Including Stability Testing and Sea Trials.
Dylan and I rode our boats for the first time.
My Dad took his mini boat back to San Diego to finish it, so he wasn't around for this maiden voyage. He joined us for the stability test and the boat party weekend, so be sure to check out those videos.

Thanks for watching.

This is cool. You don't get in the boat, you put it on :)
Now add paintball attachments and play world of warships live
Good
Thats the best idea i have ever heard, or use airsoft and have targets that correspond to lights and when all the lights are lit up your out
And if you are finished the boat looks cool too
or helium balloons tied on.
Genius
The captain hat makes the video
Will Riley for real though
Low key tho
Looks like fun. I probably would give it the name "Little Deathtrap".
It's been on a handful of outings, and I've only died twice.
RIP
Congrats Josh, that's a lovely little project you have going there! Nicely done. Over3.5 million hits on Facebook I see too. Amazing.
Thanks Andrew. Yeah, apparently some company spliced and uploaded my video to FB and it took off.
Glad to see you are back to posting your boat building videos!
These would be so funny to pull up to sone high end yacht club to film reactions
lol. I just need to make a little mini helicopter landing zone on my cabin to launch a drone from.
Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!
Until a boat with a wake larger than 1cm rolls by 😆
Jayden Lawson you mean a jetski? Lol
Jake Browne haha lol trueeeee
Sweet boat, Josh! And good call wearing the life preserver on its maiden voyage.
Thanks. I'm glad I didn't need to use it.
Man that's looks to be great fun! Thanks for sharing your video.
Very cute seeing the two of you enjoying those tiny boats. Nice craftsmanship. Video was nice too.
what a great build. Saw your instructable. Very impressive. Best thing is no docking fees and you can take it practically anywhere.
Thanks. I plan on taking it a lot of places before it starts collecting dust.
It's been out 5 times so far. One of those times was riding it in 2-foot water under a freeway... that was fun, and probably not somewhere boats are meant to go.

