Jet Boat First Float "Project EBAY"

My EBAY project boat finally floats. 95 % of the parts in this boat came from Ebay. I achieved my goal of 85% or more. It was a test and it was alot of fun. We finally floated it July 4 weekend 2007. 2 1/2 yrs,alot of Yeungling, and help from alot of great friends. This video is a tribute to them. Sadly the engine ate itself a few short hours of operation later due to a valve train issue. I purchased what I thought were quality parts but turned out to be chinese. An expensive lesson I will never make again. But it was fun while it lasted. Thanks to everyone who pitched in.

You built a boat with eBay parts and expected it to work?
