Still toying with platform ideas. The motor/fan I bought pushes 3.2kg of thrust, so now the goal is 3:1 thrust to weight ratio. I could go 8s for more, but seems like it might be overkill and weight will quickly become an issue. So anyways....I found a few F1 hull kits that are pretty light, and only 24" long. Also, I ran across a cheap one in eBay called the NQD PX-16....check it out and let me know what you think. For drag purposes and a better building "base" that could be a good option. The floats seem good, but a purpose built cat may take some minor engineering flaws out on my end you know?

this should be interesting....a car guy and a heli guy swapping ideas for a jet powered boat. Let's make the goal 60mph and see what happens!!!
