    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    ive been researching this lately also, thought about doing it on the real cheap, using a dingy, change the bottom to thicker aluminium and wack a jet ski motor and jet unit into it, also thought about buying a complete jet boat but a older one as a donor boat and buying a fresh hull, but they want an arm and a leg for them

    Hmm would my 3.8 Commy V6 and single stage unit fit in one of those .. I think not.. Bugger..
    I reckon one of those Tuff Jets would be awesome round here .Hit the river then stop at Thames !!
    Off course after several fuel and beer stops en route through the towns..
    What were the Tuff jets 15k or so.. Ouch ..
    "This is my Flag... Ill only have the one ..

    These boats are without a doubt the best way to go, goat and his mates have them sorted, CRR900RR motors and jet ski pumps.

    Get in touch with them for test rides and they will help you to the finished product, then the fun begins.

    They are on a nz jetboat.com forum


    Here is the build video

    I really want a finished bare hull to bolt engine into and fit out.
