[QUOTE="GTS225, post: 421128, member: 6678"] Can't really be too much different than WW2 drop tanks being used for Bonneville salt cars. Cut it horizontally, build in a safety cage/frame, use what you like, and will fit for a drivetrain, and try to go fast on the salt. Go for it. Start today, keeping an eye out for a single pontoon. Mount outriggers for stability. Wait.....I just re-read your post. I looks like you want to put jet drives in both 'toons. I thought you were going for something fast on the water using a sinlge 'toon. Not a bad idea, but you're going to have to allow for a servicing access panel, and a way to seal up said panel. Lifting a 'toon is a consideration, but I'm not so sure you'd be able to do that in a turn. There's an awfully wide stance on those things. Now, breaking water jumping a wake might be more feasable.
