Pocket size Jet Boat

[Castrol "R"]

New to this forum, I have visited many a forum and read with envy the performances and the fun of owning a high performance sports boat, I've never managed to take part on a forum as until now I didn't have a boat. But based in the UK there is not a vast market of high performance boats until i came across a UK built 2 seater winged jet boat, powered by 175hp Mercury Sportsjet, when I say pocket size it is only 14' long with a budget that suits my pocket. I still can't compete with the big block V8's but at least I can talk on a forum.
This is what she looks like, whats your opinion.

Straight out the box as a stock boat after about 3 gallons running in, the company promise 50mph+ ..... to date I've had 55mph on the GPS ( 2 people on board ) leaving the boat completely stock qualifys me to take part in the Viper British Championship (not sure whether I'm going to do that yet), I have read that a Viper owner has tuned the impeller and has made modifciations to the pump which he does not go into too much detail claims to be reaching almost 70mph (1 person on board), this claim has been supported by an independant magazine article.
Spec ..... 175hp Mercury 2.5 Ltr V6 (XR2 outboard powerhead)
stock sports jet Mercury Pump 1.25 ratio
7.25" 3 blade stainless steel progressive.
Not sure about the Lakelice comment, as lakelice owners won't even talk to me !!!!!
Looks like I'll have to work on the ugly image.
