01x08 - Pontoon Boat

[bunniefuu]

It's almost like a little bit scary how

familiar the inside of the school bus is.

The mirror, you know, that's

where you got busted last week.

I actually got kicked off

the bus in the sixth grade.

I was throwing the other kids' books out

the window while we

were doing that street.

And they got mad at me for that.

And then after that they went

and let me on the bus anymore.

Hold those tears for a little jesse because

they jesse is not only back on the bus.

You'll brat's knee right?

Get on.

He's driving it.

Around the bend.

When it expunts the

garage, tell it to him.

Join us now.

His Jesse and his g*ng of Maverick

mechanics ripped, grind and burned.

Transforming ordinary street

vehicles into monster machines.

In the monster garage.

This week's challenge,

take a 20 passenger school

bus and turn it into

the ultimate party boat.

The rules.

When built, the machine

must appear to look stock.

The team can spend no more

than $3,000 for parts.

Jesse and his crew have

seven days and nights.

On the first day, they design.

For the next five, they build.

On the seventh day, they race.

If successful, each team member

takes home a $3,400 set of McTools.

And the clock starts now.

Jesse hot puts the bus into the garage.

Looks like it's head enough at the

pedal to the metal master's schooling.

Before they start the design,

Jesse sizes up his team.

How much boat experience do you have?

I have one.

I have absolutely none.

You.

13 years.

You?

I designed those boats.

I had a boat.

First of all, we got to

figure out the vitals.

We got to make it flow and we got to

make it propellant self in the water.

To turn a bus into a pontoon

boat, it's going to need pontoon.

My idea was kind of like a tackle box.

We just split it right

here and have these.

You know, rotate down and these

will be the pontoons on the side.

These are going to be actual size.

Patoons are going to cover

the whole side of that.

Literally full size.

Three foot by way more

than three foot square.

Those are going to be huge.

That's like taken six, 55

gallon drums on each side.

And they're full out of the inside.

I don't want it to sink.

That's our goal there.

The son of a bus mechanic Charlie's

got buses running through his blood.

I grew up in buses.

It was an easy trade to go into.

And I think it was born with a mechanical

knowledge already and mechanical ability.

Team artist Rob King, not only

draws boats, he designed them.

Unlike Charlie, he's not

sweating the floating.

I've been making things

float for quite a long time.

And I've been doing

it quite successfully.

Displacing water within a

weight is quite easy to do.

It's a floater onto the motor.

I really think driving a backwards

is going to be our best bet.

Because you never see a boat

with a motor in the front.

John West is to boats what

Jesse James is to motorcycles.

His San Diego-based company,

Ultra Boats, makes some of the

baddest speed boats on the water.

I think anybody that does anything

like this with the hot rods or the

motorcycles or even the custom boats.

It's more of an art than anything else.

It's a craft.

If the school boat is driven from the

back, then the propeller must go under

the front of the school bus.

The drive shaft is coming

out here to the third member.

We'll just make a sprocket on

here with a chain with some

supports off the frame with

another sprocket with a jack shaft.

Driving the prop.

The plan seems tight.

It should be smooth sailing.

But Jesse's acting weird.

It must be the water.

His first car boat almost

became a submarine.

Jesse James put this speed up.

He thinks he is going

down and down and down.

Swamp.

It's going to burn out the electronics.

They're not waterproof.

He's got a plan to make absolutely sure.

The engine stays dry this time.

If we make something like a fake

bumper or something like that,

it's big.

I mean it's like two foot by two foot.

It's by the width of the bus.

And then fill it with foam.

It's still enough to keep the

water and all the electronics.

I think it'll definitely work.

It's just figuring out

if we got enough time.

Because the labor part of

it is not really difficult.

It's just a big, massive

amount of welding, fabricating.

The hard part is done.

All it's left is just to make it.

The design wraps.

It works on paper.

The garage comes next.

Here's the flag.

The team will transform

the upper frame of

the school bus into two massive pontones.

Heavy duty hinges on each side will

allow the bus to turn itself inside out.

It's a bus.

No.

It's a boat.

Monsters aren't born.

They're built.

Meet the builders.

They're ensuring Los Angeles, California.

Keep design and generic metal crafters.

The furnish, Long Beach, California.

