I am new to the forum. The past 5 years I been making wood rc boats. I have a set of TNT boat plans and have a Polaris SL750 jet ski for a motor. If any one has any good pics to help me out. That WOOD be cool. I have the frames and just making the jig now... Thanks Bill

Welcome Bill,

The TNT has always been one of my favorites,and I always wondered what it'd be like with a jet since I saw an article on one in Mechanics Illustrated back in the late 1960's.That one used a lot smaller engine than a PWC,so the performance was less.

Glen-L reprinted that article a while back in one of their newsletters:

Here is an article about using a jet ski pump:

THANKS YOU! Them will help.... I do not know if the jet and the motor will be too long to fit in the boat. Mite have to make it 12" 6" long.

The 750 is a good choice. My boat is about 12'6'' + the step plate on the back making it 13'. I modified the transom frame making it more V shaped and it works fine. I also added strakes to the hull. I also arched the deck making more leg room. Have no fear when modifying the plans to make things fit.

Them will help out alot. Thanks!!! I was thinking about putting on some strakes on it. It will give it some lift and speed. Steven your boat is SWEEEET! I hope mine looks that good.
