General Boating Questions

Posted by Randi Bimeal on October 2, 2014 at 1:24pm

Hi All,

Well, it seems we are having a hard time locating a jetdrive to move our boat. The 2 we have found would be shipped from UK and Germany and we need it ASAP. We have 10 weeks to finish this project.

We are also having some troubles specing out a motor for the size of our boat. The boat dimensions are approximantly 3 feet long, by 1 foot wide by 1.5 feet tall.

Any help on either issued would be helpful. We need to make a decision tonight whether we are going to continue to find a jetdrive or move on to a prop.

Thanks,

Randi

      Randi,  Is this a displacement hull or planning?  What's the weight?  It doesn't take much to move a displacement hull slowly. Just about any system will move the boat and Tom is probably correct in that the Spartan's system will give you an idea of what you need at the bare minimum.
