8" jet ski

[wrongway]

I found this 8" Jet Ski at my local Wal-Mart for a buck!
I am thinking of making it remote control. Looking for any ideas.
My first concern is weight. I have a small eflite 370 at 4400kv, but have no idea
about prop size. Also not so sure about what to do for a rudder or to make one.
Any input welcome!

Thanks,
Darrell

I would turn it into a real jet ski by installing the jet drive unit from Proboats retrieval duck. Can't quite tell from the transom if it would work or not, but worth looking into.

Hi Damfurst,

I have not yet seen the Proboat duck. I will check it out.
Thanks for the idea!

Thanks,

The drive for the duck seems to be a good way to go and the price is
fair too! Thanks for the info!
