Next week on Cleetus's channel... "The boys at Texas speed really hooked us up for our jet boat" 6 mos later "This new jet boat engine is from Steve Morris"
This has to be one the most fun builds to watch, at first I was like megh... more jet boats... but this thing is so unique and amazingly well engineered and thought out. Never thought it would beat Cleetus's boat but here we are! The Boiz did it! Love it and keep it up! Lets turn this boat up! I want to see it go 70mph!
@@kick_then_shift Yeah literally perfect for their application. Limited run-time as it is, not like it's on a daily car. Also well protected from dust, dirt and grime in that bay so. Turbo will most likely outlast the engine unless they go crazy on the boost. That watercooled manifold + water-air box is also passively helping the turbo stay cooler than it normally would without it.
Comp turbos are actually gaining popularity, their triple ceramic ball bearing turbos don't need pressurized oil since they have high quality "dry" bearings. unlike most OEM turbos which use a "journal bearing" which is a fancy way of saying a shaft inside a hole with an exact gap between them for pressurized oil to fill.
You guys should seriously consider putting together a Honda k engine and jet pump package for people who don't want to go the Sea Doo route. Mini jet boats / Adventure boats are exploding in popularity and your engine pump setup works. I'm sure there's a lot of people out there that would be happy to pay to have that same setup in their new mini jet boat
By the time you factor in the cost of the pump, and the swap the Sea-Doo drop in is less expensive. Plus then you got something which is factory you can resell. Swap hodgepodges don't go for anything even if they're done well.
Like otm said it's considerably cheaper to go the seadoo route and it's a complete setup. Yamaha 1.8 is actually a much better package, stock with a few parts is 350hp but about $6k package vs
@Donald Johnson he has a k swap that will last forever and a kick associated jet pump . Those supercharged seadoo engines are notoriously unreliable. I would take Kyle's boat anyway over Cleetus's.
One of the main things I like about using a Honda Motor in a Mini jet boat I know people that can work on Honda I don't know anyone that's a Sea-Doo mechanic and Honda parts are sold everywhere I think it's the way to go
Once you hit around 58/59 mph with that jet drive pump you have currently you can easily upgrade the impeller Wheels to something with more surface area and you can upgrade the intake great with one that has larger scoops with a sharper angle to get a lot more mph now that you have a turbo on it. You have to remember when you ordered that jet drive you told them you would be using a stock naturally aspirated k series engine on it to begin with so they sized the impeller for that engine not for one with a turbo so there's plenty of meat on the bone so to speak.
Exactly. Boats respond big with small changes. The hulls on the mini jets are designed for shallow water, rocks, branches, cruising.. it's similar to a ski boat hull that was designed for steady, consistent 35 mph runs. I noticed he trimmed it down to keep it from porpoising on launch but didn't see him re-adjust when the boat got up on plane. Maybe I missed that??
Man this video got me so pumped, your jet boat is officially my favorite, right next to the give away boat cleetus had! you guys have built some AWESOME units!
You need to trim you outlet nozzle down a little when you get on plane and swap the inlet gate with a horizontal wing gate to hydroplane up. That will help you increase your speed, allows for a much stronger push.
I grew up on the rivers in Maryland fishing and crabbing had tons of boats, never have i ever seen anything like this boating community. Looks freaking awesome!!
Since that manifolds running so cool I would cut that fuel tank in half and put half on the other side with a transfer hose between the two. That'll help it sit more level in the water👍👍
@@kick_then_shift Im not saying have it hold 40 gallons of gas, but 2 small cells would be perfect. and when I'm riding my jet ski, my fun time is limited to how much gas I have. and he has a 300-400 hp car engine that hes planning to run E85 in. there's been many times when I headed back to the dock before I was ready to call it a day due to being low on gas. having slightly more fuel than needed is never a bad thing in a boat.
Living in the pacific northwest, our fishing boats are the same design as these...whether ib/ob, outboard, or jet. My 17'6" with a heavy bottom and a 70hp suzuki outboard prop will run 43 mph so you arent far off with the added horsetorques and the loss of 30% from the pump! Our boats ride the same btw!
Never really thought about it, but the reason alligators have survived through man's "conquering" of the planet, is partly because they generally leave us alone. Other species might not have had the good common decency, hence they get wiped out.
Kyle is always on kill, love the progress that he has made. To bring boosted boiz up to that level is amazing. Wyatt has fabricated the path Kyle leading anything is possible. Keep doing what you do!!
The jet boat would be so sick setup with anti lag on a button! Be able to spool er up a bit on the hit, now that would be so sick to hear on the water too! 🙌🏻 Wouldn’t be a boosts bois jet boat without some AntiLag!!!
@@denisohbrien worth a good oL boostedboiz try! Can always rebuild 😂 I’ve seen anti lag done up on the turbo ski’s don’t see why they wouldn’t be able to accomplish this on the jet boat, same concept
I was litterly drooling looking at the frs while Kyle was talking. wide body boosted and looking badddd. A win to kyle for the jetski boat. So awesome keeep it up
unemployed since Nov18th and not looking like anything happening till new years but still willing to toss something at the boys for a chance at the ride. looking for a lil good luck and some motivation for 2023
Regarding the ride height you have to remember that there's a massive amount of water getting sucked into the bottom of the boat just like cleeters race boat and on a short boat there's not much you can do to counter that outside of extending the intake down and then you no longer have a river capable boat
Watching these two channels grow together simultaneously brings a tear to this fans eye. The content we all wanted. Cleet team and boosted boiz having a great time. Before fasterproms ruined the whole vibe
So it finally happened. Time to put the other impeller on there! Maybe add a speed sensor and make the FuelTech control your trim nozzle if it can be done too. Can't wait to see the airboat go in action!
