My homemade plastic boat/water craft/ raft
This was the first test, including a mini stability test , but being carefull as this is a city lake...aint that clean, and smells bad, didnt want to risk falling in at all. But the boat/watercraft works well, cant wait to go fishing. Made of...Five , 5 gallon bottle (5th is hidden in middle back completely submerged) , pvc pipe, cement mixing tub, storage bin , 2 bowls (on front) and milk crates. Oh, and my awesome paddle made from a dust pan and big end of an old ocean rod.
Homemade Minimost Hydroplane Boat
This is a video about the Minimost boat that I built in 2007. This sort of boat is the predecessor of the jet ski. Many such boats were built by youngsters in the 1950's and 1960's from plans in Science and Mechanics and other do-it-yourself magazines. In this video the boat is being powered by a 1958 18hp Evinrude outboard with a 12 pitch prop that pushes it at about 30 mph.
Exo Concept EXO - the new age jet ski
the EXO bends two traditional rules of jet ski: prone to ride, instead of seated or standing, and it is earth-friendly electric powered. lets just say that on the aesthetic perspective it definitely scores for its aerodynamic low profile design...

My briggs & stratton powered boat running at sea
Finally got the boat on the water and running great! Used it all last summer, but i did some mods to it this summer, like the stearing system that comes from a old Ariens lawn tractor. The engine is a Briggs & Stratton 8hp from a 1977 Gilson snow blower, and it runs perfect!
