I have only seen these as outboards never as an i/o or jet. Is this a custom build?? Or do they offer them like this

Someone experimented with this Jet Combo back in the mid 90's. It had a 454 moderate HP and was a 80 mph Boat. I have the article from Hot Boat mag some where. If I recall, The boat did need some bottom work. But it got very good reviews.
My friend had one with a Merc 2.5 (nasty fast) it was.

Nice, looks like a photo shop experiment. That is definately not for anywhere with wakes. The water will roll right in the hull.

There are several of those around.
Garry Snow raced one for quite a few years. He still might have one for sale. It was very quick.
See if I can remember the video link.

I'd sink that thing in a minute on our lake.
Were they all cut like that for the headers?

All of the ones I have seen were cut that way. No room other wise. I don't think I would want to work on one of those. Talk about cramped quarters. :yuk:
