I know of a fair few female engineers Dougie....even back when I was doing my trade 25y ago they were far from uncommon tho mostly they seem attracted to machining and cnc type work away from the burns and heavy lifting.

Is there any rotary engine powered jet boat?
If you'd like to top up my bank account for a four stroke jet ski motor then fill your boots!
Previous boat had a Rover V8 in it that was a heap.. swapped it out for a holden V6 and I swear it was louder than the two stroke in this boat!
Ear muffs do not bother me in the slightest. I wear them a lot at work...might as well be wearing them and doing something fun.
It's the vibration that is the not so good thing about the two stroke. I bought (trade) these epic washers for the engine mounts at $12 each!!!!!! They do no undo though. Unlike every other bolt I am now finding out [emoji51]

P.S.is yours similar to Smiddys and Kiwi Bushmans liked theres ,just on a wishlist but running out of years :D
Maybe your impeller needs balancing?
I was looking at a similar length boat to your today, it had a wee KodiaK V8 shoe horned into it. It was very well done but not a home build.
I always wanted a jet boat but not much use in the sea unfortunately have to make do with taking dads for a spin occasionally when I visit
I think you are right. Back in the 40's women were doing everything. My mother was a strong swimmer and took on the men's open events and won those because there was not enough competition in the women's events. Her father died when she was about 10 leaving her mother to bring up the three kids on her own with little welfare. There was my mothers role model.
Impressed with the build. :thumbsup:
