My Neighbors Think I'm Crazy: The Ultimate Jet Ski Dolly DIY Build and Road Test

What happens when a crazy idea, a pile of lumber, and a 1,000lb jet ski meet in the middle of the street? You're about to find out.

I didn't just need another jet ski dolly, I needed the ULTIMATE jet ski dolly. In this video, I'm building version 2.0 from the ground up—stronger, smarter, and ready for anything. I'll take you through the entire DIY process, from the first cut to the final bolt.

But a project this epic deserves an equally epic test.

So, I did the one thing you're never supposed to do. I put my Sea-Doo on it and pushed it down the public road for the ultimate stress test. Did the wheels buckle? Did the frame snap? Did the neighbors call the cops?!

You have to see this to believe it. If you love DIY projects that are a little bit insane, this video is for you.

In this detailed DIY tutorial, you'll learn:

The Right Materials: Discover why treated lumber is essential for durability and exactly what dimensions of wood you'll need, including specific cuts for the dolly's corners [00:34].

Essential Hardware: Get a complete breakdown of all bolts, nuts, washers, screws, and rust-proof staples for a secure build [01:04].

Critical Tools: See the specific power tools and hand tools required to make your build efficient and precise [01:48].

Precision Cutting & Assembly: Follow step-by-step instructions for making accurate angled cuts [02:27] and securely assembling the frame with through-bolts [10:55] and heavy-duty deck screws.

Wheel Installation: Learn how to attach robust 6-inch caster wheels for smooth movement [21:48].

Bunk Customization: Understand how to precisely angle your bunks for a perfect fit for your PWC [06:51] and securely attach marine-grade carpet to protect your jet ski's hull [22:19].

Real-World Testing: Watch the "Curb Test" [34:15] to see how the dolly handles obstacles and the "Road Test" [34:53] to demonstrate its easy transport capabilities, even for one person!
