Turbo Jet Jon!!

The way I have the engine sitting in there the intake won't even start till after the transom. The jet pump is going to stick out about 2.5 feet from the transom. It can be heavily braced so it doesn't get damaged when I hit stuff. Which I know I will.

Now I decided to cut the tunnel all the way out besides the very back section. Now the engine is as low as it will ever be.

Now the tunnel is gone and its back to a reguar flat bottom. I know the welds arent the prettiest but i had some hellacious gaps to fill!!!And I ground them all smooth.

Now its time to test fit the Honda. By the end of the night i removed more useless exhaust and save a bunch more room in the boat. Now ill have just as much room as I had with the outboard. Turn around fishing is a must for river fishing!!!

My least favorite part...making the jet intake. Its a work in progress. I started out making this then decided the engine needs to be mounted 1st so I can line the pump up with the output shaft.
