There is a member of the Black Park club working on a conversion at the moment. Apparently the maiden voyage went well.  I will post a photo if I see it.

Hi Ken
They are in the shops . Gift set around £40 to £50. I must  looked at one . Just watch the weight. Finnjet is 520mm long and there not much weight you can get in her.