Custom car fabricator and

owner of Wolf's Customs.

Jim Day, Inglewood, California.

Metal sculptor and welder extraordinaire.

John West, San Diego, California.

Owner of Ultra Boats.

Charlie Con Jr.

Riverside, California.

Mechanic.

It is ebus sales, horrible dancer.

Captain Jesse, think A-hab with tattoos.

Introduces the team

to their yellow whale.

Hi, guys.

Probably get the gist of

this just from the picture.

We're going to try to take this school

bus and make it into a pontoon boat.

So we're not going to try.

We're going to do it.

So what do you think?

Yeah, your day on engine these sides.

Oh, yeah.

That's just, yeah.

I mean, no, I don't want to

think we should do that first.

And then if you ever skate off,

I'm sure I think we should do it.

Everyone agrees.

Got the bus.

Crack it open and build the

pontoons off its mangled carcass.

The seats are the first to go.

I'm used to putting

this stuff in the bus.

Not taking it out.

I'm used to it.

About 25,000 students

have ridden this bus

that equates to nearly 9

,000 nookies, 800 wedges

and at least one broken heart.

Totally, I don't like it's a fiberglass.

It's on your skin, make it.

You breathe in and start coughing.

It's not fun.

Steve Furnish is the

owner of Wolf's Customs.

His specialty, fabricating

unique vehicles,

like turbine powered motorcycles,

and custom engines, like in this 1999,

Camaro Z38, it's been clocked,

but not ticketed at speeds

well over 200 miles per hour.

Steve's motto, build it

right the first time.

Well, I've seen Jesse run these things.

You know, we'd better strong

than not strong enough.

The only hardest part is not to catch.

Charlie, the bus builder,

is getting in touch with

his inner destroyer.

Down, boy.

There we are.

Before they operate, the garage surgeons

carefully plan their cuts.

There will be three.

Down the length of one side.

Midpoint across the top.

And a final incision

along the other side.

The cut lines need to be reinforced

with two inch by two

inch rolled steel tubing.

So essentially we're

talking about discussing

where the hinge lines

should be for the pontoons.

And we really want to

have the hinge lines

as low as possible.

The base of the window is clean the top.

Right here.

Yeah, nice and lower.

Jim wants to hinge the side

at the halfway point

from the top of the bus

to the bottom of the wheels.

This will allow the bus to

float as high as possible

in the water.

Jesse wants the hinge

point of foot higher

at the base of the windows.

So we get water above the floor.

That's what I'm worried about

when we actually float it.

These pontoons are like

four times the size

of regular pontoons.

Jesse wants to make sure

there is ample clearance

to drive the bus even when

the pontoons are down.

He's made up his mind.

Do it right here.

This is already cut.

Nice.

Center.

We don't have to do nothing.

We can do our hinges

everything, right here.

Before they can cut the bus,

they must reinforce the

frame with steel tubing.

Jim begins the arduous task of welding

the square supports inside the bus.

The supports will run

above and below the hinge

and hold it in place.

John cuts more steel while

Jim and Darren discuss

the hinge mechanism.

We're discussing the hinge point.

That'll make us think hinge.

It looks like what we're going to do

is we can huge piano hinge.

We've seen the rod going through it

and then I basically

embark cut every 12 inches.

So one gets welded to the top

when it's welded to the bottom.

Jim Day is a metal sculptor

whose creations run from installations

at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum

to this 15-foot skiff.

I'm not like an artist.

I'm a metal worker who makes art.

It makes a lot of other things as well.

Now it's not a flashy sports car.

Like built up the back

and I built this extension

and it adds more delay.

You know, the idea came with one outboard

and I found another one

and I built all my own linkages

and the same kind of exact process.

Building the piano hinge from scratch

will take time.

Plus, none of the interior

shell has been built.

John's still confident

they'll crack the bus open

before calling it a day.

We still want to have

this lift open today.

Steve Waste's no time

cutting the circular tubing

into 12-inch sections,

which will form the pivots of the hinge.

The H part of the tube, the one and two

is going to be on the outside.

On all the way down the length

of where the pontons are going to be.

It's going to be welded

on the outside here.

So then, as this holds down,

that'll turn like a hinge.

