[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 291154, member: 6937"] Nice work, sir! :mrgreen: Don't know how I missed this when you posted it a couple of days ago, but anyhow, here I am! I always enjoy reading these jet jon threads and seeing photos. Looks like you're doing it with no welding involved, and that makes this a good informational thread for those who want to build jet jons, but may lack the welding and machining equipment. As to the question about the engine, it appears to be a 717 cc Rotax engine, like what is used in the speedster jetboats. With that engine in a 12 foot boat, you should see speeds of around 40-45 MPH, maybe even faster, as that boat is pretty lightweight from all appearances. Keep us posted, and if you need any info as to control cables, or even how to make a weedless grate, check out my aluma-jet build. [/QUOTE]
