So I took this to the guys on riverdaves place because they know both brands extremely well and it turns out hallet did in fact build a few boats that looked VERY similar to this thing in the 80's. So, this thing may be some type of rare/funky Hallet. But it's no Magic.

Its not a 34 Wizard?

A true 'jet' ski.
I think it's funny he fitted a sound system before thinking about a fuel pump and some electrics. It does look like a fun project albeit crazy but once completed, how will the $$$ stack up compared to owning a conventional boat for the money?

I would love to crank it up and get a crowd reaction to the afterburner.

Is that the one?
Doesn't look quite as crazy as our turbine mate on CL but it does look like a thoroughly professional build and an incredible ride.

I think a canal is the only place to run that thing. Sounds amazing though.
