Dana .. contact Peter Hawkins about which hull from your own stable to use , add a delta on the keel ,

re-build one of your deck-molds to a more jet-boat-style .. and you'll have a winner.

Only rival on the USA market is the MHZ-jetsprint .. I'm sure you can beat their pricing ,

and i can vouch your laminating skills.

I recomment using this deck ... making the opening more to front , and a nice wide rim for attaching a windowscreen.



Dana W -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (12/27/2009 3:49 AM)

Thanks guys . I just started a build design today . I'll post some photo's in a few weeks . I was thinking 34" in length . What's your opinion on that ?



Dana W -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (12/27/2009 3:53 AM)

Thanks Hendrick but I was more interested in designing a new jet sprint boat .

As long as you make it 13,5" (min) wide ... it should be OK for a jetboat.



bentley marshall -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (12/27/2009 6:46 AM)

what jet unit you going to use dana???



Dana W -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (12/27/2009 7:48 AM)

I have a customer that will be ordering an MHZ .



Dana W -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (12/30/2009 12:06 AM)

Here's a few photo's of the build process .



Dana W -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (12/30/2009 12:07 AM)

A few more .



gtdad -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (12/30/2009 12:47 AM)

excellent work on BOTH boats. I grew up having jet boats and it is something you'll always have a craving for once you own one!!  what kind of speeds are these puppies gettin with a stock 26? You loose a lot of speed with a real jet pump over a prop...less efficiant.  just wondering...

what about a catamaran with a center pod for the pump?? I used to own one that was 19' with a BBC. I'd like to find something like that
anyone make a hull like that?


here's a pic of DOCKMAN's boat!!






Dana W -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (12/30/2009 6:59 AM)

Time to work on the hull .



Dana W -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (1/1/2010 7:39 AM)

bentley marshall -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (1/1/2010 7:58 AM)

Dana W -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (1/1/2010 8:10 AM)

Yeah , I just put the rear spoiler on . I'll put some photo's up tomorrow



Dana W -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (1/1/2010 8:36 PM)

Here are a few photo's of the rear spoiler .



BILLIUM -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (1/1/2010 8:57 PM)

Dana W -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (1/1/2010 9:44 PM)

Thanks Bill .



bentley marshall -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (1/1/2010 10:01 PM)

looking good



Scott Schneider -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (1/1/2010 11:32 PM)

Dana,

Looks as if that is a Plug for building a mold ?

If you produce them, would be VERY interested in one for my Swashdrive pump [;)]



infinityteg -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (1/1/2010 11:54 PM)

Hi guys

I am also building a plug for molding a sprint hull. just wish i could work as fast as what Dana is.

just noticed the shot of the rear of the hull still has a v keel. you prob know this but the pump will require a flat delta keel.

cheers
steve



infinityteg -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (1/2/2010 12:11 AM)

Heres a couple of pics of mine also showing my delta keel
just got to do the final sand and start polishing

cheers
steve



Dana W -> RE: Gas Jet Boaters (1/2/2010 1:19 AM)

Thanks for sharing . Nice job . Yes I realize the pump requires a delta keel for the intake but I thought I'd make the V hull first then shave the back for the delta keel . Then add the strakes . Thanks for your input though .

Yes Scott this is only the plug . Hope to be molding very soon .
