      thomas hewitt I know you have probably mentioned it.. but how much would the total project cost for a consumer ever piece. Roughly?

      I think you could get it done for 10 grand but that depends a lot on where and how you acquire the drive train.

Wonder if this could be made in a 14 foot length for my fat American backside and what the cost would be to get one to the USA. I think this would go over well here and have a great demand especially with a nice stainless roll bar behind the driver 's head. send mean email when you have time.

      Price range (completed) can run from $8k US to $15k US. Prices will all depend on your "vision" & if you will DIY or have someone do it for you. I can see one getting this done for less than $4k US IF you have the know-how, tools & access to used PWC jet engines & parts. Here's a link to the Canadian seller.www.minijetboatbuilder.com/about/