@SirSloop yeah for sure. It's still just funny to me to see him excited about 54 mph. But I completely agree. I had a ski that would run about 65 mph, but it felt more like 120 mph.
@@Adam-nv9zo mine runs about 60. its crazy how fast slower speeds feel when you're on the water lol. I can't imagine what those crazy 1000hp jet skis they were riding a while back feel like
Honestly I would just keep it it the way she is man! I think you guys did absolutely amazing with this build. So proud of you guys, you guys inspire me.
Gator skippin and turbskis. Cleeters and Limo Skippys. What more could ya ask for in a adventure. Some of George's hilarious lines would have been a bonus. The little boat is rippin.
It's gotta be quite a bit. That engine and jet drive has gotta weigh at least twice as much as the small jet-ski setup in cleet's boat, so it's pretty impressive.
The boat alone is like 6K+ with all the option they put into it. Then slapped a k-series into it and boosted it. And also had it professionally wrapped. I’m guessing like 15K-20K in total? I’m sure I’m way off, but I’m curious as well.
@@grantlewis7885 isn’t this the “10ft Headwater” model? It’s $4,600 CAD for a complete kit alone. Then they put like all the options I’m sure, like the Lexan Windshield, which is $850 alone. And then the welded hull alone is another $3250 CAD on top. Add the freight shipping cost to North America, and I’m sure you’re looking a pretty penny.
Turn key ready to go they run $40,000 to $60,000. Kits that you weld up are pretty reasonable and the option s dictate the cost. 1 stringer, 4 stringer, type of windshield, the walk through windshield, stomp grate or welded grate, it all adds to the price of the boat. Since they bought a 4 seater, prewelded, with many of the options, I'm guessing around $20,000 without the engine. You can buy used ones ready to go for around $15,000. Theres also a discount if you buy 2, 3, or more. I forgot the upper end jetdrive they went with. So I'm probably low at $20,000.
Those jet boats are pretty awesome for calm water running aside for the odd rapid. I wouldn’t suggest an open ocean run. Not a fan of seeing those gators observing dinner motoring by. Cleetus will be back with an upgrade for sure. 👍👍🇨🇦
Make sure you got the right jet when you switch to E85 and 20psi, you might get nothing out of it and might even blow shit up if the jet starts cavitating badly
It's all rpm based, as long as they stay under whatever the maximum rpm rating for that pump is they're fine. The housing is designed to flow that rate.
@@otm646 yes but that's attached to the volume and mass of water it's flowing, which determines the HP requirement at whatever given RPM. So what's optimized for this setup won't be optimized for the E85 high boost cuz it'll be able to move a lot more water, but it'll need more pump to keep up the flow. But it's ok, Kyle mentioned something in the video about it, he knows 🤘
It's a little concerning that there's never any mention of safety upgrades as these rockets keep going faster and faster. I know it feels sissy but just in case of an under water, catastrophic failure, it might be a good idea to have some harnesses or noodles available. Looks super fun though.
They wear fire suites at the track but not lifejackets on the boat. I always thought that was ironic. Lifejackets will save your life just like a seatbelt, harnes, HANS, or cage. Just look at what happed to Leo from SxSVlog the first time they rode with Cleet. You can never be too careful...
With which E-85 are You supposing and guessing, 'guestimating' these results ? local, fuel, filling station, 'pump' version "E-85", which is commonly 40% ethanol upt to 55%, in warmer temperatures up to 65% in some locations or proper, true E-85=85% ethanol = racing C-85 or something in between ?? It seems that Your "guestimates" are incorrect - how so ? if currently using 'pump fuel' with 10 lbs boots achieves 54 MPH, and each 1 lb increase of boost increased 1 MPH, then to achieve 60 MPH is 6+ MPH, such the boost would also increase 6+ lbs =>thus, 16 lbs boost would result in 60 MPH, 14 lbs MPH would achieve 58 MPH, 18 lbs boost achieves 62 MPH, 20 lbs boost achieves 64 MPH. Then adding the improved power with the use of ethanol increases from there, each result including from lower through higher boost levels. Good Luck Sincerely
@@ForceFed Your reply is appreciated along with its acknowledgement and acceptance. Though, my comment just conveyed the correct assessment, evaluation and simple calculations. All The Best, Sincerely
These guys can make any thing that can hold a Honda engine work wht a amazing job well done peace love n much blessings can wait to see the truck make its first pass
You guys are the 2 dudes that make shit yourself that is world wide. On your own. Love you Kyle and Wyatt friends who came from nothing and welding class to here beefing Garrett that makes him love you guys even more for doing a build no one has new invention
Kyle, don’t worry about the RU-vid experts. Everyone on RU-vid in the comment section is an expert in everything. You do what makes you happy. I don’t understand why people don’t just enjoy the video and leave positive comments or nothing at all. Trust me I don’t agree with everything people do but I try to be polite and offer helpful advice without sounding like a know it all or I just say nothing at all. Keep doing what you do. Most of us appreciate and enjoy your content. 👍🏻
Kyle you NEED/MUST move your jet-ovater/nozzle trim switch to your steering wheel, where you can hit it with you thumb 👍, for safety, and performance!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
18:13 I love that "WUA, Somethings breaking" it just tells a lot about the nature of the job and spirit of kayle. Keep up the great work guys! I am loving these videos and especially how frequently they come.
A mini jet boat drag racing series would be cool. Oh and it would seem that a jet boat would go faster with prop speed you should put a rotary in it with a huge turbo. Than spin it to 10k RPM.
