jet ski set up works very well - 
Pro-vu (ex toshiba, F40 tri) had one fitted, you could pick up the 50Hp complete unit one handed - mind you it screamed like a mad chainsaw and threw a big jet of water behind.
they had problems sorting the reverse and dropped the idea. but i understand it was dropped without actaully sorting the stopping/reveses thrust problem, which accoring to the guy who fitted the whole set-up should not have been unsurmountable
 
the jet ski appaently pushed the boat happly over 10 knots. There are probaly soem Brits on the list who know a whole lot more about it than I
