I don't really think you want one, very popular in the 70's I had access to one with a 430 cubic inch Oldsmobile, jet drive accelerates like crazy to 60 MPH, then stays there. Burns gas at about 2 miles to the gallon. The worst part is the same boat, same engine, with V-Drive propeller close to 100 MPH on the same amount of fuel.
