Honestly when you think about how small the engine is I’m impressed! Now you gotta strap 2 of them bad boys to it!!!!

Hey man even if it isn't fast , it's still the first jet propelled kayak I have ever seen! Props to you Zoffinger I always enjoy your creative projects!

You are the master of insane kayak projects, way to go Marty.

Doesn’t matter how slow or unpractical it is. You built something very unique! Imo that’s badass! I’m sure everyone is gonna be asking about it wherever you go. Keep it up!

Remember the three motor Bass Raider? I think that needs to happen on this yak!

When you lit that thing, I heard the theme song from the movie Top Gun 👊😎

I’ve been waiting for this! Merry Christmas!

You know dude. I’ve been watching you for a few years now. Always had your fishing videos on when my friends and I were around the pool table. I’ve seen all of your kayak builds. I’ve always been satisfied. But this, good sir... this is gold ! Keep it up. Looking forward to your trip coming up

Thank You for Dropping This on Us, Zoffers! it may seem Anti-Climatic to some, but this is what Research & Development is all about. The Zoffer should never leave port (home) without his Jet-Yak...who else has one? Merry Christmas, y’all. This is a Cool Community & I’m proud to be a part of it.

Loved watching this very impractical powering of a kayak :D

This is seriously awesome Marty. I wish I could have come supported your kayak business in Tampa, but look forward to the great loop thing you are doing. Thank you for so many years of great content! you were the original youtube kayak fisherman and are responsible for my kayak fishing obsession. Just wanted to know you are loved and I see you!

Thoroughly enjoyed your progress through this. The man who never made a mistake never made anything. Well done.

Awesome! Been watching the build and waiting for test run. Twin engines would look sweet! Keep it up love the channel.

Only in Florida!

Mount that on a hydrofoil surfboard and you've got a rocket.

Lots of luck on your trip, your a talented nomadic soul, your not trapped in business. Looking forward to your new adventures. .

"It's junk!" "Always with the negative waves, Moriarty!"

OMG! Another Kelly’s Heros fan! 😂 Love that movie!

Well, I can't say the performance was all that impressive but your visions and ingenuity always deliver, what a fun project, have a great trip Marty...

"It is not the most practical thing in the world". I believe those are the same words Wilbur said to Orville after he landed for the first time. ;)

Breaking News: Florida man blows himself and kayak up by strapping a jet engine to it.

marty thank you for putting a giant smile on my face. watching you take off was hilarious and awesome!

I thought you were going to have a serious accident with that thing so I am relieved to see it doesn't actually go too fast! What an awesome and creative project.

Merry christmas and good luck on the great loop

Who cares how fast it goes, the fun factor is off the scale!

Point it more to the water to generate more lift on the back

Madd Marty! Used to hang out at Shell Point Marina 20 years ago. Had a lot of fun and caught alot of fish. Had a 17 ft. Carolina Skiff C/C. Know all the areas you go. Great place to live. Hang in there. You belong there. God bless! Be Safe and Healthy.

Marty, this is friggin’ awesome! Merry Christmas brother!

WHAT ? I CAN'T HEAR YOU. Merry Christmas Marty !

Practical? Where's the fun in that? I was waiting to hear the song "Danger Zone" in the background!

Awesome dude! I watched the buildout video and have been waiting. Good job man.

Merry Christmas and Congratulations on a successful test.

This is one of the loudest videos ever

This guy needs a girl friend to spend his money on !

Congratulations!!! Such an awesome accomplishment. love the channel, looking forward to the upcoming journey.

One of my husband's and my favorite channels on youtube. Keep it up!👍👍👍

You did it ! Good patience ! Well done

I wish you were my neighbor. I would rather listen to that beautiful jet and see the awesome things you create, than listen to my neighbors barking dogs.

Never thought of it! Incredible and stay safe.

Marty, hoping you have the Merriest of Christmases and Happiest of New Years EVER! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!

True, an electric trolling motor would be more efficient,and sensible . But your jet build and videos are so you, and cool. Have a great trip Marty, and thanks for sharing.

When you switched hats I thought to myself, please have aviation goggles too. When you pulled them out I think we all won a little bit! This video was a victory before you even engaged the launch sequence.

That was pretty awesome Marty! Sounded great.

Best Christmas Present ever! Merry Christmas!

When you said a jet engine and a bike I immediately thought of pewee herman. Merry Christmas can't wait to watch your journey. Live it up!

Great stuff man. Merry Christmas

Loved it Marty. All the Best

This was well worth the build. I enjoyed it. Great job

My favorite present yet, thanks Z.