Darren finishes the supports

while John puts the finishing

touches on the hinge

with his crescent file.

The cut lines along the top of the bus

will need a lot of reinforcement.

The strategy is then to go ahead

and get this one side finished.

Get it all welded out

with all the structure for the pontoon

and then roll it down out of the way

do the other side

and then we can do some swelling.

Because if we take this one

side and we pull up the hinge,

everything's going to

change the geometry.

We try to put it back together

so that we can do the same.

John below, Jesse and John dive

into the propulsion system.

So we need to work on

fine and some kind of

a change rocket set up.

I can use two front crannies rocket

like on a Harley was the 630 drive train.

The bus is just about

ready for its grand opening

but after nine hours of hard work,

Jesse wants to call it a day.

I think we're all right.

I think we kicked a*s.

I mean, it doesn't gladly go longer.

It's good weather.

And I'll see any reason

to k*ll ourselves.

I mean, I'd rather face

ourselves with good progress.

It's only day two.

Jesse knows there'll

be plenty of overtime

before this monster is done.

Monster garage factoid.

Over the last century,

school buses have taken an estimated 500

billion students for a ride.

The team gets back on the bus.

Jesse shows up on a highway patrol

by keep out off the Fort

Lauderdale police department

to flames for his idea.

I think I was definitely right,

which those guys thought

they would have this thing

opened up in an hour.

Last night, to me,

I'm right 100% of the time,

but proven fact,

I'm right only about 60% of the time.

Just slightly in my favor.

The rest of it is calculated against him.

The biggest you now is that we know

that the body is only

mounted to the frame

in a couple of body mount points.

And we want to make sure

we have enough structure

to support the way to this

vehicle when it's floating.

Darren Shurich has built

an impressive career

on his love for cars.

If the police are down here,

you're going to have

that angle in your cable.

A graduate from UC Berkeley

with a BS in engineering physics.

His resume includes being manager

of the engineering

department at metal crafters,

where he developed concept cars

and prototypes like

this Chrysler-Proiler.

The very original

vehicle was manufactured

by metal crafters,

the very first prowler.

And from that running prototype

they went into production to manufacture

all the success of prowlers.

This is actually a production

model of the prowler

that was,

it's about two years old at this point.

But on this model,

we've added a lot of the metal crafters,

accessories, the hard top, the wing,

running boards, grill,

this fender opening in the side.

These are all components

that we developed.

With boats back on their minds,

Shurich tells us over

it's time to get back to work.

For sure,

we want to have the structure

for the pontoon's on one side ready

to be able to swing before lunch today.

We're going to have it all nailed down,

and we open it.

We're going to work the first time.

If all it took was confidence,

the bus would already be floating.

So the whole front end here,

we've actually reinforced and supported

so that we can split it and cut it away.

And this front cap is going to go

with the pontoon on each side

to provide more floatation

for the front end of the bus.

The entire side of the bus

must be fully sealed

before the team can safely swing it down.

Our side door,

which it's a being a problem.

Not necessarily a problem well enough,

it's just a problem

different structures in the other side.

We're getting ready to

yank the fuel tank out.

Mark's ground fuel

tanks that doesn't mix.

As the crew forges ahead,

Jesse works on what he thinks

is the front of the boat.

I'm not sure if it's starboard

or a raft

that is

I don't know how the crank turns

because that makes me a bad person.

Finally,

with the internal structure complete,

Steve begins cutting a wattage gap

along the side of the bus,

just big enough for the piano hinge.

Looks like hinge is perfect.

Go for it.

Having completed the one-inch gap,

Steve cuts out the

remaining original supports

to make room for the hinge.

John and Steve fit the

hinge onto the one-inch gap,

then Darren and Jim welded into place.

With the top supports in place,

Steve is ready to make the first cuts

along the spine of the bus.

Good to go now.

Got some power.

While Charlie tackles the outer incision,

look at that incredible straight line.

You don't get that no way.

The team is finally ready to fall down

the side of the school bus.

the side of the school bus.

It's the moment, too.

Let's go.

Come on, quick.

Everything coming out,

no problem.

We're standing in the window.

That way, if it comes down,

I'll be standing.

OK, I can't tell if it's sticking

to you guys are just pushing it off.

You got it.

We don't have any way now.

That's good.

