I was going to drop this in my build thread, but everyone seemed to really enjoy the Dajiban vid.

We have been pretty quiet lately, but here is why:

 

Conrad and the new digs.

I'm worried that Conrad might try to pick up some neighborhood girls and take them on dates if he gets a hearse.

I've actually looked at what goes into a jet sprint boat. The jet drive is where the big money is - it costs tons to build one that can handle the power that makes a jet sprint boat fast and agile. But what if you were to use 2~4 old jet ski powertrains...?

My parents had a bombardier boat that had twin jetski drivetrains. 75 hp each.

It was quick and agile, but not fast. 4 would be really hard to package.

I was super impressed when Conrad walked out of the garage and then into ANOTHER GARAGE! That space is perfect for car prep. I'm jealous.

These videos are gold.  Congrats on the new place, looks like there's lots of room for activities!

Based on my experience, even dead neighbors will be salty about you parking a hearse in the driveway.  Hell, even people who aren't your neighbors will complain.

Nice neighborhood.  It looks like people are just dying to move in there...

Interesting thought, but I think it would be hard to manage four separate drive lines. That said... If I were to completely lose my mind and put all that time and money into a boat... it would have to be a replica of Gar Wood's Miss America X

Conrad is pretty happy with the Dajiban right now.... not to say if you find a mid 60's Cadillac coachbuilt along the side of the road... we won't try to drag it home laugh

The new place is pretty perfect... the down side is the back garage is on grade and water coming down the hill runs inside. The other down side is the new house doesn't have a full basement so my woodshop needs a place to exist.

The plan as it is now, is to put up a building in the empty half acre for my shop, then get the back garage dried up, and make it the wood shop.
