RC Pump-jet Boat

RC Pump-jet Boat

I crafted this compact vessel for navigating the pond adjacent to my office. It had to be diminutive, remarkably easy to handle, and possess an extremely shallow draft to accommodate the occasional encounter with water lilies. The outcome is a boat engineered entirely around one of those affordable pump-jet modules available on Amazon (check out the link below). I 3D printed the hull solidly, and it turns out to be a bit too heavy to get airborne with the current motor/battery setup. I assume I'll either re-print the hull or upgrade the motor eventually, but for now... it's still quite agile and enjoyable to operate. UPDATE: I've added a thinner hull, which is more challenging to print but slices through the water much faster. I highly recommend printing the cabin as thinly as possible too. Due to this boat's small size, weight has a significant impact on its performance.
