Jet-propelled watercraft based on the classic design of H1 Unlimited hydroplane racers. Capable of ~130 MPH. Included airbrakes as well.

This is a preliminary draft to test the performance and get community feedback.
Current issues: Slight left yaw when at full throttle. Not severe, but still problematic. Design suggestions encouraged and appreciated :)

Remember to start in water only and steer with YAW controls.
