Direct Drive Prop on Seadoo?

I'm getting parts together to make this monster.. I'm going to pull out all the jet pump parts and fiberglass in a direct drive prop straight from the motor and put rudder in. Im not looking to be super shifty on the water.. just FAST! I'm just new into boating so I was wondering if anyone has done this or have any info or just wanna put in your 2 cents. Thanks!!!

What monster?

Wait... I think I can picture it, a SeaDoo with a big block V-8 in it.

90's I was going to tilt the engine to get the prop more "under the ski" and round out the underneath to help with cavitation.

That will probably change dramatically!

Becoming "new out of boating"

Wouldn't 200 be a better target?
