In this riveting episode of Rich Rebuilds, our fearless host embarks on a daring quest to delve into the world of mini Jet Boats, a realm dominated by gas-powered beasts. However, Rich, being the maverick that he is, sets his sights on an electric conversion, a path less traveled in the adrenaline-fueled world of watercraft. With a 10ft boat in hand, he entrusts his friend Brian with the intricate task of welding, a process fraught with challenges that only a true craftsman can conquer.
As sparks fly and aluminum melds under Brian's expert hands, the boat begins to take shape, inching closer to its electrifying transformation. The duo faces setbacks and minor leaks during the testing phase, but true to form, they tackle each obstacle head-on, emerging victorious in their quest for watertight perfection. Brian's insights into the nuances of aluminum welding shed light on the meticulous craftsmanship required for such a project, underscoring the dedication and skill that go into every weld.
Meanwhile, Rich unveils his ingenious plan to repurpose a side-by-side vehicle for its components, a strategic move in the ever-evolving landscape of EV conversions. As parts are meticulously dismantled and repurposed, the ethos of recycling and innovation shines through, showcasing Rich's commitment to sustainability and resourcefulness. With Linda's mathematical prowess aiding in the calculation of weight distribution for the electric boat, the stage is set for a thrilling aquatic adventure, where engineering meets artistry in a symphony of metal and water.
