Watching TV Kids program today. Some bod has invented a proper jet engine for model planes. They tried it out by attatching it to a skate board with a bloke on it. It went like hell and made a hell of a racket. Now scale it up a bit and add one on each side of fly bridge and zoooooooom. No more trouble with outdrives or ropes round props.

There's a boat local to here that has a Perkins 6 cylinder diesel with a jet drive fitted , the boat is all aluminium basically built to go fast .
There were trying to sell it a couple of years ago but it's still by the old green house collecting moss .

Yes I know that. But they were more like fireworks than engines.

um uum let me think cant be more than 30 ft but if memory serves me right around 26ft .
When they advertised it they were asking £1000 yes daft but the engine is supposed to be mint and the fella said it went like stink out on the wash . All ali and narrow in the beam with a sheltered driving position .
Its situated off a lane called Drainside north which is next to Parkside Landrovers just out side of Kirton.
T/L by dealers follow lane just after the bend on the left you'l see it by the side of a wooden green house.
Cheers

It's a concept by Dodge that they are considering putting into production. It's got a V10, 8.3 litre lump from the Dodge Viper, top speed of 400 mph, and 0-60 of just over 2 seconds! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
