Help Identifying my Jet drive please?

Hi All, would appreciate some help identifying the Jet drive on a boat i acquired recently, see attached jpegs, it is powered by a Rover V8 with LPG conversion on what appears to be a straight forward ski boat, many thanks in advance for any assistance.
I am looking to find any details i can

regards
Shane


A Resonating Quotation:

Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in
England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all,
it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a
fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. ...Voice
or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked,
and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country
to danger. It works the same in any country.

Kinda looks like a Doen. Also has some similarity to a Kodiak.

Common stuff in Uk.

Do you wanna know where to get bits from?

Lancing Marine,

Some one seemd to have slipped some political garbage in with your request for identification of your jet photgraphs there, Stange that.

Never seen that happen before.

Is there someone specific at LancingMarine to ask for. I rang them today and was told that they don't do spares for PP Jet drives

The Lancing Marine team is headed by Mike Bellamy who founded the business in 1970. I Googled PP jet drives and these came up: http://www.pumpgroup.co.uk/ and http://www.mke.co.uk/

Thanks JamesN, Spoken to Mr Voce and he's kindly sending through a parts list. Tony, I'm looking for 2 things; a replacement steering arm and a faster impeller. From talking to Mr Voce, there were 4 impeller 'sizes' for the PP65 originally - 3 with 3 blades and 1 with 4, the 4-blade one being the fastest, which is the one I've got. Turns out I have quite a rare PP65 - it's got tilt/trim, so no stock on the steering arm, so I'll make my own from a piece of ali. I wanted a shorter arm anyway to speed up the steering.
