The Monolist: A Collection of Ridiculous Boats

The first boat to feature on our list is the 5200. This bizarre vessel makes absolutely no sense, as it literally does not drive on the road and should be called a lakester. The name "5200" might seem confusing, but it's actually a clever ruse - this boat has a whopping 5,400 horsepower! That's what you call a fake out. How is that possible? Well, it turns out that four engines are how, and the boat also comes equipped with a bathroom. Yes, you read that right - a bathroom on a boat. This $1.5 million toy can take you and nine of your friends up to 180 miles per hour while you're...ahem...taking care of business.

The head is what you call a bathroom on a boat, but why? I have absolutely no idea. I also have no idea why anyone would need a boat that requires anywhere close to that kind of power, but Nortech seems to think this is totally necessary. But before we get to our last ridiculous boat, let's remind ourselves that boats are useless without water - it's that simple. That's why we're joining up with practically all of your favorite YouTube creators for Team Seas to help clean up our oceans, beaches, and rivers.

Team Seas is working directly with nonprofits like Ocean Conservancy and The Ocean Cleanup, but we need your help to achieve the goal to remove 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean. That's a lot of trash - every dollar you donate to Team Seas will remove one pound of trash, which means even a donation of just $10 will remove a whopping 10 pounds of garbage from our planet's waterways. Get that garbage out of here! Ten pounds is like two large garbage bags full of trash, no longer in the ocean because of your donation.

The Argentine hake, the Norway pout, the Pacific sand lance, and the Longhorn clownfish are just a few of the many fish species that call our oceans home. So, thank you for doing your part to make waters cleaner places - now back to the boats.

How can anything possibly top a four-engine, 5,000 horsepower porta-potty? I'll be honest, this last boat doesn't have a bathroom, so points off. It doesn't have room for 10 of your friends, and it probably doesn't even have a poop deck - but what it does have is a 500 cubic inch supercharged nitromethane fuel V8 that puts out an astonishing 10,000 horsepower! That's a fast boat, nice.

When these things take off, they can hit over 250 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds. The engine needs a full rebuild after every single run, just like a Top Fuel dragster. At this point, it's easy to wonder if this thing is even a boat anymore - is it an airplane that goes close to water? I mean, it's essentially a low-flying fighter jet, but I can assure you it's just as buoyant as all the other vessels we talked about today.

And now, for something completely different. The Monolist is excited to introduce our brand new, Mo Powa redesigned T-shirt - so new in fact that I don't even have one yet! But thanks to movie magic, I do! Go to donate.media.com to get yourself one, and sign up for our mailing list - we're dropping a new item every week. I love you, guys. We don't do a lot of floaty stuff around here, so I hope you enjoyed watching this. Again, boats are just cars for the water, and we can't enjoy water sports if we don't respect the seas.

Follow us on Instagram - I have to say it, contractually obligated. Follow me @jamespumphrey... again, contractually obligated. I love you.

