    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!!!

    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.

    Maybe if he looks at it a 2nd time he'll find something relevant? Or maybe it'd be better if he just gives up before he kills someone.

    Wouldn't 200 be a better target?
