Default RE: flying fish A-6 is my new boat reliable??

LOOK under hobby lobby. the brand name is graupner. the jet drives are not too costly, depends on your idea. the best things about jet drives are, there is no rudder to break off, and no prop in the water to damage. you can run in shallow water, or on dry land, by accident with out damage. the jet drive needs a powerful motor to make it work good. some of them have a water pick up tube. hook up a fuel line to this, and run it to a brass tube around your motor for cooling. the water pick up works at low speed, because it is fed by the pressure from the compression of the jet. if you put two 850's on two jet drives, there will not be a faster boat near you. you may want one with a thrust rev. i find it very useful. any thing else , please feel free to email me, thanks wayne
