Ep 3. How to Build a Search & Rescue Jet Boat

In season 2, episode 3 of Last Stop Garage entitled 'How to Build a Search & Rescue Jet Boat,' the team at CRB Auto embarks on its latest ambitious project, the construction of a cutting-edge search and rescue jet boat designed to navigate the treacherous waters of Northern Canada.

Led by savvy mechanic, Collin Baikie, the team faces a unique challenge in building the boat as it must be strong and maneuverable enough to navigate choppy waters, yet light enough to be airlifted to remote locations in case of emergency.

To begin the project, the team gathers materials, including aluminum tubing, and sets out to create a custom frame for the boat. They also install a specialized engine and propeller designed to achieve maximum speed and maneuverability on water.

As they progress in constructing the boat, the team faces several setbacks that present significant obstacles. The first major challenge is the installation of an outboard jet motor, which requires the modification of the boat's frame to ensure that its weight is evenly distributed. After some setbacks and challenges, the team is successful, allowing them to continue with the project.

Next, the team tackles the challenge of designing a specialized seating and harness system to keep rescue personnel securely in place during rescue missions. The challenge is not only to provide comfortable seating, but also to ensure that the seats and harnesses can withstand harsh conditions and prevent injury during sudden stops or accidents.

Throughout the episode, the team works tirelessly to ensure that the boat is built to the highest standards of safety and performance. As the project nears completion, the team must pass a series of rigorous tests to ensure that the boat is ready for deployment in emergency situations.

With its specialized engine, lightweight frame, and cutting-edge design, the search and rescue jet boat is the perfect addition to CRB Auto's fleet of versatile vehicles. The team's hard work and dedication are rewarded as they launch the boat for a test run, navigating treacherous rapids and proving that the boat is capable of handling even the most challenging rescue missions.

Overall, 'How to Build a Search & Rescue Jet Boat' is an intriguing and engaging episode of Last Stop Garage, showcasing the team's expertise, ingenuity, and determination as they tackle this demanding project.
