Can we call you Vern?

I'd rather see a hydro-jet replace the propeller, less parts hanging out in the breeze.

Vern is my boss.

Lots of people saying that... but the point of the build is they wanted it to be cost-effective. Adding a jet pump assembly would bring the cost up quite a bit. Target retail price ranges between $5-$7k, depending on options. I could see ways of making that cheaper by simplifying the drivetrain a bit, chopping the roof and/or making the fiberglass tub and body separate for easier assembly.
