[QUOTE="bnt5, post: 352289, member: 13957"] For those that have experience with jetjons, I am trying to plan my motor/pump placement in the boat. Is it better to have the ride plate outside of the hull as far back as possible? I can build an aluminum tunnel that encapsulates the nozzle for protection and allows the ride plate to be bolted to the bottom flange of said tunnel. I have seen a few builds where they push the ride plate back as far as possible so maybe that helps with the ride..... :?: Oh, btw I am building the boat myself from some online boat plans in order to mimic the bottom contour of the jetski in the hopes this prevents cavitation and gives a better ride. We shall see, I'll probably end up wanting a 180hp 4-stroke motor by the time I'm done.LOL Thanks Bill [/QUOTE]
