That jet mate brought back memories from my childhood. So much fun.

I apologize, having a private pond that is too small for your collection of mini boats must be challenging.

That's definitely a unique collection. 👌

Man that Mercub is begging for some more HPs

They're all cool in their own unique way. Thanks for sharing

Super fun video and thank you for making it. Your mini-boat collection is wonderful.

Finally. Some one who shares in my addiction. Im working to get to your level. Seriously impressive collection!

Had a cougar cub as a 10 year old in the early 90’s. 👍🏻. I remember it was a very wet ride.

Those boats are so cool! Real collectors toys! Congratulations!

I would be addicted to these 😂

What an awesome collection an piece of property how do you not have any mini jet boats I can't think of the name but you know the all aluminum mini jet boats the ones Cletus McFarland has

I’ve always have have “2 ft envy” every boat in my life has been 2ft longer than the last. I see the fun and attraction to these fun mini boats!!!!!

Best collection of the most well known (and best condition) mini-boats I’ve ever seen. That is coolest way possible to keep the pond scum and algae off of a pond!!! Thanks for sharing!

This is really badass cool. These were never seen in the states back in.....the 🙄. Been boating for 45yrs +. Thanks for sharing my friend. Well done.

Wow! That is a pretty special collection! Thanks for sharing your collection with us....

Awesome collection! Impressive that they all appear to be in perfect working order! You also have a dream property! The new one will no doubt be even better!

These are really cool! I’m from central Wisconsin, I work in Oshkosh almost daily and have never heard of those Mercubs!! Great video!

U have an amazing collection!❤ id be super happy to just have one of these!

Hey just wanted to let you know your addictor mini boat 190 is in fact called a woody model there was only 500 made and yours looks to be repainted as the original would have some wood grain but not a bit on it. The sport model doesn’t have the rail on the front or the canopy top from factor. Another way to tell is to see if the wind shield came on it Because the sports model also didn’t have a wind shield and because the rub rail along the outside seems to be aftermarket just from looking at it addictor never manufactured a rub rail larger than the regular size they used.

Very cool boats. We had them in Australia in the 80’s too.

Cool collection.

My dad has a jetmate growing up. That this was a blast. Small but fun and wouldnt mind having one again

Watermouse is unbelievable fun to drive. We had 2 at my dad's boat business and they were so cool

Cougar Cub out of Hamble, Southampton, England. As you probably know they built very successful championship Catamarans. We had one here years ago and was great fun to play about with. Got hooked got an 86 Cougar US1 33 now, Remember the Cub being a lot cheaper to run haha

Beautiful collection!

Great collection

Great video. Great collection.

This video is so awesome!!!! I’ve been waiting for you to publish it since I saw the Tic Tok. I’m guessing the two Mercury’s we around where you live cause of the plants being in WI.

Your my new hero!👍🏻

very cool... I live in Canada and I have a 1970 14 ft Purple metal flake Sidewinder with a Mercury Thunderbolt ignition Kiekhaefer 80 H.P. 2 stroke..... Not as small as those but on the same street.

I forgot to mention I have 11 foot Hydrostream hustler I had a Yamaha 50 on that but I now use the motor on 16 ft pontoon The hydrostream is a mini tunnel hull

That Jet Mate sure has a...'commanding' driving position!

Cool video and sweet collection. I've have a 10' funjet in southcentral WI love the little boats.

That merc needs a tower of power... Would be a blast.

Great collection man!!! That’s every boaters dream pond!!! I was born and raised in Orlando and always wanted to find a mouse boat bc they were a blast as rentals!! I love the black speed boat!! And we had a jet mate on trade army dad’s dealership on

Nice you got the Disney mini boat

I see an Addictor 190...! I had 1 and had a ton of fun jumpin' that thing. I was even able to waterski behind it with 2 skii's and then drop 1 off and ride 1 ski. Had a Tohatsu 40hp.

