Popular Post square Posted June 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2023 I bought the Grom a little jetboat a few years ago, it's 1300 long or so and had a gas powered trash pump for a donk, it was built in greymouth I think. it was loud and slow but she had some fun in it So ran it like that for a few years then it blew up and sat under a tree. A few months back I dragged it out..made a new intake, bolted a 140mm ski unit in the back and sorted steering then put a 48v electric chainsaw motor in there for a drive unit. It went ok but wouldnt quite get on step and got wet and fried itself. So then I got a 5000w 72V emoto kit ( ex surron ) off AliExpress with a foot pedal. All waterproof they reckoned. So here it is, I'm running chain drive for now til I get the gearing right ( it's turning at 6k or so max now ) then will put a belt on it I think. A mate at work built the pack and bms and it's good for 40 minutes or so. She loves it and missus fits in it too. Highly recommended I can vouch for the waterproofness, I got in it and tried doing doughies on Friday and sunk it, girl laughed at me, dried it all out and it's fine. Here's a quick vid of it : https://youtube.com/shorts/wcsHLeL9Xzo?feature=share 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
