Simple jet drive for small boat

There is always someone wanting a simple propulsion unit.I made a unit similar with the impeller housing made of wood fitted into a ply surf board to take a fishing longline out.A rotosythe lawn mower motor was used and a large impeller.Unit was compact and safe to use.This idea does work quite well,about as good as a 2 HP small outboard motor.

I have done some mental exercise on this idea as hinted here; Lawn Mower Outboard
I would prefer to work out some thing in the range of 6-7 hp.
Thank you for your guidance !

It would be interesting to see how a much bigger impeller and motor would perform.With an improved intake flow.
