Lots 'o torque with a diesel. You would just need to have an A3/A4+ impellor, prob run great.

I have never seen one in a jet , the one that races is a v-drive.

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

Some of the New Zealand river boat trips use some badass turbo diesels with 3stage Hamilton pumps these things fly! Gasoline is super expensive over there.

These guys run a 70MPH jetboat with 20 people on board :screwy:
