Adding a jet to a bodyboard
Hi all
I don't know anything about RC boating, but was asked about a possible project. We have several bodyboards, and someone asked me if it was possible to put some kind of electric turbine on the bottom to pull you through the water, possibly for kids. Is this possible? |

You could put a motor pod on a boogie board if you wanted, but it would only be useful under power. Unpowered it would add drag to the board and make it unusable as a wave riding platform.

 Very low drag with that setup.

You're all welcome,... Can't imagine why ALL these things stick in my head...
 I think you'll have to go the same route as Buddy, and build it yourself. Or maybe adapt a cheap dive scooter to hang from the bottom of the board. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&c...cooter&spell=1
