We built the world's cheapest jet boat! This homemade jet boat is made from scrap metal, a trailer lid, and a Predator 212cc jet pump. We build the jet boat and take it on its first test drive.

Throw a reducer on the outlet under the boat and she will go faster. I used to drill piling holes for marinas with a similar pump and a (30') 2.5" "jet pipe". At the end we had a 2.5''' to 1'' reducer and it was powerful enough to carve out massive holes in the clay lake bed where I needed piling to go in.

@FoolOfATuque Жыл бұрын

That makes sense. Basically you’re adding way more velocity for the same pressure. Also this looks like a semi-trash pump which might not be as good as a high pressure pump. A high pressure pump would produce double the pressure.

Not convince with the 90 they can achieve a laminar flow without loosing a ton of GPM wich if the case they will achieve nothing. We are not talking of and impaler in a pipe reving at crazy speed barely building up pressure. Just ading a straight pipe on the 90 will reduce turbulence a lot without loosing to much displacement. If they rev higher pressure will go pretty high with this kind of impaler.

To be fair. Ghpc saw the mini jet boat on Cleetus McFarlands channel and copied his idea to make a tiny jet boat. They just actually followed through quickly because Garrett has so many more things going on and can't get to his. Basically bought the same boat and fast tracked the building of it before cleetus had a chance to and attracting views towards themselves when people search for mini jet boat after watching the cleetus video.

You really need to increase the pressure coming out of the pump if you want to increase your speed. Try putting a smaller (nozzle) on the outlet. And put a lip on the back side of the inlet (pickup) so it feeds more water in easier when your moving.

Don't need pressure at all only GPM. More you displace water more faster you go. 300 GPM pump at 8 psi will do better than a 100 GPM at 60 psi pump.

@SilvaDreams Жыл бұрын

@@legro19 Yes but you end up hitting a wall because of weight of the pump and it's like having a huge engine with lots of power and torque.. But a low ratio transmission. They just have a wide open pipe as the output you need some compression at the nozzle for better speed as it increases the speed of the water coming out.

@legro19 Жыл бұрын

@@SilvaDreams The reason they put a restriction on jet boat is because it's an impaler in a pipe. The water is not going in straing ligne perpendicular to the pipe axis. she is spiraling in it (turbulence) so your water move slower on your axis but adding a restriction force it to accelerate to keep pressure equilibrium by doing so she stop spiraling and start moving perpendicular to the flow (laminar flow). Now they don't have a impaler in a pipe he is in a housing with a 90 at the exit and it's on purpose. So they don't have that much turbulence in it just a straight pipe will stabilise enough. Maybe using a bell like on jet boat (don't know the real name of the part) wich create aspiration at the exit of the pipe and direct the flow will help without reducing the volume of water exiting the pump.

Since ya'll are considering an engine swap I'd say to also make modifications to the water intake by adding a mesh like what Charles was talking about and a scoop so that water can flow into the pump easier. Also reducing the water outlet like what others have commented would make it a bit faster as well. PS. Been digging the content, keep it up!

@Cybertruck1977 Жыл бұрын

Get rid of the underwater outlet. Jet drives work on reaction to the water blast. Not from pushing against the surrounding water. Jet boats discharge water into the air when the boat is on plane. Also like many have said reduce the outlet size a little to increase velocity.

about time! Ive been saying you need a boat build since you bought that place!!

I think swapping to a kayak or canoe and retrofitting the pump to that would yield an immediate improvement. plus you can get 3 man versions so you can all sit in safely. if you do that youll probably also be able to change the routing for the water, right now the water has to make so many 90 degree turns to get in and out who knows how much potential speed youre losing in that mess of flow.

A jet pump pulls as much as it pushes, angling the inlet helps. Like many have said, reduce outlet to increase output speed over volume. And then remember that jet pumps reduce engine efficiency by at least 1/3, so the more power the better.