though?- Well, I gotta play that game,so first stop, the phone store.- Okay, I'll get you there in a jiffy.(bright music)- Listen, people havebeen making fast boatsfor a very long time.Ever heard of Vikings, Rome?They were fast.This isn't a definitive listof the fastest boats ever,we made this video to show youhow absurd boats have become.So, to kick this pool party off,we're gonna start with oneof the raddest things ever,fricking jet boat.Back in the 1960s,during the hot rod days,the same philosophy was applied to boats,all right, you take...(fly buzzing)(James claps)- You got it.- Yeah.You take the biggest, fattestAmerican V8 that you can findand you cram it into ateensy, tiny little boat!That's called a power to weight hack.The '60s died but people arestill building sick jet boats.For example, this LSswapped one that was builtby a couple of fellow YouTubers,shouts to Dirt Cinema,sup, dudes.They pulled a 5.3 liter LS from a junkyardand slapped some absolutelyinsane eight to one headerson it.Listen to this thing.(boat engine roars)Listen to it!(boat engine roars)How many sea hrsprs does it make?A pretty respectable 350.(fart sounds)(boat engine roars)- She's got some pepper.- She's got some pepperand that's the slowest boat on this list.We see you Dirt Cinema, not abad way to kick off the list,but let me assure you,this ain't the last jetboat you're gonna seeon this Monolist becauseMonolist told me it wanted moreand I have no choice but to comply.All right, for our next stopor should I say next dock?The rivers of Southeast Asia,talking about Thai river boats.If you guys haven't seen these,they're one of the raddest thing,pretty much the reason we made this video.They're long tail boatswith turboed car enginesmounted on the back, youknow, totally normal stuff!And when I say mounted on the back,I mean the engineliterally sits on a stickon the back of the boatwith the propeller mountedto the drive shaft.Drive doesn't have a seatbelt or shoes.The people that build these usepretty much whatever enginesthey can, here's one witha Twin Cam 4A-GE on ITBs.Sick.And here's one currentlybeing built by CB Mediawith a Turbo 13B from an RX-7,that's supposed to make500 seahorsepowers!But maybe you're thinkingto yourself, James,a turbocharged floating pieceof wood really isn't my vibe.I'm not about that jacket rose life.Maybe your tastes are a little higher endand you'd rather drop $12 millionon this V12 Ferrari hydroplane boat.Now I'm not talking aboutsome ocean drifter dudewho pulled a Ryan Tuerckand put a Ferrari enginein his dinghy, I'm talking about the onlyofficially sanctioned Ferrari boat ever.The Arno XI or is it Arno XL?- X, oh yeah, it's XI, so I guess-(James breathes heavily)- X, I don't know, we didn't Google it.Back in the '50s, a dudenamed Achille Castoldiwanted to break thewatercraft speed record,so he commissioned thisbeautiful piece of art,a mahogany hydroplane.The hydroplane uses waterfor lift instead of buoyancy,so it barely even touches thewater when it's going fast.That's called friction baby.Now when my best friendand mentor, Enzo Ferrari,heard this dude wanted tomake a Ferrari-powered boat,he sent him the same V12that won Ferrari's first Grand Prix.Nowadays they just sueDeadmau5 and charities.A couple of superchargers laterand this historical V12 waspushing 600 sopping wet horses.It managed to go 150 milesper hour in the 1950s.That's insane!You know, if you like it,it's for sale right now.So, if you got 12 millionbones lying around,hit up a duPont Registry.Okay, okay.Let's say that a one-off Ferrari boatis a little more than you can afford, pal.I get it, some people are poor.Maybe V12s aren't your thing.Well, pop the hood on this next boatand you'll find a 2JZ GTE.This 25-foot eliminator boatwas swapped by a companycalled PSI Racing,so you know that it's got some boostbecause PSI stands for boost.How much boost?Well, enough boost to give it1,000 dripping wet horsepowers.PSI Racing says that it'sthe fastest to 2J swappedeliminator boat in the worldand I dare you to try and topthat very specific record.Now that's a boat that youcan take your friends on,all right, and if 1,000horsepowered 2JZ boatthat seats five people issomehow too practical for you,then how about 1,000horsepower RB26 swapped boatthat only seats two people!That's right, this isbasically a GTR boat.It's got a fully built RB26/30with forged guts and abig beefy boy single turbothat spits out 1,000 seahorses on E85!Why would somebody needsomething like this?I don't know, but the guy thatbuilt it tows it to the lakewith his R32 and that isa flex with a capital X.Although I am gonna take off swag pointsbecause he didn't paint it the same color.What are you thinking?We're now in the realmof four digit horsepower.How much more unnecessary can boats get?A lot.Remember them hot dogged upjet boats I was talking aboutin the beginning of this video?One of the most famous ones on YouTubebelongs to another carguy you might've heard of,a certain Michael Finnegan.It's called Game Over andhas an 11.6 liter Hemiwith two turbos on it.That massive engine is mountedlike an inch behind whereyou're supposed to sit.This is my favorite one on the list.(car engine roars)- I'm super excited to-- I don't strength is a gift.(man laughs)It's not.(boat engine roars)(loud crash)- He was wearing a helmeton water.Finnegan has a whole serieson this boat on his channelif you really wanna nerd out.Let's talk about how much powerthis 1,600 pound twinturbo jet boat makes.On a conservative tune, itmakes around 1,600 hrsprs,but Finnegan said, he'd becomfortable running 2,000!Who's comfortable with 2,000 horsepower?Nobody!Nobody in the boat,nobody around the boat!There's nothing comfortable about it!But what if somehow you arelike a weird, weird, weirderand you want even more power than thatand you also wanna be ableto drive through swamps.If you've ever been toFlorida or Louisiana,I've been to both,you've probably heard ofthese things called airboats.They're one of the coolest things ever.Basically airboats aresideways helicoptersand unlike Nolan, theyhave very flat bottoms.But, as with most things in Florida,people tend to go a littleoverboard with these things.I mean, installing bigfat old fatty engineswith absolutely no business being attachedto a fricking fan.This one in particular is called 2Insane.One word with a two in it.It has a Twin Turbo Chevy big blockthat makes it completelyreasonable, just totally normal.(fart sounds)(bouncy music)(sellotape squeaks)(bouncy music)2,500 horsepower!Like on like some like frickingjet boat, I totally get it.All right, but have youever been on an airboat?They don't have breaks,they're basically a fricking garage doorwith a helicopter motor on the backand this one has 2,500 horsepowerand you drive it in a placewith frigging alligators in it!You ever seen an alligator?They're scary as heck!Pretty much one of thescariest dinosaurs left.I think all the dinosaurs are scary.You ever seen an emo?Comment down below if youwant me to make a videocalled birds need to chill out.(man laughs)(James chuckles)But if you thought thatthis list was gonna endat 2,500 horsepower, you are wrong.You are dead wrong!That's amateur level stuffcompared to what's coming next.Because next up we havethe Nortech 5200 Roadster,which makes absolutely no sensebecause it literally doesnot drive on the road.It should be called a lakester.(sighs) You're probablywondering why they call itthe 5200.You're saying to yourself, there's no wayit has 5,200 horsepower, right?Yes, you are right.That would be ridiculousbecause it actually has 5,400 horsepower!That's what you call a fake out.How?Four engines is how,also it has a bathroom.So you don't have to piss your pants.This $1.5 million toy can takeyou and nine of your friendsup to 180 miles per hourwhile your homeys are poopingin the head.The head is what you calla bathroom on a boat.Why?I have absolutely no idea.I also have no idea why you'dneed anywhere close to thatkinda power but Nortech seems to thinkthis is totally necessary.But again, we are stillnot done with this list.Before we get to our last ridiculous boat,I wanna remind you guysthat boats are uselesswithout water and that'swhy we're joining upwith practically all of yourfavorite YouTube creatorsfor Team Seas to help clean up our oceans,beaches and rivers.- Team Seas is workingdirectly with nonprofitslike Ocean Conservancyand The Ocean Cleanup,but we need your help to achieve

