Thread: Power boat for the young fulla

Thought I'd give the thread and update.

I recently scored a Kawasaki jetski hull off trade me for $1 (dumping the unwanted parts cost $30), it was a shit load harder than expected but I finaly managed to remove the top half and rear third, leaving me with this which is to be the hull of the boat, havent measured it but its around 2m.



I sold the yamaha 15h and scored a 4hp evinrude, This is a bit less grunt than I wanted but it just mean I can get him in it younger then upgrade later

The guy I bought it off said it pumped water sweet, I got it home and chucked it in a barrel of water and cranked it up, started fine but I wasnt convinced it was passing enough water. I shut it of and ended up rippin it to bits. Long story short the water jacket was chocker block with shit but there didnt appear to be any heat damage so I decided to throw a new seal kit and water pump impeller in and a good clean up.just gotta get the prop gear case filled and I'll spark her up again.
