Don't think anyone has ever built a hull from scratch but we have done
some very unusual things - engine transplants, swapping upper and lower
decks, putting motors in skis they were never intended for but as for
hand laying a hull, not only would it be a lot of work, but the odds of
getting it right are slim and none. Lots of ways to improve on what's
already out there.

I think dropping a small block V8 into a ski would be a fun project!

Tom you forgot to mention greatest achievements by Killer GPR for past 5
years You remember that ass hole who spent more time and money on his
Yamahas trying to set the world on fire with his 260 HP 85 mph PWC. Boy o
boy how quickly we forget the sad story of the morons who inflicted more
damage to this sport then rest combined.
PS to my knowlage none of his Killer Yamahas even came close to HPT build
GPR which rune 81 mph long time o go.
As I recall his PWC spent more time in shop then on the water.

Have a very pleasant summer.
Hope you have deep pockets.

George,

Do you ever post positive feedback to people.
Its sad that all your posting here turn into an all out assault on others
and as usual finish off with how great you are.
Just calling it as I read it.

Steve you need new prescription glasses, you know nothing about what is
going on, you have no idea what these people are up to, my advise is to
keep your mouth shot, period.

Naw, I think Steve's vision is pretty much 20-20.

You sit there and tout your virtues as a "good Christian" while you
pompously violate at least four of the seven "Deadly Sins".

And the saddest thing is that you lack the requisite self-awareness to
fathom what a hypocrite you are, and how generally loathed you are by the
PWC community at large.

Wallow in your ignorance George, for you are little more than the "comic
relief" around here. And as far as your "advise" is concerned, the best
advice that I can give anyone is to simply ignore yours.

Hi ya All,

Gee'z, I only asked (maybe a stupid,) question, but didn't want to feed some
flamewar Wink

Ok, as i understand, there is no such thing to find on the web as a simple
Hull (line or 3D) drawing, and some exploded views of the jet drives ?
(Googled a lot on this, but maybe i use the wrong search words.)

No links at all ?

Best Regards,

Nope. When Mastercraft bought WetJet, they found out a LOT about
building hulls and lost about $20,000,000 in the process! If there's a
better hull out there, Sea-Doo will probably find it - it's one of (only
one?) the things they do right. If you want exploded views of
jetdrives, go to rivayamaha.com and go to their parts finder and click
on any of the pump diagrams. Won't give you any engineering specs but
may show you some more detail.
