That is a nice, simple design. It looks like to will work without too much trouble. A couple thoughts, if I may: A low profile scoop to help draw the water in better. When you get up to speed, you will have some air mixing in with the water. The scoop will help reduce the 'stall' effect. A 'seaweed' guard to keep the plants from getting into the jet channel. It's not a problem out in the middle of a lake, but near shore you are likely to get into it. When you were testing the engine and the drive, I heard a squeal coming from the drive. The chain looks like it might be a just a little too tight, although it's hard to tell for sure. Great project! It will be fun when you get it launched!

Well done. A few good points raised in other comments. Your youtube peer support group is a valuable tool. I will offer this observation. The sliding engine mount eliminates the usual adjustable idler sprocket, and is very smart thinking, but it leaves the engine itself on a very shaky footing when it should be bolted solidly to the hull stringers due to vibration and torque. it will work, but it might not hold up long. If it starts to rattle itself loose, just remount the engine to a solid base and add an idler on an adjustable arm. It can be a swing arm, or an extend/retract arm, either way. Also it looks like you used a salvaged thruster. Right. No sense reinventing the wheel and it could be a complex and expensive thing to make. But it will be more efficient if the engine and transmission you are using is close in torque and RPM to the engine and transmission that originally powered it. These things tend to have a narrow performance/efficiency band, so I am led to believe. I really love what you are doing and I will be watching your followon videos.

Thank you for your reply. I went out today, and got the engine tuned, I believe pretty good. I think that old Berkeley pump is worn out, I put in tail shaft bearing, but I can see light thru the impeller and housing, and was told that's not good. Berkeley doesn't even acknowledge the pump on there web site. I was told get a "wear ring" but don't know if it has one or where to find it . The pump was made in 68'&69' for the first Seadoos & I guess a few boats. The only reason I bought the thing as a project was I had never seen a miniature Berkeley before, and thought it was cool. I'll keep you informed if you like. K.C.

Cool project. Just fyi. The jet pumps are set up for 5000 to 6500 rpm. You might want to change the sprockets to more of a 1 to 1 ratio if you can find a sprocket small enough to put on the shaft to match the clutch. Or move the engine forward and lower so that you can direct couple to the shaft. Maybe go with a universal joint shaft to allow the engine to direct drive the pump. Jet skis use an angled motor to line up directly with the pump shaft. Could do away with the clutch since the water acts like a fluid clutch. Another problem will be the hp. Typical ski jet pumps use at least 50hp to drive a pump like that.

Thank you a bunch brother! That has been bothering me since i started this project. I never was sure if this 6.5 hp engine was going to ne enough to push her. I think what im going to do is just use this small engine to test the overall physics of the boat as a whole. After that (if everything holds up) ill upgrade to an actual pwc motor. You are extremely helful and PLEASE if you see anything else that could use improvements im always looking for a better way. Thanks a lot!
@bilderbobb

ronaldhotboy I have raced cars of one kind or another, including go karts for 50 years. And I can tell ya, don’t under estimate what you can do with a 6.5 HP engine. For $15 you can turn that 6.5 into 10 HP. For less than a hundred you can turn into 12 HP. That last engine I built was dyno’d at 22.3 HP and turned 10K RPM, and I had around $750 in it. I also noticed you have a shoe type clutch on there. With a disk clutch, like a Bully, you can adjust the stall to hit the power band harder and faster. There is one thing to be EXTREMLY careful of tho. The stock flywheel on any of the clone engines is absolutely dangerous at RMPs higher than 6K. The magnets are glued onto the flywheel and can come off and hit the coil causing the entire side of the engine to explode. Simple solution is to put on an ARC flywheel. I am sure the jet drive will move the boat, just a matter of how fast. This has made me want to build a boat myself.......... thinking about a jet drive tunnel hull.

That bearing might cook do you think.

Wood work, motor mounts, fiberglass work, metal work...you hit all of those nice areas of knowledge with this one. I'd love to make something like this. It has an interesting to make. Where did you source the jet boat parts from?

Thank you so much my brother! Its just so soothing to work with different materials. I ordered all of my parts from ebay (95 wetjet duo)

You don't need the centrifugal clutch, because you can just start it in the water, but if you want to go faster your going to have to hear it up put a big gear on the engine and small on the axle for the propeller, there's alot less resistance in water verses pushing weight on land

Thanks a lot brother; someone else told me the exact same thing about the clutch. When I install the new engine we will test that theory out for sure

OK, cool idea. I am wondering a couple things. First how do you lock the adjusting mechanism? Second, you said 6.5 hp. I am wondering how fast you expect this to go? I can't say as I really don't know the size of boat, but I would guess it will be a fairly slow jet boat as most ski's are running at least 10 x the power and the new modern ski's and pwc's are well into 130 hp +. I am interested to see this work and how it turns out. The concept is great, your ideas are kinda cool and I wish you the best with it. BTW, ventilate the engine compartment well for the question regarding the explosive qualities of gasoline. You could even put a fan in the compartment which is required in all inboard factory boats. Cheers, Happy Trails!!! You can check out my mini build if you like on my You Tube page, it may give you some ideas!!!

+smwizzz Thanks a lot brother! This engine was a test engine used to see exactly where Im at and about how much more power will be needed to fulfill my goal. The chain adjuster will be deleted along with the test engine. I just did the first test run and I was hoping for 10mph; we managed to get up to 9mph. I will be uploading the footage sometime this week. Thanks again for all the helpful information !

Se inverter a relação, maior no motor é menor na turbina, vai aumentar o giro da turbina e aumentar o desempenho, ou só aumentar o pinhão do eixo do motor

That impeller was most likely mated to a 2 stroke 30+ HP engine. 2 strokes can run 7,000-to 8,000 RPM'S, that 4 stroke 4 HP is only gonna rev 4,000 at best, you will need 2 to 1 gearing PLUS more HP...Good luck.

for that engine the gearing is probably ideal. If you had a larger engine you'd need to make the pump gear smaller to spin it faster. Ive owned a few jet boats and actually torque is the most important aspect but that engine is going to be too small. It takes alot of torque for the impeller to force water through the exit.. very cool though...good stuff..

+charles b Thanks a lot Charles! Sorry im just seeing your comment. Just so happened to scroll down and seen a bunch of unread comments. You are SO right about the torque issue. Here I have her geared 3:1 which did get me up to 9mph. Well I changed the gearing last week to gain more speed ( 1:1.8) then.....wa....wa....waaaaaaaaaa. lol SHE STALLED! I was only able to give her about 1/8 throttle before she stalled on me. I SO wish I would've seen your comment earlier. Thank you for your help brother!
