Send this guy a message...
Haven't seen the Tufjets before... Look good but not cheap!
There is another poly one out there too
Marine and General Engineering here in Nelson build em how you want from Hull only to Trun Key and all points in between..
ive been researching this lately also, thought about doing it on the real cheap, using a dingy, change the bottom to thicker aluminium and wack a jet ski motor and jet unit into it, also thought about buying a complete jet boat but a older one as a donor boat and buying a fresh hull, but they want an arm and a leg for them
Hmm would my 3.8 Commy V6 and single stage unit fit in one of those .. I think not.. Bugger..
I reckon one of those Tuff Jets would be awesome round here .Hit the river then stop at Thames !!
Off course after several fuel and beer stops en route through the towns..
What were the Tuff jets 15k or so.. Ouch ..
These boats are without a doubt the best way to go, goat and his mates have them sorted, CRR900RR motors and jet ski pumps.
Get in touch with them for test rides and they will help you to the finished product, then the fun begins.
They are on a nz jetboat.com forum
Here is the build video

I really want a finished bare hull to bolt engine into and fit out.
10ft alloy hull would be about spot on

here you go mate, seen these guys quite often
Bit of both, M&G are making a few locally but there is also a place in ChCh
here, they make a nice hull
Those two boats in the video are off the same trailer, one above the other
A mate has one from here Attack Marine - Boat Builders New Zealand - Commercial Jet Boats - Race Boats - Sports Jet Boats
Here's his build. http://www.nzjetboating.com/yabbse/i...?topic=22225.0
Thanks guys
Have spoken to a couple of builders tonight
I spent a while on google and found nothing... These guys needed to invest in some search engine optimisation :)
Or give Shaun a call at Vantage marine, he's built plenty of small boats & he's up your way Vantage Marine
Talk to these guys

helping a mate build one at present, he bought the cut aluminuim and has had the hull welded by a local shop.
Fark the tig building a hull.
That's what migs are for!
shit yeah f@@k tiging mig is where its at
How is gods name do you build a hull for a boat using one of these
Attachment 15851
VC you are indeed a man with talent. On another note there were 3 mini jets parked outside Marine and General today in various states of completion
You've obviously never tied to seam weld 3mm alloy with a mig nicely
How about a flat pack and some beers for a perky @veitnamcam ? :)
Off to see Tui at M&G morrow hopefully
I dont really want to:oh noes: cant really perk after hours cos gotta get home so wife can go to work and weekends is kids or hunting.
step one, buy a cheap arse mig and a bottle of argon.
step two, buy a roll of 1.2mm alloy wire(might get away with 1.0 mm but will have to be real carefull to keep the lead fairly straight)
step three stick it together and practice on some scraps.
step four weld the bugger up.
I do 90% of our alloy mig welding with a cheap 180?amp single phase mig welder. got to be a wee bit carfull to keep the lead straightish not having a pull hand peice but its all good, only get the miller pulse pushmepullyou big clumsy prick of a thing out when I have to.
How about during work hrs?? :)
What's smoko worth for the next month ? :D
Surely someone in welly can weld?
Yeah .. I can to... It's just a time thing.
Finished boat is prob the best idea I think
Yep time,mans greatest enemy
I'll get ya some pics if you like when i go past M&G tomorrow.
