Jet boat: Graupner Commodore for 23cc Zenoah

[zee]

Hi

I am planning building the Commodore from Graupner. It is about 1,5m/60" long and is driven by a Zenoah 23/26 through a scale hamilton jet drive. The Hull and deck is epoxy glass and has a offshore deep vee type configuration.

If anyone has any information or has built this or a similar type of boat, please post a reply with some info/ building advice. Also any info/photos of the boats performance will be most appreciated and motivating. There is very little info available that I know of.

Many thanks
Zee.

Hi Zee, it is over a year since your message. Did you get it built? I am interested cos I want to scratch build a scale jetboat using a Graupner jet unit and .40 engine. This is my first project so I'm starting simple. I would prefer to get plans of a suitable hull at least, but there seem to be none for shallow vee sports runabouts.

Anyhow let me know how you got on!
