nice mike, I had 3, similar conversion, me and my two lads, have you seen the massive build thread on rc groups? its very good, you seem to have it dialled in better than mine where, I kept sucking air all the time, make sure you have a good stone guard I broke two props with debris going into the drive, and at the time could not get spares, Unfortunately I missed one for sale on mayhem a few weeks ago, would love another as a lot of lakes are having the weed again,so a jetboat would be ideal! :-))

had to grub screw the impeller, an ive smoothed the inlet,  but fitted brass wires same as the graupner uses.

you missed the one forsale of here,  it was this boat,  great fun buy