your donation.That's a lot, Nolan can'teven lift 10 pounds,he's got weak bones.- Exactly.- So visit teamseas.orgto donate, learn more and helpTeam Seas reach their goalof $30 million to remove30

And the Longhorn clownfish.- So, thank you for doing your partto make waters a cleaner placeand now back to the boats.Thanks guys, so how aboutthe last boat on this list?How can anything possiblytop a four-engine,5,000 horsepower porta-potty?I'll be honest, this lastboat doesn't have a bathroom,so points off.It doesn't have room for 10of your friends, points off.I don't even think it has a poop deckbut what it does have is a 500 cubic inchsupercharged nitromethanefuel V8 that puts out(bouncy music)10,000 sea hrsprs!(dramatic upbeat music)That's a fast boat, nice.(man laughs)(indistinct)10,000 horsepower.What is this thing you might be asking?Well, it's a Top Fuelhydroplane drag boat.It's kinda like a Top Fuel drag car,except somehow way more dangerousbecause unlike a drag strip,water is unpredictable.I don't know if you've ever seen avatar.When these things take off,they can hit over 250 milesper hour in 3.5 seconds.The engine needs a fullrebuild after every single run,just like a Top Fuel dragster.At this point, it's easyto wonder if this thingis even a boat anymore.Is it an airplane thatgoes close to water?I mean, it's essentiallya low flying fighter jet,but I can assure you it's just as buoyantas all the other vesselsthat we talked about todayand therefore it's the mostpowerful boat on the Monolist.I'm super excited tointroduce the brand new,Mo Powa redesigned T-shirt.So new in fact that Idon't even have one yetbut thanks to movie magic,I do?- Whoa, is that the newDonut Mo Powa shirt?- Yes.Go to donatemedia.com to get yourself one.I'm
