[QUOTE="bnt5, post: 351102, member: 13957"] I am in the beginning stages of my build, the part where I am rebuilding the jetski engine so I have a running motor...so I haven't gotten into the nuts and bolts of the jetjon yet. If I had it to do all over again I would just use a Yamaha GP800-1100 ski/engine and build off of that platform since everything unbolts and installs into the jon boat. Since that isn't the case I might end up using a fiberglass hull and working from that angle (weight being a real issue). I really want to go the aluminum boat route but getting an entire Yamaha pump assembly is going to be costly and I have a perfectly good one sitting in my garage with power trim and reverse, it would be a shame to toss it. The whole crappy part of this deal is that I cant try to come up with a workable solution of mating the two systems without first purchasing an expensive used Yamaha pump. Kind of a danged if you do and danged if you don't situation. :cry: [/QUOTE]
