    Jetjohn (jeski engine in a john boat) is the first thing that comes to mind. But then death by bridge piling and/or drowning comes to mind immediately after.

    Hmmmm...

    drop it into a legends car?

    or a metro for street legal fun, getting something to bolt up to it will ultimately prove interesting i'm sure

    Those things have some kind of a centrifugal clutch, right? Yeah, oversized go-kart, with real brakes. 500#, 185HP= muy fun and a short life!

    no clutch in the PWCs, direct drive to the jet pump impeller

    Are those engines self cooled? I know alot of marine stuff relies on said body of water to cool the engine, that may become an issue with fitment.

    Personally, I say attach it to a blender.

    That clip never gets old...boats with rollcages, that NEED them...'course that jetski motor would be a tad too small for this application. I say hide it in a Coleman cooler on the back of a sailboard and blow some minds.
