            Great job Diegoboy! I am inspired! I have always liked jet drives and have my electrovee in drydock awaiting some hot impeller action. I could have told you about the hatch that was one of Dads first move when I made him try 6S. He also moved the antenna to a fixed mount outside of the hatch area... You probably already dunnit... Superb work and congrats!!!

              Thanks!
              I did, the hatch is no place for an Antenna tube IMHO

                My question is that is it possible to make this a contender in a offshore class?

                  Isn't everything a contender for an offshore class

                        Hey Diego;
                        It looks great and runs better. I am surprised it balanced so well with the motor so far forward.
                        You are welcome on the water pickup, always available for hot tips.
                        So now you know it runs lets see some white water video
                        Or you could just sell it to Doby.
                        Good Job;

                          Thank you.
                          My thanks to you was mostly about the placement of the hole in the hull (before it was too late) It was greatly appreciated

                            Yes, I agree, this build should NOT be offshore contender, but restricted to treacherous white water racing.... new territory? I also wanna see that puppy tear up some rapids, whoever owns it. May not even need turn fins for this app?

                              I think for a white water application, I'd want turn fins, but I've never tried it!

                                What??

                                The whole advantage of a jet boat is that there is nothing hanging below the hull to hit on the rocks.
                                Turn fins might not be a great idea.
                                On a pond turn fins yes.
