MINI-JET offers you something old and something new in the way of boat-building projects.
This racy-looking, 11-ft., two-passenger fun boat is a modified version of Glen L Marine's TNT Model and is constructed the standard way with plywood over precut frames supplied in kit form by the company. So much for the old.
The new is the power package, a model 8MJ Jacuzzi water-pump jet powered by a 23-hp Kohler air-cooled engine. Only minor modifications had to be made to accommodate this power package in place of an outboard and the result is an exciting little craft that will do 27 mph (with one person aboard).
A real boon to home builders is the availability of this entire mechanical package engine, coupling, mounting bracket and steerable and reversible jet unit-from the Jacuzzi Co. for a price of $554. Optional items include a muffler system, electric start and steering wheel setup. The Jacuzzi Co., a leading manufacturer of water pumps of all sizes-from large jet units used in Army swamp boats in Vietnam to those employed in its well-known whirlpool baths has labeled this new power package the K399-8MJ. All inquiries should be addressed to Mr. George Regula, Jacuzzi Brothers, Inc., 11511 New Benton Highway, Little Rock, Ark.
