Hi Alec,
That is great news, I was thinking to use two 1 hp pumps.  I saw a video on 
youtube when the saucer sub came to the surface and shot water star up into 
the air.  The spray was not that impressive really.  From what I can see, 
the nozzles are choked down to about 3\4 of an inch maybe 1 inch.

Hi Hank,
 
It was a 2HP motor. My source is the book Saucer in the Sea by Terry 
Shannon, which has some photos you would probably find useful of the saucer 
with fairings removed.
 
 
Best,

Alec

  Hi All,
  Does anyone know what the size of motor was that drove the the jet  pumps
  in the  saucer sub.  They say it could do 2 knots.
