I will, it will be a little while before I generate any tangible progress though. Heck, with my current workload and hunting weather still creeping into the Texas summer, it will likely take me a month to complete a 1:5 scale model. Then I will order the raw materials... Steve

Yes, I am going to fab the hull. It will be a modified V hull, so at the end of the day the hull itself IS a "delta-pad". Current calculations predict that I will need ~3" of deadrise to the delta-pad, to achieve my desired draft of 6" at rest or static flow. Steve

I have checked out your build and Ranchero50's. Each lent inspiration and great information which will be incorporated into my build. And, because I am starting with a pile of aluminum sheet, I will have the advantage of picking and choosing which features to incorporate and how.

Well, that means that I need 6 or 6.5" of draft. More than I wanted, but still less than a prop runner with 3" draft, a prop and skeg sticking out under it. Incidentally, I do not have the cast intake, I will have to fab my own. Time for a little math... Thanks, Steve

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, this one aint going to have instructions of any kind. I am using what I have on hand, which is a '99 Yamaha 1200GP jet ski, for donor parts. I have what I think you are referring to as a delta pad incorporated into the design already. I need to figure out...

Hello all. I have been boating and rigging hulls for some 20 years, but have zero axial flow jet (and little outboard jet) experience. None the less, I have been bitten by the jet bug. I have a motor, pump, design, fabrication and aluminum welding ability, so I am hoping that Y'all can help me...
