    6061 T-6 Super high tensile aluminum is very tough stuff. Looks like he armored the bottom as well before adding the UHMW skin. Armor might have been another layer of 6061, or it might have been AR Steel plate. Either way, I agree with you, he did some damage, but it might not be as bad as you think.
    I've hit rocks hard enough to jump my 18ft jetboat about 4 ft out of the water without any more damage than a scuff mark in the UHMW. ( I've also cracked/broken almost every weld in the bottom of my boat. Some more than a few times, lol)

    I agree, very impressive. I would love to get my hands on a set of plans for those little units. I always wanted to build my own jetboat, and that looks like just the ticket.

    That was not me, pretty sure I would be screaming like a little girl if I had been there. I found the clip on another site and had to share it.... Right after I stopped twitching and picked my jaw up off the keyboard.

    I think you're right. I've always wanted to build one of those little boats. Maybe someday.
