Cen Waveshark upgrade

I have had this sitting for ages. Came across a metal jet pump a couple of years ago, so that went on the shelf too.
I have a 9cc NGH gas engine for it, but I took it to a friend to tune better than I could, and he's not happy yet. Use electric for now.
As the pump was square/flat and the hull wasn't, I built it up and did my best to get it square/flat.
I built up the nozzle to meet the angle of the hull, and there is enough to adjust the trim angle.
Gave the body a good scrub and I am happy with the way it looks, ready for a test run.

Looks like a fun project. Once in the water a video will be nice for all see.

It’s been years since I messed with this type of RC nonetheless, as I recall my discharge nozzles would point slightly down and then we would shim the unit to get the angle that worked best for straight line speed versus more agile for darting around obstacles such as cones.

Very cool

Jet skis are faster with the nozzle pointing towards the surface.

As shared … speed versus maneuverability

It should be an exciting toy.
