Hey id just like to ask every one what they think of my project so far and if they think it will be fast. I had a 8ft fiberglass boat with a rotten transom and a crashed Kawasaki 750ss Jetski. What i did was cut the bottom off the jetski so i would have all the motormounts and the jet pump set up all complete. Then i cut out a whole roughly the same size as the jetski hull and made it flow with the bottom of the boat. Ive already fiberglassed the bottom of the jetski to the boat and i just have to finish fiberglassing the inside of the jetski hull to the boat. Then i gotta make a Deck and do the interior. So im a little ways off but i though id take opinions of my project. Ill post pics later if i get some responses. btw whats the top speed of a 750ss Id like to know what speeds ill be hitting

mmm sounds interesting, i would love to see it ..... a 750 jet ski isn't really that fast and with extra body now it would be a bit slower .....

Alan, Your procedure to graft the wave runner to the boat sounds like the same procedure that is used on a heart transplant. You may have to pay royalties to Dr. Christian Benaard!
