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.
