.
Because you are doing something you enjoy with your friends and get support from people from all over who enjoy your content. How could that not be fun. I have been watching your channel since the second tacoma video.i have really liked enjoyed the videos and seeing how far the builds and video quality have improved over the years.

Lmfao i was going to add a comment, about how Ethan should Really be wearing a helmet on this one. And the first comment I read is exactly that. So here's número Dos about protecting that noggin brother. Getting ko'd while navigating through rocky white water. Nothing good will ever come from that. GHP crew always sending it
I have a traumatic brain injury from a wreck where I went out the windshield, I crushed my skull 3 times, and I'm disabled from that 🫤 you only have one brain 🤷🏽
Can I suggest having a small Bouy attached to a line inside the boat? so if it gets swamped the bouy floats up and makes it easier to recover the little thing. So here's an idea for you... shove it in a shipping container and head to New Zealand, Queenstown in particular, and run it next to the Shotover jetboat tour boat (one of the largest jet boats) that carry a dozen people up & down the Shotover River. and why not hire some ADV bikes and do an offgrid tour around the place, make a working Holiday out of it & an experience you'll never forget!
Need a river with a bit more water. Suggest you hit up some local kayakers and get their recommendation on where and when there is a good class 2-3 river in your area. Plus wear a helmet next time dude
Awesome video! I saw some other guys with the same boat but they mounted the JetSki motor between the legs allowing the driver to sit further back . Looking forward to the 2 engine jet boat!
Not a fun day 😕 Me thinks a rebuild of ....... err...... everything is in our futures. Maybe also fitting a winch to the truck so that you can just drag the boat up the rocky ground to the road??
might be advisable to redesign that drive shaft with a double joint so it can move and not crank its self into the bearing which is likely what killed the bearing
It's his choice, while I may not agree that it's wise to go without, that doesn't justify the name calling and attitude. No place for that here, take your nonsense elsewhere.
"My 100 hursepurrs mini-jetboat malfunctioned while navigating a shallow Rocky Mountain creek in Montana." Yep. I had a feeling it would look insane when I typed it out! Hello from Missoula!
Edwin did you play the sort of Latin style acoustic guitar in the music near the end of the video ? If so nicely done .. I've been enjoying the music you've been creating for your content . It always seems to fit , making the videos that much better to watch .. and that is no easy thing to do . From an old fart in rural north Ontario . I hope you guys are going to be in the Danger Ranger this year .

I’ve kayaked white water for decades and I’d have to say you would have had much more fun on a river with more volume. Class 3 would be doable but better flotation and a helmet are recommended. Plus a couple of safety boaters for rescue. There is a great documentary on the first jet boats running rivers in the Himalayas, a much watch.
Love your Channel. You guys put out a great video. Many years ago when I was 18 I bought a (WET BIKE ) back in 1978 it add a 4 inch jet drive . drove on the water like a motorcycle I would love to see you guys find one and put a bigger engine in it. You would love that wet bike just like I did back in the day. Keep up the great work.
I'm a new follower and love the show. But because I'm new, I don't know a lot of the older builds. It would be awesome when you post videos if you had a link to earlier videos in the series, or to the Playlist, if it's available. Just my take, but still love your content regardless! I'll go back and search to see what I can find!
That little jet boat is so sexy! Ill even take the pink it just sets it apart from everything else out there. So sick i mean PREMIUM!! Thanks for all the cool stuff yall do! Grind hard for life baby!!!! 💪
Maybe next time he could try to reinforce the entire body and engine bay with shocks or some type of impact absorbent material so you’re not damaging the engine so much and the engine would be able to survive better or you can just convert it into a hovercraft or just buy a cheap used one around the same size as your boat or tad bigger as far as I know boats are really not meant to be banged around neither by rocks or engines or jet ski engine as far as I know don’t do well-being banged around by rocks, but hovercraft will do just fine over any terrain just make sure you don’t sink and everything is still tight
Hello Brother I like your Videos and waiting for one video the whole week u just uploading 22:00 Video i like to watch large video love u so much broo from india
just one little nic in your rotor / prop or a deviation or malformation in or before the tunnel will cause unrideable cavitation. driving over big rocks is a lot better for the boat than driving it over gravel, should expect an expensive repair anytime you see shallow water.
Would love a round 3 on this,but completely understand not bothering with it at the same time hahha we spent 9 hours last year trying to push our jet boat back down river on a moose hunting,pure misery hahhah
Ole Ethan looked so miserable on the river ride that’s the look of disappointment 😢 maybe next time bud don’t give up get it right we are looking forward to you make the full trip up that river 😆 lol
Guys why not build a mini hovercraft, that would get up that river with no issues, you might tare the skirt in a couple of places, but you'd still get there, just a thought?

