Two brothers from Tennessee bought electric jet boats off Temu and were absolutely shocked by what arrived in the mail.
You can buy just about anything from e-tailers like Temu, from weird tech to a fake Bugatti.
Over in Tennessee, brothers Simeon and Eleazar from the Goonzquad YouTube channel treated themselves to three Temu jet boats.
After a bit of a wait, the jet boats arrived, and the men wasted no time getting them out on the water to put them to the test.

The jet boats took a while to arrive, but was it worth the wait?
Simeon and Eleazar are best known for fixing wrecked cars, like this 2024 Lamborghini Tecnica and this $1.3 million McLaren Senna.
But in a recent video, they went for an interesting change of pace by splashing out on three Temu mini electric jet boats.
The guys had to wait a whole six months to get their hands on the jet boats, so they were excited to finally take a closer look at them.
They prised open the crate, and it’s safe to say that all-important first impression was strong.
“That looks sick,” Simeon said.
“You got a boat seat in there. Dang. Look at that steering wheel right there. Dang. That’s actually sick.”
The mini boats were powered by a battery, and Simeon chose the most powerful option, hoping that it might get the jet boats up to 30mph on the water.
The jet boats’ diminutive size meant that getting into them was a bit of a tight squeeze, but they managed it and were even able to turn the engine on on dry land.
With the boats freed from their crates, the men decided to take them out onto the water to see what they were capable of.
“Let’s see if they float,” Simeon said.
That’s a pretty essential requirement, really, isn’t it?

Although they were from Temu they weren’t super cheap
Before heading out onto the water, they invited brother David along to test the third Temu jet boat.
And we have to be honest, it looked like a whole lot of fun.
Although they were only small, the trio of electric jet boats bounced and blasted about on the water and managed to hit some impressive speeds.
“Dude, these things are actually fast – was it worth it for the price?” the YouTuber asked before revealing they had spent more than $10,000 on the mini jet boats.
However, as Eleazar pointed out, that also included shipping and some pretty high tariff charges.
And it seemed as though the guys thought they were most definitely worth the price.
“Dude, this is the best,” Eleazar said.
“Like, you cannot go out here and have this much fun on a kayak.”
Good point, well made
