Quatercraft mini hydro jet...
« on: September 17, 2012, 12:43:09 PM »
Ok just picked this up. I need ideas and history about these things.

It runs the way it is with a modifed 440 jet ski motor in it.

If it is not scary enough i have a rotax 1300 in my shop. I need you guys to help me brainstorm possibilites for this thing.

Also thinking of taking the jet pump out and running half of a V drive set up. so that i can get the boat out of the water at speeds.

anyway lets hear some ideas and concerns.

i forgot about this page so i will try to delete the other one

what would you do if this was yours?
Do you know anything about the history of this little guy?

I am going to run it as is to see what we got.
yes that is a joy stick and the go pedal is on the stick as well. kinda of like a trigger.

the paint was fadded but as you can see from the pics i did a quick polish to the tips of the sponsons and it brought back the shine pretty good so i will finish the rest of the boat.

Got her back together and shinned up. And after a few hours of trying to chase down wires and get everything hook up the right way. she is pretty much river ready

Its supposed to do 50mph. i will bring my gps on sunday to see what she really does

its got huge skags on both sponsons. so i am not sure if it will spin out or not.

this thing was created to compete with jet skis so it kind of has to turn on a dime

So the shake down run did not go as expected. The boat was severly lacking in power. i think we maxed it out at 26mph. so this easy project just turned into another complete build that will take up room in my garage. We are going to swap a 4 stroke 1300 seadoo motor and pump in it. That should do the trick.
