11ft jetboat with Polaris SL 750 motor

Thanks for the link Beer! too bad its not in Canada hopefully it'll be reunited with a hull.
I am waiting to hear if i can salvage a pump from the stolen/recovered jetboat i brought in because the owner hasn't claimed it, maybe a machine shop can fab the intake/tunnel section ill need for it
the Berkley minijet on my boat just isn't going to cut it,,

I had to take the whole boat and pay for the destruction (100$)
but I got both jets
and the steering wheel.
it had two 900cc motors so my almost 800cc should be in the ballpark for one of em

and they did a wonderful job.

weighs half at 10 lbs
just need to source another machine shop that can do the driveshaft.

[wreckmaster]

i just have to make some kind of steering linkage.

I had wondered how it turned out.

[wreckmaster]

well my water pickups to cool the motor werent picking up water they were in the wrong spot so i hooked up a water pump and used that for a whole summer while trying to figure out why the coupler kept spitting out the blue insert at high rpm.
I put in a bracket with a bearing to hold the shaft and then the blue insert would just disintegrate...
since that wasnt enough on my plate i decided to misplace that plastic thingy that goes on top of the battery and use some electricians tape,,,well the sea was angry that day and i didnt use enough tape cause you know how $ it is .
when the motor died i opened the hatch and couldnt even see the motor with all the smoke.
Bent two pullers trying to get the flywheel off before i used a recipe from green hulk for a homemade puller
got a stator and cdi off ebay and it ran better than before .
Then i was able to figure out a much heavier duty coupler where the insert doesn't turn into dust and then get the water comming from the jetpump . almost hits 70 going downstream
