Anyone know how to figure the thrust from a 2,000 psi bottle of Carbon Dioxide?
What about the nozzle size?
Where would the best location for the nozzles be on the transom?
Or would it be better to mount them to the mid secton?

Might want to mount them on the outside edge of the transom on your first test launch (so when the bottle blasts away it might clear the boat and driver). How about a JATO system like the Blue Angels use on Fat Albert?!