Used to live on Lake Bomoseen in Vermont. The campground at the north end had a handful of these mini boats. As far as I know they’re still sitting up there in storage always wanted one.

Cool collection

Those are fun, cool video.

I want one now

Loved my jet mate. My dad loved it too. Would have been nicer with a 750cc engine. $4800 new with trailer in Indy in 1990. Miss it (and dad too!).

Kawasaki my favourite that is superb

Sweet collection but the Aqua lark (I have a 1973 model) was around before the addictor and from what I heard is the someone split from Aqua lark and essentially made a copy of the hull and changed the cap.

That's so cool

Almost positive my uncle had that picklefork back in the late 80’s. Same thing, took forever to get on a step, but was bright red. Now i need call uncle Steve to see what he remembers about it.

They're all super cool but that mouse boat design is pretty cool in my opinion. I used to go swimming near SeaRay's factory in Oxford MI as a kid and it looks like some of the small RC hulls they'd test on the flooded gravel pit lakes.

I love the mercub But would gladly buy any of them from you

I have a 12' Mini eliminator Pickle Fork tunnel hull with a 2.5 60hp Mercury 2 stroke converted to a custom short shaft lower unit that I just pulled out of the water last winter to repaint the hull. I have had it for 3 years; my father had it before me. It is gnarly out on big lakes. My father has ringed her out wide open which was sketchy. I still haven't had it over 40mph. It gets sketchy. I want to get a mini V-hull for the engine that would be much more manageable to drive around. Something that can sit 3 or 3 people. I have been looking at kits. I might DIY my own mini Catermaran with foam and fiberglass. I make my own Fiberglass and carbon fiber RC boats from scratch. Should not be hard to scale one up and build. The build process is almost the same. Foam mold stringers and fiberglass. One day. Thanks for the inspiration. I really do love the Addicter boat you have. It is awesome! They are all incredible!

I have an addictor 190 dlx. I bought it in collage. It was the original florida gators mascot boa. Still have it 35 years later… oh yea it has a 30hp evinrude.

I have the addictor, , my uncle has the skylark. And we would set up milk jugs and race . So much fun

Are you going to do a will it run on the barn find delorean?

1st boat looks like a Baja Scat cat. your missing a mini-hawk ! had one and put a 56ci 3 cyl OMC 70 on it. thing was an absolute rocket.

I'm jealous of your Disney boat. I want one so bad

I feel like the Theo Vaughn needs one of those jet boats

I had one of those cub’s with the same stickers on it a few years ago still kick myself for selling it see it pop up for sale here and there try to get it back every time but I miss is had number plate of 4

You might risk the engine in the Kawi by converting to premix. Main bearings might not get sufficient lubrication without the oil injection. I hope you have checked.

The light blue one is the same color as the old Fort Wilderness rentals from the 70s at Disney. Looks the same too.I think the Disney Sprites had black hulls though.

I had lark outboard model, with a merc early model with a 350 merc 2 stroke stroke raced in Sport C class in Calif years ago. trude the bottom and SS prop, i,d out the OMC,s but not the Tohhatus 30,s, did won two races., sold it with 30 hp chrysler on it.

Dear Nick,The YT Gods love you. Why else would your wonderful vid be suggested this morning to me? My only son was sot of named after you. We call him “Nick Danger”. Hell yes subscribed in seconds. My guess is that you are a neurosurgeon specializing in spinal deformities in painted turtles. Educational and entertaining. The highest calling. Thanks.

awesome x5

Hello from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video are mini boats similar to a sea flee as I have a sea flee with a 15hp outboard mercury fiberglass built thanks

How big of motor can you go before hull can't take? Would like to see the extreme. But cool non the less.

I crashed one of those mickey boats as a kid, that's right they let kids take them out alone!! Actually another kid hit me broadside, and when he did his bow rode right up onto the top of mine which turned it luckily but still left huge prop scars right down the side of the boat just above the throttle 😇

I had the 10 foot GW Invader. That was in the late 60s. Started with a 20 HP. Later got a 60 HP. 55 was legal but they didn’t make a 55 so I dot a sixty. It would do 70MPH. Later more stringent HP came in and that ended the making of the boat.