It is a great build Joshua.
Thanks for sharing the video. Now I want to build one :-)
I want one right now!! Amazing work top notch! The two of you look hilarious in them!
TheJohno25 there has to be a market for these!!
TheJohno25 j benenenenenenenm n
Best way to advertise: McCovey Cove, Giants stadium. People over there have kayaks for home run balls. Take these boats to their games, I can bet a LOT of people would want one
Good idea. I was meaning to cross the Bay from Oakland, and that would have been my destination in San Francisco. I never got around to it though and probably won't be any time soon since I'm up in Oregon now.
So now I’m obsessed with watching all the mini boat videos! They are so cute and in the coming months me and my Dad are planning of taking up the endeavor of building one of these adorable contraptions!❤️🌊🚤🏝
Right on. Thanks! Be sure to check out the complete build instructions to get a good idea of what is involved.
@@joshpit2003 No problem! I will make sure to check them out. Thanks!
Reminds me of a bowl cleaner commercial.lol Nice details, Capi. !! ⚓👏
Very cool! You could really explore some small streams and small nooks on lakes with this. If I could ever find the time I would love to build one of these myself.
Thanks. So far the coolest place we took these things was a spider-web water network that is only accessible in high tide. We found access to get under a large freeway and down a drainage ditch. Some of that is at the end of this video: th-cam.com/video/_cstE6jBdUM/w-d-xo.html
Very cool! Cheers!
Top notch craftsmanship Joshua.
Right on. Thanks. It was a fun project.
Welcome to the world of Mini boats Sir. It's a wonderful hobby. Boat looks out standing.
Thanks. They are a blast to ride, as you are aware.
The finisching touch is more than perfect!
As long as there aren't much more than mini waves.
This is awesome ! The Captain's hat makes the whole video perfect!
i love how wobbly it is hahaha so animated
Yeah, the more wobbly the more fun. People crack up when we porpoise them (pitch the nose down and up).
Found this by accident. Cool vid! Excellent craftsmanship.
Thanks. Glad to hear TH-cam is spamming my stuff.
;-)
works very well. kinda funny to see little boat cruising past on city river.
This looks like such a fun project.
This is HILARIOUS and awesome at the same time!
More like a mini Octopus...
rite on man!! nice job now i want one so cool!!
Awesome, they barely look unstable and top heavy and hard to get in and out of at all. Lol.
Omg, those board are adorable
this looks like so much fun.
Beautiful creative workmanship!
Wow! I loved it and I was scary too for you!Thank you!
very cool! good job!
Well, you got my respect for getting into it...and out is a bonus.
Just beautiful!
These are just the cutest little things.
It took you a while to get into that thing, and I’m thinking if you flip you’re having a hard time getting out upside down underwater
A valid concern. But it only took me a while because it was the first time I had gotten into it. For anyone curious about stability, or the ability to exit it in the event of a flip... they can go watch the stability testing video: th-cam.com/video/Jm-T6I7hgg8/w-d-xo.html
Not to mention water has to be pretty calm as well,to avoid swamping it.
why can't people let a man have his death trap in peace and quiet
dont joke about kayaks i know people who have nearly died when their kayak rolled, it is largely safe, but you can get into some nasty situations.
Getting into a tight space on the unstable element of water while trying NOT to flip (and in order to remain dry) is a more pronounced finesse than thrashing and lunging out into water once overturned and vying for your life. Never tried it, huh? Be surprised what the risk to your life might see you manage.
Awesome job! Mom's little get away. I really need one. It's small enough, I can hide it from my sons too. LoL.
lol. I do find it awesome being so close to the water and away from everyone else.
The only thing better in my mind would be if you could "really" get away and be under the water. Perhaps a Mini Submarine should be my next project.
Joshua Tulberg That would also be great. I am a lover of anything that involves water. Above, and or below. (The first 10 years of my life, subs and ships were my playgrounds.) You have a wonderful mindset. Keep enjoying life. You and yours, have a beautiful day.
Most amazing! The first word that occurred tto me, though, was “coffinesque...”
You, sir, are a mad freakin genius.
Very cool project!
lovely work
dude that thing is awesome
That's pretty cool...😉
Tremendous! till a nice wake comes... hahaha love it!
Great! I'm a captain of merchant vessel but all kind of ship I like. It's fantastic!
That is adorable!
I'm making one!! Thanks for the video
Right on. Lots of helpful info on my site (see video description).
Those are awesome!
That is adorable. It’s like Little weeble wobble people on a boat ride
Somebody hardcore needs to take one of these to a surfing beach and see what happens, make sure to film it.
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/DK9NpeyeEbU/w-d-xo.html
LMAO I forsee mass carnage in the break line... I approve!
That's pretty awesome man, not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous. Lol
I think the point is that they built them because it was cool to see how it would end up. Pretty fast for such a tiny motor. Congrats!
Thanks. I was pleasantly surprised with the speed and the stability of the boats.
I knew they would go ~4mph, but I didn't really know how fast that would feel on the water. Turns out 4mph is about kayaking speeds. So I've basically got a luxury sit-inside Kayak that is more stable than a kayak and doesn't require paddling.
Now I want a mini boat
Awesome man!
Nice work. looks fun.
Thanks.
Don’t know why but I laughed when I saw how small the boat was in the thumbnail and I laughed even harder when I clicked on the video and saw he had the boat in the back of a Prius 😂😂 cool boat though I’d take it over no boat!
This ship is so cool!
The boat compliments that car perfectly.
Two things, you rock that awesome skippers cap and how do you access the head?
Well done👍
Man so much fun to be had lol
Just great... looks so funny.
Captains hat = insta-upvote awesome boats btw : )
Those things are on the edge of capsizing at all times.
Would love to see the wake from another boat hit it.
Very cool :) Great work
You're gonna capsize that craft son.
awesome! I have a 65' G.W. Invader! It's just a little bit bigger than those.
Strokes launch.. cool!
Great work there, I think it has great potential :). I have a couple of questions. Could it handle wake from other vessels and if it were to tip over, is it easy to get out of? However, that said, I can see that this is no real difference from a kayak in both instances.
Yeah, it's pretty much a glorified kayak in that sense. Does well in a wake, in the chop, and you fall right out when the boat flips. It's trickier to get back into than a kayak. And oddly enough the trick to getting back in after a flip is to flood it with water in order to lower it. Then flip on a bilge pump after you get in (the now bath-tub) boat.
I'd suggest you go take a look at the Stability Test video (shows my dad getting in one after flipping) and then the Sea Trials 2 video (shows my friend and I being stupid and running through heavy chop).
Looks like fun
Amazing !!!! great job !!!
Very very good! Congratulactiom boy
Thats so cool!!!
Good job. Very practical.
Thanks.
Not one, but two! Bonus video. Cool project, too.
That is awesome 👍🏻
That captain cap at 0.07 is too much. If you ride mini boat then you should wear mini cap
Yes ... or a ridiculously large one.
Sir you are a damn genius.
Classic, fits in the Prius
So cool off to the drawing board.....
That is pretty damn cool.
VERY NICE ! BIG LIKE !!!
Mind my French but that is fucking AWESOME.
Patriot One no I will tell you what would be awesome is to see a 30 ft. CC come flyin by and sink that ass ha ha ha ha
+Damion u surely are dumb
Merci.
Damion nor is pedantic
Patriot One lll
Take these out in some choppy water now. They would be so fun
Done deal: th-cam.com/video/C6dcbw5L6fo/w-d-xo.html
And yeah, it was a ton of (terrifying) fun.
Suggestions? Maybe if it were wider beamed or off sides stabilized, Soo as not to tip over in any waves!? LOL Thanks John
It needs a little bit more ballast to plant the hull but other it's a classic and one for creek exploration
In boats this small your own weight is the majority of the ballast. So it's absolutely critical that you plant it in the seat (to get the ballast low) if you want any stability. That makes getting into the boat the hardest part. And that's also why I put a rider weight limit of 200#. The boat can take a lot more than that, but people larger than 200# have a disproportional amount of weight up-high.
Thing corners like a champ.
finally a good recommendation from youtube
Do you have a video showing its construction ? .....i would love one of those on the English canal network.....i would steer clear of the lock gates though.
Very nice !
Great little boats. Now you just need a miniature dingy to pull behind you.
Indeed! I'm considering making a barge of solar panels that I can pull. Maybe that could double as a dog-dingy.
Just tie a duck decoy on it with a ten foot string and be done.
This is really cool! Lots of people talking about flipping upside down, but my question is only related to that: what about the fairly exposed battery in this case? Isn't that a concern?
It's more stable than a Kayak, but if you do manage to flip it the battery is not a concern. See the Stability Testing video: th-cam.com/video/Jm-T6I7hgg8/w-d-xo.html My Dad flipped his and drove it around for ~15 minutes basically under-water with no noticeable damage. Just rinsed the whole boat out with fresh-water at the end of the day.
Nice fun boat, it must be a budget one when i saw the lead acid batteries
Lead is still the best bang-for-buck out there when it comes to capacity. And in a boating application, it doubles as ballast so it's a win-win.
how can you not like this
You could put on outriggers. You could put on some kind of quick release. That would give it way more stability.
Install out-riggers for good stability.
Those little boats are faster than I thought they would be.
Namaste.
I feel like this would be the perfect lifesaving hurricane boat😂😂😂😂
Now let the air soft battles commence!
good job!
so cool!
