Wow, sounds great. Love those jet drives.

Your water looks almost as rough as mine.

Few things in the world measure up to the thrill and satisfaction of boating in a boat that you built.

I hope these pics help

Great job, Where have you been hiding her, seems to be a lot of under cover boats popping up.

I missed this too... and just posted a question about the 500 Yamaha engine and drive last week!

What kind of speeds do you get with this craft?

Any suggestions on mating the Yamaha running gear to the Squirt plans???

what length is this? the lines are amazing. It looks longer than 11 feet
great looking boat

Thanks all !! @ Dcrummett ...Yeah the 500cc yamaha engine and pump push the squirt right along very smoothly!! I made the boat 12 feet to to fit in the engine and pump with some room for gas tank and such......as for matting the gear in the boat I "if you still have the jetski hull" cut the bottom out of it and fiberglassed it in the hull of the squirt ...but finding out later that the pump doesnt stick out on the 89 wavejammer as far as most newer ones so had to add weight in the stern so the boat would pump water when first starting off..but will all that aside i face a new challenge...now i have a a 700cc polaris motor 95hp that im hoping will mount up to the yamaha pump with a few modifications.it may not be a big enough pump but dont want to scrap the old one and do it over ....So if anyone else reads this ...any suggestions?? ........This things going to fly going from 32 hp to 95hp damn i hope it works!!!!!!!!
Oh and the other problem is the damn racing chainsaw muffler on these things hahaha whats up with that ? lol looks like the squirt will have a single seat ...just me and a six pack
