Everyone Needs one of these

We used to drive little mini hydroplanes in the salt marshes at a friends house when I was little. They didn't go as fast as that, but they were terrifying in a narrow winding salt marsh channel.
 
Man those look like fun, but my back hurts just watching the video.
 
One of these is on my short list of projects that NEED to be built. My property backs up to the South Yadkin river and it’s begging to be terrorized by one of these.

Thicker aluminum on the bottom than the sides. Thicker still under the pump and jet drive stuff. Then skin the whole bottom with UHMW.

I’m thinking 10’ and a super/turbocharged jet ski drivetrain. Should be way to much power and awesome.

Seems like most of the places that build hulls or sell kits are in the north west.

I found this place the other day that sells plans with dxf files to cut the panels out. I’ve got a big CNC router so I may end up going that route.

A buddy of mine has one. He uses it for hog hunting in the swamps in SC. Seems to work really well and can get in a lot of places that most boats wouldn't dream of.
 
I have already gathered my up a rxp215 hp motor/pump combo and also a 260hp set up. If I figure out how to get one from Idaho without shipping costing $2500 I will have one on the way
 
Just need this kit


Oh and a place to almost die in it, and a great accent for videos