I just bought a SOS express 12' with a 50 Mariner on it. I was looking to get more speed out of it before I even took it out. Theses things don't need to go any faster.

Are you gonna make a video when you get the black one to a bigger lake? Got a feeling that one is gonna be moving right along once you get air in the tunnel. Might get a little too sketchy to hold a camera at the same time. 😂

The sound of that Kawasaki reminds me of snowmobiling.

incredible collection . Great video. Did Disney world use the aqua larks before the mouse boats? I remember as a kid in the 80s seeing mini boats on the lake that were not the mouse boats. Just curious. I would have to pick the merc cub Its too cool. But the jet mate is total 80s. Love it.

I have two aqua larks one has the same bottom hull as your green one mine is all white with a Yamaha 30 three cylinder two stroke 1989. I bought it direct South Holland Illinois factory owner ( who was a dentist) I then saw on line a fiberglass company was Selling the molds and fiberglass boat parts. I bought a new bottom half of a updated aqua lark with a deep cutting V hull And I payed them to spray up a top half from the mold and they has no tops left in parts. I have a 2018 Yamaha four stroke 25 hp The. 30 ho stays on Torch Lake Michigan and the 25 with the deep V stays in my garage Marengo Illinois

I have a 1987 Funjet dt60 2 stroke inboard. Needs paint. Comes with trailer.

A W E S O M E collection! Those look like a ton of fun.

I wanna collect them all!

Having that many miniature boats in not normal, dude.

Thoughts on the Exhilarator 109 boats thinking about picking one up!

Not bad. Any size Cutoff on the upper end? How rare do you want them to be before considering them?

Kawasaki one is also called the nut buster

The mouse boat I race in the South Africa 🇿🇦 national it had a 15hp outboard mercury on it

Sick. I love watching boats go three feet and turn around.

Mannn if you ever have some space that mercub could prolly handle a 50hp 2 stroke “170 ish lbs” also w the right prop can hop right up on plane and be a thriller 😅. Don’t know much about their transoms tho…..

Recently found an old Viking marine super dink on the facebook marketplace. Do you know anything about it? Would be a pretty cool project I imagine

I still have my 89 16 ft charger with a 91 150xr2 mercury racing engine. It’s got a mod vp lower end, stainless chopper high speed prop, custom gas tank, hot foot pedal drive so you can drive with two hand. It does does 87mph and is the loudest boat around. You can hear it from a ways out.

Mercub, Jetmate, Addictor, mouseboat, aqualark in that order

I just picked up a baja scat cat, how come you don't have one in the collection

Ha a funcat 13 looks similar to black #1 just has a merc 90 on it

Got a Bradley GT surfer currently 4 sale in mn. a complete restoration needed sadly.

I have an 84 cougar cub with a 30 horse tohatsu on it pretty fun boat n they're not pickle forks its a catamaran

Like the Pickle cat boat...

Nice collection! What's the blower for in the Kawasaki one?

I regret selling my cougar cub

I have a mini boat I was told there are 2 and mine is only working model.1998 Capri by catalina. Not sure the truth but it's like new

My addictor had a windshield but it was gone when I bought it in 1989 wow my rail is gone too.

The Cougar boat company from England and at that time Miami, made your Merc Cub. Have you heard of Steve Curtis? Greatest Throttle Man in Offshore boating. Not being a know it all just know some offshore knowledge. Cougar in England is still in business. I live in Florida now but am from Eagle River Wisconsin

where did you get the boats

when are you going to finally finish the deloreon restore videos ???

Where can I purchase the disney mini.

Your rental Lark, could have come from Lake Geneva, they had a ton of them there.

Now I don’t feel so bad about having 7 bicycles….

I only have one mini boat and it’s a Schiada and it’s for my kids

There's 4 cougar cubs available in the south florida get a different prop
