A homemade JETSKI. *** Not to be missed. ***

[MrOmoniyi101]

this is brilliant ,,i wish your brother will come to Ghana one day so we could do the same,,,all expenses paid for..

[Remy005]

want to know how the engine was cooled...what method did you use

[airboatoutlaw]

ubda my friend its the coolest sounding jet ski in town to bad its so funking slow

[airboatoutlaw]

lmao wtf you have to want to kill yourself after all that and no payoff

[zanzark1]

The Big mistake was to use a diesel engine, that has a low RPM.

The jet impeller needs about 7000RPM for ideal operation.

[pologenius21]

iftyshifty.....a lot of people say stupid shit about someone's hobby. i admire your creativity

[purlbaker]

I think you did a great job! You did it yourselves and it looks like fun.

[flanksteak2]

Like any of these critical dumbasses could come close to building something like this.

Great job!

[nowhinerbabies]

you earned my respect!

[shortyjk95]

stupid if it only goes 45 with a 1500cc engine

[iftyshifty]

@shortyjk95 Maybe you should go over and fine tune it.

[collegedegreesonline]

Love to see backyard projects like this. It's great, wish you guys the best of luck.

[bimmer57]

Nice work -love it !!!! the world needs cracy people ;-)

I drive a diesel motorcycle !

[imtnzb]

Very Well done i am working on similar project.

[MrNeighbornextdoor]

what kind of pump did you use?

[weighedup23]

great build, looks like a tigershark

[fsxpilot23]

LOL id like to see this thing rip ass in a couple months

[Motorcycliste]

I'd be on the shore saying WTF while looking around for a farm tractor.

[Cringle84]

A diesel? Well that is something different, one thing I may add is it appears to be a bit sort of slow and heavy, is it even going up on the plane? Is it a displacement hull? The engine doesn't even sound like its labouring so could do with a bit of fine tuning with adapting the load to use the power better like a 2:1 step up gearbox to spin the jet faster, considering that Diesel power is more torque than speed like petrol. By the way, great work to the dude who did this

[ssRCcrawler]

looks good to me. i would call it a real home made jet ski

[Konst]

awesome project, well done indeed.

[nibbler125]

its a quadboat !

[skate2hell]

Great Jetski (Sea Doo)! Almost looks like a commercial of the shelf one :)

[jakob123125]

Isn't that a seadoo?

[airsoftman50]

What kept it afloat??

[jezega]

id laugh if they were all woo it works then boom! lol it like blows up XD! but the guy would have to be okay otherwise id feel bad for him lol

[PA5cAl1]

Cool idea. I think the motor is the problem. It's car motot and it's heavy. With a motorcycle motor it'll probably go fatser.

[Cringle84]

@PA5cAl1 Or a Rotax 2 stroke watercooled engine, like most other Jet Ski's have, motorcycle engines are a bit harder to attempt getting direct shaft coupling (depending on how its made), a great car motor would be a Subaru boxer style engines, if the Jet ski is wide enough to accomodate the width, I know they go well in boats due to being a flat motor, means you can have a floor instead of a big box in the middle of it.

[jamzva]

toyota engine????? nice

[Thetruthishere11]

not jet. no hp. more like a regular boat.

[iworkforme]

nice. so did he make the mold for the fibreglass?

[quadkid228]

thats not 45 mph

[biglj822009]

that 1500cc engine is that a motor cycle engine you are using of your jet ski

[iftyshifty]

@biglj822009 NO. Its a toyota car engine.

[notnowplz]

how long did it live? It would be a total bummer for the sealant on the fiberglas to go somewhere in the middle of the lake. Nice job to have some fun though.

[HnEhonda]

shod run a 2:1 or even a 3:1ratio, i mean its a deisel itll be able to turn it and it would go a hell of alot faster

[brickster42]

ud think it would go faster....

[razorfucker31]

this is a complete waste of time for the money you spent on this you could have got like an old 96 xp and really had some fun

[slinger25]

10/10 for effert. better than what i could have built. thats y i bought 1.

[morkfmspork]

That is beyond a couch that there is a sectional

[Boatdrunker]

It sounds bad ass cool!

[Amersack08]

I give it props !!!! yes it is slow but it will run forever !!!

[smichael12345]

for a homemade jetski thats klass.

what you need is a big v8 in it lol, then you'd go fast.

[bongst3m]

technically speaking a Jet Ski is any kawasaki PWC(personal watercraft) so no its not a jetski but a personal watercraft which is a jetski!!!! GOOD JOB!! with better hull and turbo u could do something.

[my98oldsmobile]

45km maybe

[AirsoftAddict08]

That is pointless plus my 2009 seadoo rxp can go 73 mph because it has a 255 hp supercharged engine

[mageac]

does that make you smart because you hand built a one of a kind jet ski...

no

[AirsoftAddict08]

It dosent make them smart either becasue they put the stupidest engine in it why a disel yeah that sure does make them smart

[mageac]

why is it the stupidest engine, because its reliable and gives good fuel economy?

not everything has to be fast, and not everyone wants to go fast

[AirsoftAddict08]

ok it is not the stupidest engine for a car but a jetski i admire there creative but my opinin is it is not cool but like i said creative nofthing aginst them or you

[mageac]

they probably had it kicking around and wanted to put it in something so why not a jetski lol

[AirsoftAddict08]

true just get it out of the way

[bongst3m]

noob your ski doesnt do 73mph maybe 69 if your lucky

[AirsoftAddict08]

how much you want to bet it can go 73 with just me on it a little bit of gas and calm water plus i have a upgraded spartplugs

[SXRguyinMA]

you're a moron. your RXP will not do 73. ESPECIALLY not with the help of upgraded "spartplugs" lol. get a clue you dink

[AirsoftAddict08]

Your the moron I am the one with the jetski it went 69 when it was stock now it will go 73 tops if not 72 when theres just me on it  a little bit of gas plus i did not just upgrade the sparkplugs theres ton of other little modfications that we u add it all up gives u about 5 mph more plus has to be calm water because it sucks falling off a jet ski going 50 couldnt magine around 70 OOUUCCHH

[yellowPARTYHAT]

1500cc :O

[user1qaz2wsx]

nobodynoz11134: you mean, besides the fact that it can hardly move...???? Damn!!!! And there are people in the world who think this is jet ski...

