SWORD MARINE DIESEL JETDRIVE SETUP-ANYONE SEEN THIS???

WOW, this looks really cool, the 200hp diesel jet goes for $25K and bolts to the transom like a outboard bracket. A pair of these on a monohull or cat would be pretty cool for a 28ftr.

That is too cool. If they are the fuel efficient easy to retrofit drive system they claim to be they should sell like hotcakes, particularly in diesel. Will have to contact them this week for some objective data and specifics at to which manufacturers engines they are using warranty etc.

Thanks Marty

Hello Marty, Cool concept I think it needs to lighten up a bit 933lbs. Honda 225 around 600lbs.

Have a great hunt in Montana watch out for those spring storms. Had the top of a pop up tent trailer blown right off one night. Though my mistake for putting it up in the wrong place. Live and learn.

Longranger I'm going to call you. My Humble appologies for being a flake. Wrote your number down it ended up in Jettywolfs hands.
