We've been into this, if you're going to do jet power ask the big boys!

Problem is work keeps a good track of them at work.

Guys,

If you're interested in turbines, would strongly suggest you have a look at http://www.gas-turbines.com/squirt_2.htm#videos and look at the "on the grand" vid.

It's an outfit called Nye Thermodynamics who built a boat - with a 1400 hp turbines. Think engine only weighs about 140 lbs.
