    I'm lookin to upgrade my jet on my southwind tunnel dragster.
    Does anybody know what kind of performance I can expect
    from a jet drive like this one

    Also, would you prefer a manual or hydraulic place diverter

    I don't think any water would be left in Big River if I fired it up. Suck that place dry
    And to answer your question....
    No doubt I would be king

    I just finished a show called "Man Made" and it was about a tunnel boat ferrie, it was equiped with four of these type of jets and four 20 cyl power plants making 40,000 HP the tunnel ended up running just over 40knots!
    It was a pretty sick show!
    I think it was the discovery channel tonight 8-9pm

    I love the boat. It rides awesome, I couldnt be happier with a boat I knew nothing about to begin with. I thought it would be trickier to get used to but I couldn't be more comfortable. Now the fine tuning begins. Keep your phone on, I'm goin to be callin ya and gettin your opinions on some set up ideas next week. I plan on making a solo run up there next weekend and could use your input.
    and yes a little more hp for this jet wouldn't hurt

    Not to mention dependable. They held it at 40 knots for 4 hours, then plan to do that daily.
    40,000 hp wide open all day and dependable:idea:
    I need to rethink my current setup
