Thunderjet the real lightweight! Now with carbon fiber!
Heres the plan,disassemble the shoddily put together hull,reglass and reinforce everything,brace the firewall heavily,reassemble and upgrade to much larger engine,we arn't talking 1000ccs just 750 or larger.I am in no hurry here as I have other projects to finish up as well.Just thought some of you might be interested in a few pics of the first lightweight jet ski hulls that was ever mass produced.I had this thing apart in less than twenty minutes if that tells you anything,hull construction appears to be epoxy-s-glass composite,none of the bond lile was holding and the foam appears to have been put into the two halves of the hull before it was assembled.It uses an inner liner like WDK's boats with the firewall made as part of the inner liner.It took no cutting to get this apart just a bit of prying with a wonderbar.
