I have to say it may have been well worth the wait on your guy doing your seats.  The colors look very cool and unique, well done.  Also cant wait to see it in the water, hope you can get someone to help with photos and videos even.  Jim.

What a blast!!!!    Does everything I hoped it would.  Acts just like a little jet ski .  Spins around, runs out nice. not very fast, but fast enough.  I’ll try to get some action shots and post. Jeff showed up and helped with adjusting the steering and got a ride. Thanks Jeff.

Nicely done, and a quick turnaround as well.  Hope to see it in August.   Still kinda like the idea of a mock low power outboard motor  to throw folks a curve ball, but it looks great as is.

Flingtron? Gt-Jet?  Either way, looks and runs well!

Would guess 35 MPH would be about a 65 to 75 HP outboard motor on a GT.
What RPM ?
Maybe a Stainless Steel impellier ... Don't know anything about Jet's ...

I'm curious to know if pulling a tube, skier, or wakeboard is possible?  From the video it appears to be a blast to run.
