There is a 21’ fishing boat in Ricksteinstow (Padstow as it used to be known) running a jet, I couldn’t see the brand but it looked like a Hamilton jet, he will probably be experiencing the same conditions as you do. Might be worth a look see Des

The boat is in the inner harbour keep clear of Rick Steins fish and chip shop cos once you’ve eaten them you will want nothing else and you will wake in the middle of the night up dreaming about them Des

[QUOTE=hannah] hw big is jet rib?

As for a the 4metre i dont think you would have the room for engine and jet, you would be lookin at one of those jetski jets or similar

While your picking up Bogi, would it be too much out of the way to skirt around Greenland, down Hudson Bay, up the Nelson River, Lake Winnipeg & the Red River into Winnipeg?

It's amazing what you can fit in a four metre. This one has an 8.3 litre lump running on methanol and pushing out over 1000hp through a jet. No need to go to OZ either. This was Southport in 2003.

No problem with me I am up for this, could meet some relatives in Gimli while you pop on board............................. no problem there are few yards to pubs from the harbour here in Reykjavik and I am sure similar in Greenland while refueling and same in Canada................
