[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 394337, member: 15465"] Hi Rob - I built a Jet Jon from Polaris jet ski. Glued & screwed the ski hull into the 16' Alumacraft flat. I was like you & was focused on low budget. Now at the end of the 1st season it is starting to take on water (must be a hairline crack which only opens up under power - does not leak statically). If I could start over I would go full aluminum build. I think you can get a Yamaha alum intake, watch ebay. I would also go 4 stroke, but those are pricey. You also may want to go up 1 size in boat. 1752 would be very stable. The finished boat is well worth the effort. Everyone that I take out likes it. [/QUOTE]