That much work you got.

It's not bad.

Just lay on the ground.

Charlie's still a little bit.

It won't smash if it hits.

Charlie, you got it.

I just stood up from under there.

You got it.

It's all you, right?

I got it down here.

Got it.

He's OK.

He's OK.

He's OK.

Hi.

Hi, buddy.

It's still too early for

Jesse to be celebrating.

I think you're folded down pretty cool.

Like, you know, you know,

I don't know clearance

problems or anything like that.

It was planned out.

I think if they would try to rush

it last night and open it up,

it would, wouldn't tell

itself together like it did.

But I think there's still

a ton of labor to be done.

Probably just as much

as they've already done,

still you have to do

on just the pontoons,

just the box of men,

and then skin on and all that stuff.

So.

We're going to build grass.

We'll be back.

We'll be back.

You're going to go.

Teamwork in everything, people.

They can have just a little,

a little bakery or so.

I'm just going to keep working.

I'll celebrate it in

when I'm passing out some tools.

We do have a lot of work to do,

but it was still a major

accomplishment to get this,

to make sure that it worked.

Everything ended up where we

thought it was going to be,

in terms of the height of the pontoon,

the way it was going to swing,

the hinge worked great.

It worked really good, actually.

Garage victories can be short-lived. Jesse

wasn't there when the team made the side

cuts and they didn't follow his orders.

Rothwater's ahead. Hey,

what do you think the

ground clearance is

going to be that since we

lowered this down? I

don't know, it depends

on your tires. The tires are too much

smaller than those so it can be too much as

less than what you're seeing here.

And this is on Jack's stance.

Ooh, drop it in down right now because I

think it's going to

move because it's going

to be dragging on the ground. Jesse

thinks the hinges are too low and that the

pontoons will bottom out on the ramp when

they try to launch the

bus. Jesse wants us to

drop the thing off the jack so we can

check this out. Rather than work on the

hands, you can do it up

and down. I wouldn't go

any farther because we

might need to raise the

hinge up. I don't know,

Jesse because we're

working. Jim's a real

smart guy. Jesse hates

smart guys. Jesse checks out the clearance.

But Jim and John are reluctant to make

any changes. We're not the reason to pump

things up. It's easy.

It will change the whole

concept after the truck

and lift it and put

some big rims and tires

on it before we end up.

Yeah, tires can be

changed. This is Bill. But

you either do it the

way you want to do it

or do it the way it

works. You know, because

we should have cut it right where I said

cut it. This little

thing's going to be lowered

with custom wheels and that's we figured

in with the two inches.

That's where it would

came. It's not really

about whether the hinges

should be moved up or

down six inches. It's

about not challenging the

alpha male when you're

on his turf. You know, I take a person.

This is my job. I'm

trying, I'm defending my

work with these guys. Well, in case you

didn't notice, this is

my crew. You know, and

what I say goes here.

So, you know, next time

you make a bunch of

changes and stuff to the

design, check with me

first because I might know

what I'm talking about.

So, now we're starting

to run out of time. Just

work with what we got

because I don't think we

have enough time to go

backwards now. I just

freak out a little bit. I

don't like change one car

that failed and I don't

like it.

Order has been re-established in

the pack. The big dog is happy.

There. Be in.

Monster Raj back to back to

back to back to back to back to

back to back to back to back

to back to back to back to back

to back there. There are

currently 27 rock and roll songs

about buses. There are

none about pontoon boats.

Day four, the team is

looking at a bus load of

work to do. The lesson

from last night's blow up

include the master in every

decision you make. John and

Darren consult Jesse on a locking

mechanism for the pontoons.

The hinge works great, but

it's only half the job.

When they're done filling this thing with

foam, it will be too

heavy to lift by hand.

They need some sort of

mechanical system to lift and

lower the pontoons. Jim Day

thinks he has the solution.

An elaborate winch system

that will use pulleys

and cables to raise

and lower the pontoons.

A pair of four inch by four

inch steel posts at the center

line of the bus will be used

to anchor the pulley system.

Jim's design is complicated and

convoluted, but to him it's arcs.

I think that winch things sucks. The rest

of the team try a more tactful approach.

