Do your jet pumps have a reverse cup

Hi, no they do not, they have turning and trim.

Ok guy's, just had a run, will post some video up on Youtube tonight. Went better than expected, so officially they are for sale , $115USD each plus postage.
Please note you will need to put these together yourself. Either PM me here or send an email to : [email protected].
Please include your address in your email so i can get a shipping estimate to you promply.

Hulls will be a few weeks off yet.
Regards Mick

Here is the video, was very happy. May be too small a hull though as it was very twitchy, my hull will be 610mm , should be more suited to this unit.

Hi Mickie. Do you have any plans on incorporating a reverse cup on your drives ?. Thanks

Hi Mate, as of yet i do not, i do have plans on adding a second stage though, but this may be a few months off though.
A reverse bucket on these little boats is mostly for looks, i have been running them for the past 10+ years and not yet have i needed one, will take the idea on though. It will complicate the whole rear cone/ trim arrangement , not to mention the extra cost on setting up another injection mold for it.
Thanks for your interest
Regards Mick

Lookin good Mr Mickie, was that one done using the router ?

What size is that one buddy ?

Hi chris, yep it was CNC'd out with the router, sure beats doing it all by hand. Hull is 620mm long, have also started plans for the marathon river race jet boat hull, maybe have it routed out early in the new year.
So you found me then?
Take care and hope your well.

....... yep, I found you.

Keep that router going buddy, its all looking real good from here on in.

hull2.jpghull3.jpgHi guy's, just a quick update,
Molds are done, well I had to resize the hatch plug so it fits better, but I have the first out of the mold and have started to fit it out , hoping to give it a run Friday the 20th, should be releasing them after the run.
Cheers all Mickhul6.jpghull.jpg

I guess the router is working well MickieB ....

Hull looks pretty good buddy, look forward to seeing the difference between this one and the smaller one, when you get it runnning.

Cheers

Hi Mick,

When you get a break in the action, please show the bottom of the hull with the jet pickup side shown. I want to make sure I get it just like you want it. Man the your Hull really is nice and easy on the eye's. Looks like it will take ruff water pretty good.

Best,

Mike

Hi Mike, as requested

I will have a instruction sheet for the installation of my drives into any hull available in the coming days.
Thanks for the kind words on the new hull, I had to go back and re CNC out the cowl plug as the sizing was all wrong, so hoping to have the molds for it done this week. It should be a perfect size for this jet unit, and still be quite lively ...
I will update more pictures tonight, Regards Mick

Thanks shows me what I wanted to see.
