If you have ever wanted a jet ski, I wouldn’t think you have imagined it in the shape of a UFO. Now, here’s a Vietnamese YouTuber who made a jet ski UFO and I am like, why not? Creator Tran Long Ho of Mr. Ho Thanh Che YouTube channel has spent much time sculpting and building this unidentified jet boat, before taking it to the water for a crazy ride.
The video – released on YouTube – which showcases the process of building the UFO boat in detail, starts with the simple tracing of a flying saucer base on the floor and the construction of a to-design arm from scrap material, which would later help Mr Tran Long Ho and his team to craft the basic structure out of what appears as usual sand.
Designer: Mr Ho Thanh Che
Built upon a sculpture of sand and later cement (to harden it), the UFO jet boat is a look-alike of a mysterious flying object. Even though it is not one! The creator used this sand and cement sculpture to mold a fiberglass shell for the saucer’s body.
The body is then coated with purple paint followed by steel frames that are used to hold this jet skis body secure. Next up, hexagonal cutouts are made from wood, which are then plastered onto the cabin frame for insulation. There are numerous windows cut out in the entire structure which bear acrylic panes and are also installed with solar panels.
The motorized door is a sassy way into the cabin of this mysterious boat. The cabin is pretty cramped for space but is neatly done – revealing no wires, pipes or the scrap it is made from. The inside is lit with LED lights, the cockpit has buttons for various onboard controls, while the interesting steering wheel bearing the words YouTube is pretty fancy.
Since the cabin is fairly low, the rider has to recline back in the seat and reach out for the speed padel when steering it over the waters. The engine – which is the same as one you’d find in a jet ski – rests under the rider’s seat and it powers the UFO jet boat for an impressive ride. There is no word on its top speed, but we can see it glide really fast (check out the video above to believe).