We're just wondering,

we're just wondering about

the two people's systems

because when one's

a little bit more simple,

you got a bar cross over

the pulley system and it

just pulls it up and now.

But Jim holds firm. He still

thinks his plan will work.

I think it's going to work.

Is it going to work tonight?

Well, it will if I can

get it done, if we talk

about it all day and I

don't get anything done.

If you get it done and

it doesn't work, you're

going to work all night

long to fix it to change it.

You're going to figure it out, do

it. We're going to get one on this.

I got faith in you, Jim. You guys all

look at this Monday when I drew it up, so

it's a work. We're just going to

take you out back and kick your a*s.

We're going to leave it totally on hand,

but if not, he's getting

it. He said, okay.

With Jesse's words ringing in his ears,

Jim gets back to work and his winch system.

The rest of the team works

to complete the pontoons.

The pontoons frame is

skinned with 20 gauge steel.

At the monster garage,

hard work does not go

unrewarded. Jesse

arrives with a surprise.

Oh, that's so sweet. Come on,

sing happy birthday to Charlie.

Did you make a wish? Yeah, I'm

sure you guys know what to wish.

Charlie's wish of a

floating school bus is

a far way off. As day

four comes to a close,

there is no propulsion or rudder,

no pulley system. And the pontoons,

it looks like this school bus is turning

into a yellow submarine.

Time is running out.

Tomorrow will be a

critical day. But for Jim,

tomorrow is a long time

away. He prepares for a

long run. And you are

missing the real ways

of being. And you are the dead, the dead,

the lift, and forever.

And it's not me. We'll

welcome you to the mind

of how to protect it.

As day five dawns, a weary Jim has spent

all night getting his

winch system to work.

I already got the new

word. Like without asking,

Steve puts Jim's winch

system to the test,

and the sparks start flying.

Look at it. You can see

the pole of the fletting

man. They're like bent

over about an inch.

It's like I said that about six

times. Why aren't you forced

with these up? I thought you were

going to do that this morning.

Don't you even talk about it? What are you

nuts? Look at the pole of the fletting.

I said they had to have loads on

each side. I mean, this is nuts.

You know, what do you want to

get, you know, I spent all week

making this thing. You guys wanted

to store it in a couple of hours?

Hey, you need to do the right stuff.

Back now.

Choose a med. I cannot believe it. I

already got the thing to work. It's like,

I don't need to be proved

wrong. You destroy it

now. None of us are going

to get this thing done.

Everybody agreed on my system, and

because he doesn't like my system,

he's been completely, you know, trying to

like screw me for several

days because of it.

It, it, it, it, it.

He fails. We all fail.

Is that simple? You

know, he's overreacting.

He needs to drill a little

more team up for their,

the him it is. Well,

that's $100. Man overboard.

While Jim cools off,

his teammates do their

best to repair the damage

to his winch system.

A short while later, Jim returns.

Mr. Loner is back on the team.

Well, we're together.

We're trying to get this

thing to work. And I apologize

for getting so angry.

Reunited the men labor towards getting

the winch system working again.

You think, Jim? Well, we're

having some weight issues,

because the hinge front

is now the cable so high,

that it's really workin'

to try and pull it. I

think we should start

thinking about a plan B,

because we keep patching

this up and patching this

up and chasing our tail

and trying to chase the

weak points, ringing up,

replacing the whole thing

anyway. It's bent a little,

I could bend it back,

put in the bracing and I'll

make it stronger. And then I'll

look it up and down for you.

You can take a look at it.

We'll explore some other options, but

I think I can get this one to work.

Guys. Jim goes back to the drawing board,

desperate to make his winch system work.

His bus mates press

on and finish applying

this steel sighting

to the pontoon frames.

Jesse zeros in on his

location bumper. His

insurance plan to keep

the engine high and dry.

Jesse adds a nice detail,

using a bead roller,

and makes it kind of

look like we gave it down

about what we were doing.

Charlie starts building

prowins for the pontoons,

but he discovers another

use for the square

to begin. Jim thinks

he's found the cure for

his winches, thicker

cable, and more robust

pulley wheels.

One way or another, this

thing's going on the

water and it's floating

and it's running tomorrow.

Right. It was dragging

about an hour ago when I'm

starting to get my second

winch, so get a little

food in my belly, and kick

in. It's night couldn't

end up being an all

-nighter, you never know.

