bottom with inflatable pontoons and runs a 160-hp Kawasaki Jetski engine with a oneoff handbuilt jet pump I built with a friend of mine. It is very fast, very agile, very lightweight and while on the plane can run in as little as 70 mm of water. I think your readers might enjoy reading about it.

I built it over eight years (it sat idle in a New Zealand wool shed for five), so it was half-built in NZ and half here in SA. It can take up to six occupants and can still get two people on a tube on to the plane and zip them around.
