Twin craft boats here in the states is just finishing up the 32" x 15" 1/4 scale Jet Sprint Mold and hulls should be available very soon for a very reasonable cost....I handle the Swash drive Stainless Steel hydro jet pump. The hydro jet pumps run about $600 delivered. they put out close to 60 pounds of thrust and speeds near 45 mph. here is a link you can visit showing the pump and hull [link=http://groups.msn.com/JetSprintRC/rcjetsprint.msnw]JetSprintR/C link[/link]

THe hull you linked to at Swashdrive is the exact hull Twincraft is producing with Roll bars and driver figures are built in oregon. Just the nature of these unique jetsprint boats and there tight maneuverability means a low cost stock engine can yield tons of fun.

Do you still deal with Swashdrive?

Did these Twincraft jet hulls ever get produced?

Here are a few shots of one I did a few years ago. Swashdrive pump into a 47" Microburst V bottom mono.

First powered by a Zen 26, then onto a Quickdraw 25 ..... Really fun boat !!

Heah Dirtracer

I sent you an email regarding the sprint with pricing etc,
but your ISP bounced my email back saying reply denied because of abuse ????
I don't get abusive at all, so it must be all the spam floating through my ISP.
The only thing i can suggest is Change ur ISP or send me a PM
Kindest regards
Craig
