I had to click off because of the music. I really wanted to keep watching i just couldnt with that same 10 second guitar riff on repeat. Tried on mute and the riff just played in my head. 😂. Theres plenty of copyright free music out there. It would make viewer retention go up, im certain of it.
Yes if I had it to do over I would have just made one or bought one, But when I started I didn't know how to weld aluminum and thought it would be easier. Next boat is going to have aluminum pump for sure. learned a lot and will definitely be different on next one. Thanks

I would have loved to watched the whole video, however that repetitive God awful music was just murder! I just couldn't take it. Maybe try something different, you might get more views.
You know I never added it up since it took me a year to build. I do have a notebook with most the parts list. I’m fortunate to get the Seadoo for cheap since it had no title. I also work on watercraft for a living so I get/have a lot of extra parts. Also had a friend give me some aluminum and I would also search marketplace for cheap aluminum. The Seadoo I used would be around 9k though if just bought it.
Measures 13ft to transom and then the housing for IBR is another foot. So originally is was right at 14ft and with swim step right at 14.5 ft. I ended up adding 10" length to hull to get rid of the porpoising issue I had. Thanks!!!!
I just registered it as the jet ski hull that I cut up, but may go register later as a homebuilt boat. To get hull number assigned in texas you have to set up a meeting with game warden and do an inspection. Not super hard just inconvenient. The boat hull had no title so I could have filed for bonded title but that is a pain in butt to get in texas.
Would you consider putting out a little bit of a more in depth build guide? I'm interested in building one of these as they look like a lot of fun. How hard was it to learn to weld aluminum?
Well I’m not really the best with videos and editing. I could answer some questions though. Facebook has two good groups that have a lot of info too. Jetjon-jetski and Franken jetjon. Also check out leantocustoms here on RU-vid. Learning to mig weld aluminum is not super hard. You just gotta clean material good. And be prepared to grind a lot.
@@SELFMARINE lol I'm watching leantocustoms and some other stuff, I see towards the end you added 2 skid plate looking things on the bottom on either side of the jet and below your swim deck, what are they for? How much did you spend on your welding setup?
@@jeffrisher2372 those are trim tabs on rear of boat. Basically makes hull longer. I was having porpoising issues above 30 mph at first. Keeps boat from bouncing. Most of the weight in rear of boat.
As far as welding setup. I think it was around $700 for titanium welder, spool gun and cart. I bought a argon bottle from a guy on facebook marketplace. if I would have known about everlast welders then I would have just bought a everlast welder.
