Nice rig. Northwest makes one heck of a jet sled.
Your close Mike, it's a 6.0l same motor that goes in the trucks,but marinised (sp?) by marine power.The builders of these types of boats are now dropping in yanmar diesel engines (as an option)They are very expensive, but very efficient, burning half the fuel of what the gas engines burn.They will eventually come down in price,I hope, and when they do I will consider it.A new yanmar diesel today is $20,000 + :shock: :shock: At cruise speed 25-30mph 3000-3200rpm that 6.0l burns aprox 7-8 gal per hr, drop the hammer to wot 50mph 14-16 gal per hour :shock: I mostly use the kicker for trolling which sips fuel, so it's not that bad.
