I built this river runner from flat plate right to the mini jet rocket you see today. It took 2 years and I had a lot of help along the way I can’t explain the feeling I get knowing it was all worth it. There was a lot of up’s and downs, and a lot of kinks I had to work out but wow was it worth it! 

couple things I’d like to do now are adding trim tabs to prevent porpoising and more storage.

Thank you so much to everyone who has helped, given me advice and more then anything my wife believing I could do it and letting me spend endless nights in the shop.
