First coat of paint is applied Very pleased with result
Kawasaki green so I can spot it on the water easier
Think I will name it Kermit and paint him on it somewhere
What do you think ?

Well finally finished the actual boat and now ready for fit out
Zenoah 26 cc marine engine arrived this morning and jet unit on its way so busy days ahead
Got to make roll bars to scale yet probably use aluminium to save weight
The engine develops 3.4 hp at 13000 revs so should give it a bit of punch
1/4 scale crew to order yet and some instruments for dash board
Think I will have a wee break from it all for a while and give my mancave/ Messcave a bit of a tidy up lol

Six months ago I drew up the plans for my Jet Sprint boat and at last it is completed and ready for its first test run
Very happy with results so far so hope it performs well on the water
Have leak and ballast tested it and all good so here's hoping for a successful first run up the river
Has been a real challenge at times but well worth it and a lot of satisfaction and fun making it
I have named it "Rapid Hoppa " so I hope you all like it
Will post a video of its on the water performance as soon as I can

Finally I was able to test it on the water
Couldn't find a suitable river nearby so opted for a local park
Very pleased with the results very stable on the water and quite fast even though I kept the revs at about 50% until fully run in
Hope you all like it