Tough words to end an even tougher day.

Day six breaks over

the garage like a rope

wave. Charlie crawls

out from the wreckage.

That late night last night,

k*ll me. He was still

working when I went to

sleep, and he's done more.

You know, he's been just busted. I was up

till around. I didn't go to sleep at all.

In the difference of

what we had at 8 o'clock

last night, we had now major difference.

But there's still miles to go before this

team can sleep. Charlie clears his head.

And gets back to his pontoon tips.

The pontoons will be filled with a

special form to give them buoyancy.

It will take almost the entire budget to

float this boat, but

thanks to AP products.

For me, for me, for you.

Phoming is a two-part

process. A catalytic chemical

called polyall is mixed

with another additive.

ISO signate. A reaction takes place creating

heat, which initiates the chemicals to

expand into a foam. One cubic foot of

foam can float approximately 60 pounds.

While floating this boat, the team

learns a valuable safety lesson.

Sparks and foam don't mix.

Phomed in ready to float. It's time

to test Jim's improved wind system.

The big question, will the

wind system lift the steel

pond tunes filled with an

additional 800 pounds of foam?

Is it hard for you? Fail

you're now. We'll sink their

hopes of floating the boss

by the end of the day.

Come on, baby.

Even though I totally

think his idea was wrong

and wasn't going to work

and everything I got

respected, he just worked.

You know, he doesn't

he busts a*s. You can't

fall anybody for that.

You know, he's sold on

and he's doing it no

matter what I say or

anybody else is says. So

that's some stuff like I would do. It

proved me wrong. You know, it's awesome.

But there's a hitch

starting from the closed

position. The wind system

is unable to push the heavy

on tunes back out. It is

going to take quite a bit

to be able to live all

that way past the falling.

Yeah, there you go. There

you go. There you go.

But they got to be able

to let loose once it gets

to a point. So it has

to be just a push on it.

Yeah, and just not a

good world of flat tabs

somewhere where you push the ship is on.

Just drives it out. That's

a good idea, actually.

Steve's idea for a

lifting system will use

four actuators. The

actuators will push on the

pontoons lifting them

to the balance point

to then be guided down

by the wind system.

If that doesn't work, it's on to plan B.

We're going to weld Jim in the pontoon.

Nice and then he can

just push all everything

out when he's in there. It's crunch time.

Every tick of the clock

a crack of the whip

driving the exhausted

team to the finish line.

Jessie and his crew tackled

the propeller system.

The drive shaft will be

connected to a propeller

shaft using two sprockets

in a motorcycle chain.

Right like that.

We're going to clean up on this prop shaft

when we get our gear to slide on there.

The propeller is good to go.

The last piece to go on. Jessie's

bumper float. They fill it with foam.

And then they're off.

This bus has one final

exam to pass before

they can call it a boat.

Jessie arrives at the Marina,

barking orders. He tells

all sea life to clear the

way for his sea monster.

We're going to keep hearing

me. With the bus, we'll float.

The pontoons are lowered

in locked. Jessie

takes the helm of the

boat. The skipper orders

to ship out to sea.

There you go.

Back to time. Well, it looks like our

backs were against the wall a little bit.

Jim's the ultimate

outlaw. Despite us being

a totally against

whatever he had going on,

he still kept to his word and did it.

So I got to give you respect for that.

It's not fun. Yeah, it was.

That was like fall into your clenish way.

Check them out.

Expert painter Tom Pruitt applies a

special waterproof coating to the pontoons.

And sunshine yellow for

the monster bus ready

to head out for the

ultimate school party.

It's got a date with

a lake. Monster garage

factory. In 1939, the official color for

school buses was changed

from Omaha Orange

to Chrome Yellow.

According to scientists,

the color yellow acts as a stimulant to

the eyes and alerts the brain to danger.

Right swag big yellow floating

school buses floating school buses.

Thank you going to be

kidding me. I never kid

about floating vehicles

and I'll tell you who else

doesn't. Jessie James, the mastermind

behind this monster machine.

He better not get around

check out his competition

25 feet of lean main

pontoon boat party fun.

Tell us the rules of

this competition, Frank.

Swag points will be awarded

for speed and partying.