[nobodynoz11134]

how is it homemade? that looks exactly like the ones we have here...

[iftyshifty]

Well a jetski would look like any other jetski wouldn't it. A pizza from US and a pizza from Italy will look alike apart from the quality. I admit my quality is not that good but i don't care.

[stevezerafa]

@iftyshifty First of all well done.Considering that you did everything yourself it's impressive. Can you please whta type of jet propulsion you used , cause I'm looking to buy one from somewhere.

[snowman44077]

@iftyshifty Well put, lol

[x1TDWP]

@iftyshifty American pizza and italian look much different i must say. but i see what you were trying to point out

[muchadoaboutnoting]

@nobodynoz11134 Well you have to copy something, don't you?

[PyroManiac424]

haha thats awesome! very creative! how much did this thing cost to build?

[iftyshifty]

Approx £1000.

[hdymer]

diesel?? why pick a heavy motor thats bad at high rpm, and cant fill up on the water???

[mwalsh59]

When the gentelman pushes shifty out ,he is saying my brother tried this and alas is no more.

[mwalsh59]

Barmy, para Mike

[wg5409]

Very cool!

[JonasHot27]

coOL!

[xXspecialopsXx]

ha ha listen to it when he starts it

[bhoff82]

Did you have a role in building it Ifty? If so, how difficult was it to get the parts out there? Where did you guys get the hull?

[iftyshifty]

The fibre glass moulding were made in Rawalpindi, the engine and steering was bought locally. However, the hull was bought from Karachi as they have a lot of boat yards because of being near the coast.

[12drizzo]

Where did you get the plans for it cause i want to build one

[iftyshifty]

This was built in Pakistan. I was just visiting from the UK. No plans were used unfortunately otherwise i would have passed them onto you.

[minnimerc]

brilliant...................

[seymore351]

Sea Doo's SUCK!! Good job on building your own ski.

[30GB]

cool homemade jet

y not use a gas engine instead of diesel engine?

[iftyshifty]

It for economic reasons because of the price of diesel but also because in the beginning it was a petrol engine but it kept on breaking down and so changed it to diesel.

[dave00009]

Is that you Manzar? On the ski or onland. Nice one mate.

[therealmccoy33]

that thing is cool! nice job!! very well done

[swoosh6929]

thats pretty cool man, building a fucking jet ski, id do it but i got my own seadoo at my cottage, and im lazy as fuck

[samer201]

my sea-doo rxp-x would fck this homemade jetski..

[iftyshifty]

Obviously mate. If mine was better than seadoo then i would be a multi-millionaire wouldn't I? Anyway, let me see you do better.

[EDHStrumpetplayer09]

well duh, but this isnt a contest on who has the best ski

this dude made what he could given what he had, you cant bash him for that.

he made his jetski you went to a dealer or bought yours online, i believe he deserves props for his handywork

[abmfaisal]

nice effort Ifty. I appriciate you on your successful efforts. I like this. Why dont you put our project pictres on the web and define the cost to help people who want to build it.

Again congratulations.

Faisal

[34muggsy34]

I am so impressed you could do this on your own!!!!!! The engine has a nice "Throaty" sound to it. Is the engine waterproofed if you tip your ski? Is regular gas engines available in Kashmir?

[iftyshifty]

A regular engine is available without any problems whatsoever but a diesel engine is much safer incase of collision etc. Also, if the ski gets tipped over it is OK as the compartment is screw sealed.

[RP4409]

I want one!

[iftyshifty]

NO PROBLEM for me to supply you with one but honestly - not recommended. The shipping costs are stupid. If you are from the U.S then you dont have a problem because they are quite cheap out there. PEACE.

[RP4409]

kick ass.....how cool is that! Your cousin is quite smart!

[shorto666]

woha!!!! Now thats something to be proud of ;). Wonder if youre going to post some schematics and stuff like that we want to build it too!

[iftyshifty]

Let me know if you go. I'll arrange for you to use the jetski's if you like. no problem. (along as you pay for the diesel).

[ALSYUK786]

Nice one Bro. AlhamoLillah I can see you were having a Great time. Inshallah I will also do the same when I visit Kashmir. Five Stars from me all the way :o)

[ALSYUK786]

Nice one Bro. AlhamdoLillah I can see you were having a great time :o) FIVE STARS FROM ME

[iftyshifty]

also a lot of then cannot swim although we make them put on a life jacket and so its also a responsibility of ours to make sure they don't try to go too crazy and drown.

[iftyshifty]

I understand where you are coming from. A lot of relatives decide to use the jetsk when they come and do not pay for diesel. So we have turned down the engine rev so that it does not cost us much, hence the speed. Normally its on full power and pretty good.

[Bragzz]

Great effort and everything, but that looks slow as fuck. Especially for a 1500cc engine..
