Hi,

Looking for information about setting up a boat with a jet engine system.
Have had a bit of a search on the web but seem to find full size boats
rather than model boats.

Anybody know of any good site with information, designs and sales of the
engines to make a jet boat? In terms of sales, if anybody know a good
Australian store that would be appreciated.

Thanks,

D.

Graupner makes a line of jet drives for model boats

Have a look here at "hobby lobby international"

Nobody in Oz that I know of, but ask at "Float-a-Boat" (where I go for
advice) http://www.floataboat.com.au (of course, they're just down the
road from where I work)

There are some beautiful jet-powered boats at a German model company
site, damn, it's not here on my home machine, I'll have to get it from
work... ah back, the wonders of a VPN... It's Kehrer Models,
http://www.jet-drive.de/ Click on "English" then "Products" then
"Boats" then "SAR 33" and be prepared to drool. It was in MMI a few
months ago.

Cheers,
Gary B-)

So where is the Jet Drive stuff?

It all looks prop-driven to me?

And the picture of the "Hunter", the only thing in the gallery, are the
same as can be seen anywhere.

output=filter&generateID=219&language=english

Under or use the original link and click on "products" then "Drives"