First our boats must

navigate through the marina.

The first team to enter a have a

suit channel wins 5-20. After that,

it's a mad dash through

the channel with the

first boat crossing

under the London Bridge

winning 10 points. But what

about the party, Franky?

Teams will receive one point

for every monster party moves.

Monster party move,

what the hell is that?

I don't know, but you'll know

it when you see it, Franky.

I'll have to take your word for it, Franky,

because our teams are ready to race.

Booze out to the b*stards and both

boats are heading down the launch ramp.

Now, the pontoon boat is

guided by a truck and trailer.

While Jessie drives

his bus right into the

water's edge, I wonder

what he's going to do now.

I'll tell you what he's going to do.

He's going to work some hydraulic magic.

I don't believe what I'm saying, Frank.

The roof of the bus just

turned into two giant pontoon.

It's for the perfect party platform.

Through while the machine you got there.

I want to fill the bus into a boat.

Look at that twag. The team

lost the pontoon's in place.

A pontoon boat is already wet.

You got to wonder if this early lead

is affecting Jessie in his crew.

Chad, what are they doing? It looks

like some sort of railing system.

As always, Frank, it's safety

first in the monster garage.

We need jackets.

Like jackets.

Yeah, there you go. It's skunkest swim.

That's right. There's all room for

life jackets on the pleasure cruise.

There's only space for the essentials.

Click a nice chest.

Oh, barbecue and deck chair.

Yeah, let's go.

The crowd looks on as the team drives

the bus effortlessly into the water.

And she floats.

And just like that, Jessie and his

monster mechanics bolt into the lead.

The pontoon boat is just now

pointed away from the trailer,

but Jessie's got a good

50 foot lead on it.

Trag, the pontoon boat has a definite

speed advantage over the pontoon bus.

Frankie, the pontoon boat

captain is docking again.

Why?

I'll tell you why, swag.

He's parking his truck.

Parking his truck. You

gotta be kidding me.

There's no time for parking your

truck in a monster garage challenge.

Well, he can't very well leave

it on the launch ramp, swag.

Jessie's already made to

turn down the channel.

Frank, that's five points

for the monster garage.

Look at that scoop of light

through that water. Unbelievable.

You'll go full and a bottle of blood.

They're cruising swag, no doubt about it.

And the London bridge is

in sight, but the pontoon

boat is closing the gap

and closing it fast.

From the shore, the crowd

cheers on the school bus.

It looks like they'll be

first to make the bridge.

But wait a minute, what's this?

The school bus is stopped.

Is she dead in the water?

I don't think so.

Jessie's too smart for that.

He knows he cannot run

the faster pontoon boat.

He's decided to get right down

to earning some hardy points.

And there it goes.

The boat passes the bus and

makes it under the bridge first.

Give it a 10 to 5, Lee.

Check it out, swag.

The monster garage crew

already has their barbecue lid.

One party point, it's 10 to six.

Jessie takes matters into his own hands,

performing a near perfect swan dive.

That's good for another

party point, Frank.

10 to 7.

This competition isn't nearly over.

The pontoon boat docks

with the pontoon bus.

And we have ourselves

a monster garage party.

And look at this, it's

a full scale immunity.

The crew, the pontoon boat, is

joining the monster garage party.

That's good for two monster party points.

The pontoon boat's holding

a slim lead at just 10 to 9.

What's the story on the pontoon boat?

Nothing, it's empty.

Everybody wants to be on

the floating school bus.

That's another party point.

It's all tied up, swag,

10 points of peace.

It's a barrage of

cannonballs, what price?

What for?

That's another party point.

Monster garage takes to least 11 to 10.

Wait a minute, jumping

in with your shoes on?

That's a party foul, deduct one point.

Ah, but they'll get the point right

back with some undexual wrestling.

Don't worry, God, though.

Thank you very much.

Monster garage, 11 onto boat 10.

Jesse and his crew, victory

is again in an amazing

come from behind victory.

Schools out, class dismissed.

But there's no time for

synchronized swimming.

Aquatic ethics or a floating sea at stop.

There's metal to burn, sports to fly.

The next monster garage challenge

is just around the bend.

I don't know if you're

about there, so I'm about

there, so I'm about

there, so I'm about there.
