Default Jet Outboard / Conversion ?

I think San Leandro Manufacturing makes all the jet legs. You can buy used
legs at times. Check Western Outdoor News classifieds, etc. Was one a
couple of months ago, for 80 hp I think, $1000.

I recently picked up a Waco 2050-16

Yes I bought it with the options that upgrade to 50HP rating.

I have a 50HP Force that I bought for another project. Don't know if it

is
any good. I bought it cheap and it has sat in my shop for almost a year
still in the crate.

Anyway, if the Force doesn't check out I was thinking of looking for a

jet.
I see Mercury has a 40HP outboard jet.

That might be able to push it ok, but after I get the boat fully rigged I
would sure like to have a little extra margin. Also, since jets are less
efficient than prop drives I'm not sure I want to take that big of a
backward step.

Does anybody know of a current 50HP jet? How about a conversion for

another
popular outboard. Better yet, if my Force checks out, how about a
conversion for it?
