    Jet drive boat build

    Has anyone built a boat with jet drives on it? Seen some jet drives that look like they would be a cool project. Duel jet drive build. Maybe a cat or a v hull. Anyone have any input or advise? What would be a good length?

    This one needs to go to the Q and A department.

              I had to take a trip to the Philippines, so I was forced to sell her.

                Here's an Ed Hardy version Viper that I converted to jet drive. Fabricated the steering/trim nozzle out of PVC pipe fittings. It ate that 150A Etti for lunch. And fried a Seaking 180A. Went to a Neu 1515/1y and a 200A Suppo. So far so good.

                  Very nice boat.
                  Everytime I see that style hull I think of the Bat boat. In all black with a jet drive, it just screams for a batman logo and red pinstripes!
