Hey all,
I have seen several Jet ski/jon boat rigs, but was wondering if anyone has ever put a Kawasaki Ultra 300x motor in one of these. I know that they are an expensive ski, but in comparison to a 200/140 outboard jet motor, the whole ski can be had for nearly half the price of one of those motors.
$9400 for a brand new Ultra 300x
A brand new Tracker Grizzly 2072 can be had for 4600.
These 300x's are pretty heavy at 1100lbs dry...
Now figure that leftovers of these boats can be had for 3600 or so, and a used 300x could be had for 7k or so, and you could build a rocket ship of a river boat for prob. 12-14k.
They also make several mods for these motors. I would think that a 70mph Jon boat would be possible... weeeee!!!
Am I off of my rocker in this thinking?
