    Me too!

    I have completed a custom "quick release" motor mount for her, I just need to install the mount and couple it to the drive. Then she's ready for the water! (still needing turn fins though)

        I hope that's sarcasm skipskip! That jet is made to push a MUCH bigger boat!

                  turn fins

                  Hey Diego;
                  Why is it again you think you need turn fins on a jet boat. If you have enough power to the jet it will turn in it's own length at full speed and be going the other way while everything else on the water is still thinking about turning!

                    Because my 1st jet boat, Shockwave 26, would just spin out in a turn.

                        Why yes it did, as a matter of fact.

                                2-56 push rod is now replaced by a beefy 4-40 rod.
