Will be using the driveline from a 97 Waveraider 1100. Should make the swap super easy and clean because of the integrated e box the 1100's have. Also just put an entire pump setup in it last fall so I have a super clean 155 with trim to use.

Awesome! I think these minijets should all have two-strokes...the four-strokes just don't sound the same.
For sure! Hopefully it will be getting shipped early next week.

Way too much TIG welding for me to even consider buying a kit. But it does look pretty fun.

The boat builders all use MIG for the big stuff like that. TIG would take months!
Can we get a OCD Solutions jet boat available come early fall ? HAHAHAHAHA

I'm more of a grinder than a welder. That's why you won't see anything for sale that I have welded. That stuff is for personal use only.
Heres something I built a long time ago. Way before I knew anything about skis.
She was pretty fast and surprisingly good handling. Very much a sleeper. Best part it was built for less than $1500. iPhone gps confirmed 47mph. Never got the other pump on. Corrosion sent her to an early grave.
Hindsight... I'd go fiberglass. At least if you plan on using it in the salt.
It hurt a little when I seen this post. Man I miss that thing. Nothing beats outrunning bay boats and older couches on a jon boat!

My buddy built this gheenoe with a 550 shoved up its backside.
He used the bottom from my 550/650sx hull build. I was about to throw it out. He grabbed it and had it done in 8 days. It cost next to nothing to build. Shes all glass and still alive so thats good.
iPhone gps confirmed 29mph with 2 people.
