Hi guys, just thought an update was in order, sorry but no pictures yet. I will be getting the next last of trial injection molded parts sometime next week, providing it all lines up and fits together the full production of 1000 units will be in my hands within a week.
As for the impellers, I had to change manufacturer, I have been ensured that I will have them in 3 weeks, I am using the same guy that made? The cnc roll bar clamps, i will try to get some pictures of what I have so far soon.
The plans for the hull are finished so I should be routing out the mold for the vacuum mold in the next week or so, again I will update here with pictures once I have something to show.
Again thank you everyone for their patience with me, trying to get this mammoth project off the ground whilst working full time and bringing 2 kids under the age of 2 is not easy.

Hi Guy's, here is the rectified injection molded parts, pretty happy how they have turned up, just given the go ahead to manufacture 1000 units.
The impellers should be finished in a week or so, because I had to change the manufacturer I could only get 200 made first, will post some pictures once I get them.
On the hull side, I should be CNC'ing out the plug very soon.jet u.jpgjet unit.jpgjet unit1.jpgjet.jpgComment

Hello all, I should have the jet units available in about 2 weeks, I should have all the injection molded parts on around the 21st, and the impellers around the following week. Will test one first, but all should be OK to sell some the week after , around 28th- 05th.
I am also going to put a few of these up for Christmas gifts.
Nearly finished the smaller hull mold, got a little wet sanding then polish before I can sell them, but hoping to have a few glass hull done before I release the jet unit.
Take care guysComment

Will do ,
Just received 4 big boxes of injection molded parts, all up just a shade over 7000 separate parts.
Also finished the small jetboat mold, am hoping to be pulling the first hull out in the coming days. I will document the whole build here as I do it, I will also be making a instruction sheet to put these units and hulls together.
You will also see in the pictures of the building amount of parts I am accumulating ready for the release, hopefully in the next week or so as the impellers should be finished by the 21st November, and posted to me sometime next week, the boxes for the jet units should be in my hot hands next week too, also should be getting close to having some video footage about the same period.
Providing I get the new router bits this week I should be CNCing out the plug for the bigger jetsprint hulls this weekend???
Warm regards all, and thankyou so much for not getting too bored with me trying to get it all together.
