[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 291213, member: 6937"] Cool video! Brings back memories of when I started on my jetboat, way back in 2005. I also checked out a couple of your other videos in the mokai....that is a cool little boat right there! :mrgreen: Now ya got me thinking on my next jetboat, maybe I should build something smaller, instead of bigger or equal to what I have. I'd love to have a small lightweight, haul-*** jetboat that's about like a jet ski, small and light enough one man can beach it and drag it off, yet, it has the advantages of a boat, like being able to ride and stay dry. Something like a jet ski kayak or canoe is what I'm thinking, in fact, we've tossed that idea around. But maybe with an aluminum hull, and UHMW plating to make it seaworthy for the fall line and farther inland on SC's rivers, instead of plastic or fiberglass. I own a Yamaha Superjet (stand up jet ski) but my sciatic is getting so bad, I can't have fun on it like I could when I was 20, if I have fun, I pay for it with pain for a few days. [eyeballing SJ from across the yard, looking at recipro saw] "Hmmmmm." :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Nah, I don't think I can bring myself to do it, the ski is in too good of shape, not a stress crack anywhere, and that's EXTREMELY rare for me, I break every jet ski I own. BUT, I think something like the SJ (engine size-wise anyhow) would be a good candidate for a project like that. Or maybe even an old Kawasaki 550, there's tons of those floating around. I see another jet project in my near future................. [/QUOTE]
