Hey Guys, been following a bunch of Jet Jon builds and decided to add one more to this growing community. I started this build 3 weeks ago and I am pretty much finished besides a few little details. I have taken it out 4 times now and it runs great. I found a 95 yamaha wave raider 701 80hp as my donor ski. Everything went real smooth. I was surprised as to how easy this build was. I thoroughly enjoyed the build and I am enjoying the use of it even more. I am posting the build picks and a youtube video, hope you guys enjoy.

It does fly, the best so far is 45, I have the trimable nozzle and with it trimmed up it really gets on the rear pad and flies. It cruises at an easy 30 all day long.
 
Like I said before, there is still a few small details to finish up but for the most part she is done..

Here is a short Youtube video of it running..
 
Looks great!

Wow, 3 weeks, has to be a record build time.

I spent all last winter building mine . . .

45 MPH must be quite a rush.
 
That's like a 80 hp jet pirogue with how narrow it is haha. 45 mph is crazy imagine the looks you will get passing boats at that speed.
 
Yeah, I have gotten some crazy looks at the river already. Also it makes for interesting conversations at the boat ramp and gas pump. I will admit that when I hit 45 I was going down stream, I could only get 42/43 going upstream but that is still moving. Believe it or not, its very stable and feels very comfortable. It is a blast, but the best is the fast cruise. I had a 240lb buddy of mine in the front and I'm 185 and it would only pull 38. It is very sensitive to weight.
 
I'll bet your one of very few people that have gone that fast in a 1432 Jon boat on the water.
 
I decided to add some tunes in the boat. I took it out for a little stroll on the Flint this past weekend, here are a few pics.

Well done. Nice looking build.

In addition, I'm pretty sure you should win some kind of prize for multi-tasking for that portion of the video when you are running the boat and flying the drone with the camera at the same time!
