I have 4 kids. How many does that seat? What are you asking and where is it located? Sent from my iPhone using SoCal Jet Boats
Hey all. This will be my first boat. I have a few local boats in mind but I have a lot of questions. I'm in Acton ca so I will be going to any local lakes, the river, anyplace I can go really! The answers to my questions will help direct me on a good purchase. Any help will be appreciated! First question, over transom exhaust or through transom. I understand insurance is different? 2nd covered or uncovered engine, again... Insurance based. 3rd sound laws. If I have an over transom exhaust am I more at risk for being "too loud"? What's the deal with loud exhaust? Are people getting warnings and tickets or what. Should I look for a quiet boat? 4th boat safety, is there a so cal course available? Do I need any license for havasu, or any of the local hot spots? A little about me. I'm leaning towards the over transom exhaust with a big uncovered engine. I'm a bit of a gear head and I love the look. I just don't want to buy something then find out I can't take it to such and such lake or river because it's "too loud" or something. Again, any direction you guys can give me I will appreciate. Thanks in advance. Btw, I'm looking for something in the $3000-$6000 range if ya have something for sale in the los Angeles area.

My wife and I together have 6 kids, her2 my 3 and our 1, here's a pic of what I've got, and honestly we make it work. If anything I'll make a second trip to go pick up the three oldest, I kinda like it because I get a solo run lol. Open headers don't bother them either👍🏼👍🏼Also that white boat with the red,white,and black new interior is my buddy's, that's a pretty solid lil boat. Good luck with your search👍🏼🍻Sent from my iPhone using SoCal Jet Boats
Just spit on it and shove it in.
So I got a boat. I paid $1800 for it. It's a 18 foot Andrews with a 455 and a berkley jet. I haven't really dug into it much because quite honestly.... I don't really know what I'm looking for. It has a broken cam so it needs a rebuild. Sent from my iPhone using SoCal Jet Boats
How do you know it has a broken cam?Yes I've seen 'em, but its kinda rare this happens.For a flat cam (lobe or few), it needs to come apart, and everything cleaned, re-cleaned, and then cleaned again.Inspection of parts is very important. If/when everything checks out, and the rest of the parts are good to go, re-assemble using the "Practical Olds" as a bible.If the cam is indeed 2 pieces, re-cam it and run the sh!t out of it. (after careful cleaning, of course.)Just my $0.02Dan'l