Where did you originally get the jet boat
@@Zane.Wellnitznah Altis sigma motor
@@Gryffonmd That is true. You know it would be a nice little silent go anywhere boat.⚡

Kind of surprised that Ethan wasn’t wearing a helmet.
Came here to say this!! One bad tumble away from the forever sleep box. 😬
I agree.....dumb......really dumb!!
For sure. We've lost quite a few people to head-to-rock accidents. Schumacher comes to mind.

Should know better than that.... No helmet 😂
In a boat that small, shooting white water, you really REALLY should wear a helmet
²nd that
places you can’t even swim
Ha haa. Quality call back. I got a nice chuckle out of that.
🚫🌊 ahahhaha
I cant imagine anyone who would give less shits about video games than Ethan. So him promoting a game is hilariously preposterous
better yet, "leaked confidential documents simulator" of all things
Why is it so much fun to make tiny things go insanely fast? I just love it! 🤘🎸

Many more than two comments! 😄
FINALY another mini jet boat video. THANK YOU!!!
I'd just like to suggest a helmet to protect your brain in the event of a miscalculation.
Wear a helmet.
It could save your life.
I have a traumatic brain injury from a wreck where I went out the windshield, I crushed my skull 3 times, and I'm disabled from that 🫤 you only have one brain 🤷🏽
That poor thing just need an overhaul at this point. LMFAO
"It's obviously broken but we're just going to keep running it."
Shortly after: "Why did it stop working?????"
A helmet for everything else but the mini jet boat! Cmon bro 🤦♂️.
So sick though.
mini jet boat, going places you cant even walk
It's on water, so the Baby Jesus could walk on it. 😉
Duuuuude....PLEASE put a helmet on!!!! Also, saweeeeet!!
Gahahhaa its soooo small, I thought mine was small but this is crazy
No gonna lie, that straight up did not look like a good time
I would be the strangest combination of annoyed and excited if I was fishing that river and he came up it with that little monster 😅
You should see if you could fit it with a nylon skid plate like you do on a dirtbike. It’ll make it slide over the rocks so much better
UHMW is what is used in food processing.. durable as heck
Great idea
Build a aluminum jet ski
It already has that.
That's why the underside is black, it has nylon armour to help it slide over rocks and to help stop any thing puncturing the hull.
Can I suggest having a small Bouy attached to a line inside the boat? so if it gets swamped the bouy floats up and makes it easier to recover the little thing.
So here's an idea for you... shove it in a shipping container and head to New Zealand, Queenstown in particular, and run it next to the Shotover jetboat tour boat (one of the largest jet boats) that carry a dozen people up & down the Shotover River. and why not hire some ADV bikes and do an offgrid tour around the place, make a working Holiday out of it & an experience you'll never forget!
Here in oregon they have company that does tours on the Rogue river with these 3 engine jet boats
You really should be wearing a helmet. I know it's been said a lot, but we really don't want you dying or getting hurt.
man that jet boat and those rocks deserves a helmet in my opinion
Ethan, you are an absolute savage.
I dont know how that tiny boat carries you and your giant brass ones 😂
Should be wearing a damn helmet 😅❤
No helmet is crazy
That cane is from when future Ethan came to warn them, but he fell in.
😂😂😂
What is it with all the ameture jet boat guys not wearing a helmet...lmfao cmon lads..
You guys should go on an expedition looking for Bigfoot.Out there!!!! l o l
We’re always on the lookout!
Surprised they haven't seen one around Ethans property. Then again, they're probably afraid of a the noise.
😂
The trout in the river must have been like "wtf is UP with that huge loud pink salmon?!".
Gonna come back and watch the rest when you wear a helmet. Hope you made it.
"im never trying that again"
Damn. I feel that in my soul.
ok, small fan boat. Fasten teflon to the hull. works great on drift boats.
Need a river with a bit more water. Suggest you hit up some local kayakers and get their recommendation on where and when there is a good class 2-3 river in your area. Plus wear a helmet next time dude
Just think if you had a helmet on you, gotta put the GoPro on your head for way better view than that thing is shaken around on your chest
Don't put any camera (or anything else) on your helmet. That was a major contributor to Michael Schumachers current condition.
Hope he's doing well. 😢
Awesome video! I saw some other guys with the same boat but they mounted the JetSki motor between the legs allowing the driver to sit further back . Looking forward to the 2 engine jet boat!
Go away bot
This is an AI evolution of bots… wft
The bot evolution is getting nuts
@@stefanogregoratti yeah they are getting really good
they just copy/paste other comments, its not that impressive
Would like to see that boat with an electric motor. Sorry you didnt make it but good try
How to show how epic Ethan is... Put him near anything with Barbie on it. I think the Hummer needs a barbie wrap and a love heart steering wheel.
Not a fun day 😕 Me thinks a rebuild of ....... err...... everything is in our futures. Maybe also fitting a winch to the truck so that you can just drag the boat up the rocky ground to the road??
AKA jet boating in 6 inches of water with life ending rocks everywhere.
How about adding some sort of suspension under the seat ? Your brain would thank you.
I feel like spring run off would make for a better experience traveling up this river.
might be advisable to redesign that drive shaft with a double joint so it can move and not crank its self into the bearing which is likely what killed the bearing
Also, it would be awesome to see a collaboration of Cletus, the giraffe trying to navigate this mini jet boat
Next time you attempt this river you need to build either a hovercraft or a flying machine.

