<DIV><FONT size=3>Cliff,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Since you are replacing the jet drive with a pair of fixed
101's, what are you doing to achieve low/high speed maneuverability? Did I
misunderstand about your main thrusters being fixed? Are you incorporating
rudders, dive planes, additional maneuvering motors?</FONT></DIV>

system by going to fixed thrusters with Kort nozzles and Minn
Kota motors. While I do drop the boat speed dramatically, I get a simple
propulsion and maneuvering system that is quite and easy to maintain. In a
few months, I will let you know if I was
successful.</EM><o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
