I finally am almost done running wire, steering cables, etc. I'm using a Pelican case for the electronics. Need to track down some water-proof wire connectors I can unplug to hook up a battery charger etc.

Thanks. And that RC build is awesome! I modeled a door frame and door for the water proof battery box, and am having those printed now. After that, most of what is left is pretty straight forward, running some wires, throttle, the steering cables etc.

Hey, sorry for lack of updates, I took some time off to work on other projects during winter, but now I want to get this sucker ready for the kids to ride this Spring. I built a ride plate (and motor houseing) out of fiberglass, mounted the trolling motor, and modeled some pieces and had them...

Well, I didn't get the motor and controls done in time, but I got it lookin pretty good for the Maker Faire.

Yeah, I can't wait to get to takin videos! Also for anyone in the Portland Oregon area, I will have this little Jetski as well as my other kid sized vehicles at the OMSI Mini Maker Faire, Sep 12th and 13th, come check em out. I decided to ditch the idea of a 6" to 4" pvc reducer around the...

Haha, Yeah I've ridden both, and I have no idea how stable this one will be, but they weigh less than 1/4 what I do, and how/high the ski sits in the water will be factor. I'm sure they will both start with knees down and sitting. I could always put bigger foam around the edge too. We'll see, I...

It's like 17" wide, 38" long. The intended riders are 4 and almost 6 years old, both weigh around 40 lbs. I have had them stand on it and hold the handlebars etc and it appears to be the right size. But I am just winging it as far as buoyancy, center of gravity etc. I plan on having a...

I have finally finished most of the cat's hair body filler, and have moved onto the lightweight body filler... and as is often the case with bodywork, so close, yet so far away.

I am going to make a sort of nozzle to go around the prop (maybe use a ABS 6-to-4 inch reducer), then put a screen or something in the rear pivoting piece of the nozzle to keep little fingers and toes outta there. Deciding if I'll use 1 or cables from the steering linkage to the nozzle. I have...

Interesting, never really thought about doing that. I should have maybe done that for the lower hull. Although sometimes transparency is nice, to see behind a layer your cutting or something. I'm not great at fiberglass, so this project is partially to get better at it. And I have no...

Hey everyone, I'm new here, but wanted to share a project of mine. I'm building an approximately 1/2 scale jet ski for my little kids to ride, roughly based on the X2. I'm merging some of the features from the older ones, with the newer generation ones for what I think will work best. It'll...
