I'm clearing off the bench for a new build and have some stuff to get rid of.

1. Modified jet drive. Smoothed extended intake, brass sleeve, custom balanced 6 screw coupler, custom drive shaft, custom drive cog and custom impeller to suit plus spare impeller. No steer nozzle!

Custom couplers (machined by me NOT Nqd's redrilled) 2.3mm-3.2mm x 2 and 3.2mm-3mm x 1

ALL SOLD!

Thanks

You might consider putting that in the Classifieds section, and be sure to include pics. A 3.2 coupler is slightly oversized for most motors (3.175 or 1/8") isn't it? Wouldn't that leave room for wobbble?

SkR8Pn

Sorry I was having trouble posting in the classified section. As for the couplers they all fit snug. Did you try the one I sent you?

sundogz

Whoops, sorry J, my bad. I get on so many forums sometimes I forget who's who! Yes, the coupler I got from you fits well (I just tried it on a new motor) and the 3 screws on each end is a nice touch - should balance out well.

Is it possible to get your boat water tight. No matter what I do water gets in slowly. Not via the prop shaft as I watched it over the weekend in the laundry sink. And I have silicone putty everywhere.

Maybe I am just wishful thinking.

sundogz

I've never accomplished that and have since given in. I keep a piece of kitchen sponge in the hull - the kind that is hard when dry. That soaks up whatever gets in there between runs.

new video has hit the youtube. This time I added music.

yeah I have to admit it might look easy when watching others but when attempting it. It is not.

SkR8Pn

Ain't that the truth! I've already had to change music on one to be playable on mobiles etc..

What paint do you guys recommend to paint the hull?

Also what 'prep' will be required to go from the orange?? How to remove stickers etc?//

cheers....

prontozuk

the stickers are very hard to get off so i used 120 wet and dry as dry and it turned out well. to paint i don't know.

That is a beautiful place to run boats!!!

prontozuk

we spent 3 nights here and it was awesome.

SkR8Pn

Your going to some really nice places.

seehuusen

a shame I didn't know you were out at booloumba creek, it's half an hour away from me...

prontozuk

you can see that it has been devastated by floods but the people that look after it (i think national parks) has done a nice tidy up of it.

seehuusen

it's actually funny you say that, I'll mention it to my missus. She has been part of the people who looked after that (she runs a Landcare team)

prontozuk

well congrats to the team.

seehuusen

thanks! I did run my boat during the floods, some scary moments where I thought I'd lost it (gotta be in it to win it, as they say)

prontozuk

I had a moment during one of my days video and jet boating. I had fit a rock and flipped and it was heading for a water fall. I was all dry after the flipped it i needed a whole change of clothes.