Looked like fun, merry Christmas

Happy Holidays that was very cool to watch! Hope you continue to make improvements because that jet kayak is awesome and i no you can make it fly! Thanks 😁👍🚤🐕

You know you had fun man designing it, building it testing it getting it ready tying up loose ends hell I bet you that was a lot of fun to build

Very cool jet powered kayak Merry Christmas buddy

A Belated Merry Christmas Marty! Great much awaited update on the Jet Kayak. It actually went quite well, but as you say, noisy, inefficient, and expensive! Now imagine if you had that amount of thrust under water, where the jet would have something to push against? Food for thought for the future. Stay safe & well. 👍👍😁

Brother it was great talking with you last Saturday about all your projects. The ingenuity you have shown for all of them is incredible. Loved the way u built the controls for the 3 outboards. Very forward thinking. Hope to meet u again if I can assist you in any way or u want to go to Cape Lookout while your here I would be glad to run you over there. Take Care Gene

It may not be practical but it was fun and I love this video Marty.

Dude, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen! Keep up the good work and stay hungry... :)

Hey Marty, it works, moved the kayak, maybe not as fast as you thought, it didn't catch on fire so it was a success. I think an actuator, twin jets and you might have something there! Fun fascinating project! Can't wait to maybe meet you on the great loop, Gods speed and Merry Christmas Marty!

This is what they should be giving out the Nobel Prize for!!! Good on you, Marty. Rain check for at least two shots in Boston.

Good vid Marty! Having fun is the most important part! Looks like it needs a bit more weight toward the front of the yak.

That was awesome. Merry Christmas!

Have a very Marty Christmas! Great that you had a blast

Yep, twin engines for sure, just in case one dumps on you, ha ha...You're an inspiration to all KZfaq creators. Thanks for an awesome year Marty!

What a great video and build series. I really enjoyed it. Your talent for making fun projects on a normal persons budget are great. It’s cool to watch builders throw a limitless amount of money at a project, but no realistic. Keep doing things your way, and we will watch!..... now.... to make that engine noise into a ringtone!

You've come along way young man. Respect 👀

Coo coo merry Christmas mr.Marty.

Thanks for this long waited video marty. Very cool even know it's not a speed demon

Awesome! & Merry Christmas 👍

Mountains are made one step at a time....keep up the great work .....will lead to wonderful inventions.....think outside the box

Good Work Marty, I have a PA14 with a 5hp Outboard on it, a custom aluminium transom, top speed is 22klms, but cruising speed around 15klms, I yak island hop Yak camping, there are other Jet Yaks vids but your setup is the Purest.

So siked for this! You rule Marty, Happy Holidays man!

Fire video awesome to see it built then see it on the water running

I think what you have done is really cool man thank you.

At least you did it! Congratuations!

This was still definitely hilarious regardless. I pretty much figured it wasn't going to set a speed record. It's just not as efficient as a prop directly in the water. I love stuff like this though so keep up the great work and Merry Christmas my friend.

That's awesome! Merry Christmas!

Way to go Marty :) Merry Christmas mate

That is really neat!!! It did a lot better then my model rocket motor I attached to the firework battleship I did as a kid!!!

Rocket man!!!!! Woooooooohooooooooooo! Brilliant Marty. Happy Christmas too. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Cool looking with the safety gear on. Merry Christmas to you and your pups. Hope Santa was good to them.

Still a badass project zoff, good job on the build

Hey!!Marty that's thing is awesome man and MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR dude wishes you from MALAYSIA

Crazy idea....but I love it! You are a great creator!!! Have fun l'ami!!!!

A 10 HP gas engine with a 42" prop will get you going over 30 mph. I built a Rocky Mountain Airboat back in the 80's and used it to cruise the Delaware River even through the rapids up 10 miles and down 10 miles from where I lived. A jet does nothing for you at these low speeds but drink fuel. I used to cruise down river to my Dad's place 5 miles south of me and then cruise back home on less than 1/2 gallon of gas. My measured thrust of that set-up was 50 pounds of thrust. It would move my little boat on wet grass. The turbine's exhaust speeds only come into play when the craft reaches the wind speed generated by the prop minus the drag. So, for example, in an airplane with such and such HP and a certain pitch prop it can only go X speed as that is the speed of the wind coming off the prop minus the drag. A turbine's exhaust speed is many times faster so, if it has the thrust to move the aircraft it can eventually get it to go much faster than any prop could. I give you an A+ for inventiveness and ingenuity though.

Very nice. A little tweaking and adjustments and you got it.♥️💪👍

Merry Christmas Marty ! ! ! ! !

That was cool thanks for sharing and merry Christmas

That’s awesome. Merry Christmas
