25mm and 40mm Jet Drives

I have noticed 25mm and 40mm Jet Drives are now available. Spotted on Ebay. I have converted a couple "Tear Into" boats with their 15mm drive to brushless. Now looking to build something a little larger with a lot more power and quality. However, I don't see appropriate hulls on the market. Most monos 24"-39" are deep vee. What's optimum is a shallow vee, and with a ride pad to be perfect. Also, I don't see these particular drives in RTR boats either. So can't go there. Anyone have hands on experience with or is interested in these drives and/or know of good fiberglass hulls to use in? Something other than Pro Boat's (ABS) River Jet or the $$$ Thrasher jet boat.

Thank You and Merry Christmas

Something other.

Has a nearly 3 inch wide pad.
MHZ makes bigger jets if you need.

I am very surprised that there is so little interest in Jet Drive boats. No one else thinking of building a 25mm or a huge 40mm Jet Boat?

I scratch built a flat bottom boat and put a 28mm Graupner jet drive in it years ago. I have yet to finish it to be honest.
I have also done a few of the Tear Into boats.