This war thunder sponsorship has me wondering when Ethan’s gonna take Grind Hard to the skies!
“Would you classify that as a launch problem or a design problem?”
First
The old saying “it’ll wear in before it wears out” seams to apply here🤣
You gotta rip around with cleetus next time he’s up in Idaho with jet boats
that is so cool!
Its a jet boat. Boat are mean to use on water, they usually suck on rocky terrain 😂
We got war thunder sponsoring grind hard before gta VI
sure, i haven't seen this video yet, but i still cant wait to see what you post next!
well....if that was not worth waiting the extra day :-P mhhhhmmm
I always look forward to your videos!
Youre going places you can’t even swim! 😂
This could be a new sport tiny boat racing 🤘

Drive fast take risks

For gods sake WEAR A HELMET when you do this shit
The boat launch 😂
Love the video guys but when are we going to get another changli 100 miles challenge
Never... Will left and Ethan hates the Chang-Li. 😢
No helmet ya f n Douchbag

I was wondering how the thirst bot came up with a pertinent comment about this video, turns out they stole yours!!!
@GrindHardPlumbingCo you should build your own version of the jet kayak and put that and the boat to the test doing this
What an incredible waste of time, effort, money and resources. Big 'kids' with too much money to burn.
This is actually “Places you can’t even walk”
ohhh man , this boat is just the most crazy watercraft ever , looking forward to seeing how she handles the long distance challenge
oooo download WAR THUNDER bet you haven't played top tier in the game..... go do that than leave a real advertising!

I just absolutely love boaty slim haha 😂 such an amazing little boat, I want to get a kit and build one sooooo bad 😂
Time to hook up with Cleetus McFarland . He can fly down and pick the Barbie boat out of the stream with his Helicopter.

a couple bends up there's a old dude who thinks he owns that river harassing boaters fyi
Coat the outside of the hull in 20 layers of bed liner to help it stand up to a beating.

Ethan: "I'm gonna full-send it until it breaks."
Uncle Roger disagrees and says that emotional damage can never be self inflicted unless running in Asian mode
Yea rly should be wearing a helmet super dangerous dude...if you were to crash and get knocked out underwater its allover

This boat needs Barbie Flag, and perhaps make a similar Boat but in HotWheels or X-Men Look :D and perhaps make rubber seal for that back lid? :D
Cavitation is 100% hull design/length solved by trim tabs but good god that would make it even more submarine prone. #DeathTrap! Love it!
Funny how it went from being trailered on a custom trailer to being tossed outof the truck into the water
I can't believe you didn't get the delrin skidplate for this.. absolute madman.
Guys why not build a mini hovercraft, that would get up that river with no issues, you might tare the skirt in a couple of places, but you'd still get there, just a thought?
Seeing as you had to walk the boat back again, you could've done with that stick you found for Steven. 3rd times a charm.
If you replace the plastic impeller kit on the jet that will help it not cavitate as much and give you more thrust
