Jet Boat Design and Operation Considerations

Information and concepts to aid the successful application and operation of UltraJet propulsion systems.

Jet Boat Design Considerations
This PDF document provides a systemic approach for successful application of marine waterjet propulsion. Similar to other propulsion methods, a successful waterjet-propelled boat requires the harmonious operation of four elements: Mission, Hull, Power Source, Propulsor (waterjet). This document explores design and operation considerations for each element based on our experience, the experience of various boat builders and jet manufacturers, various technical papers, and other sources.
