Hey what's up fellas! So my family and I are getting back in the boating game! After selling our last jet boat (76 Miller open bow) we introduced a little girl into our lives, now that two years have passed its time to get back into it and let out little girl get some excitement out on the water in our new float.
I've have been looking for a good month for a jet boat and they say, "good things happen to those that are patient"... I hate when my wife says that to me, but I tell ya, shit is true, because I came up with (what I think) is a killer deal. I came across a 1979 FRESNO mini day cruiser that was in great condition. The guy only had it up for about two hours before I called, I was the first one to call and hop on the deal. The boat looks to have pretty low hours and kept in great condition for its year, the motor was gone through, just to name a few, new distributor, plugs, wires, carb, fuel pump and fresh oil. The pump looks to be pretty fresh too, with a newer bowl and suction housing and also included was a Bimini top, storing cover three brand new life jackets, docking rope, two new bumpers, and all safety equipment! So I gave the guy his asking price at $5k I thought that was a damn good price for this particular boat and for everything that came with it. I brought I home and started to do what I wanted to do to it. As of now I ripped out all the interior, ripped out all of the carpet, built new seat bases, cleaned and conditioned all of the interior pieces (oxy clean and mr clean magic erasers work WONDERS btw they look new) took the diverter apart and removed all of the external hardwear and emblems for a fine detail.
I just finish ordering all of the little things that I need to complete this light build of mine and can't wait to get her out on the water. Soon I'll get some recent photos of the boat and the interior, here is a few from the day I brought it home...

What a "outrageous" find. In my humble opinion, the best looking mini Day Cruiser EVER made. I'm kind of biased. I live in a small town just outside of Fresno. Always admired their stylized design. Be sure to keep us posted. Beautiful boat dude!!.

Thank you! Yes I will keep an update.

Clean cruiser! I like! 👍

Looks really nice! Only thing I would do different with your pressure relief and valves, maybe build a stringer mount bracket so it's not rigid mounted with all the weight hanging on the pump. I had a similar set-up, the brass pipe nipple cracked and just about put my boat at the bottom of the river.

Good call! Ok yeah I'll look into doing that. I don't want to be pulling my shit from the bottom of the lake. Thanks for the heads up.

That bracket is sweet. Think about Stringer washers under the head of those mounting bolts. Just thinking. Have you had it wet yet.?

Have you had it wet yet.?

No I plan on getting it in the water in a few weeks. Still waiting on a few back ordered parts and my carpet. I'm itchin to get'er out though. I'm gunna have a pocket full of cash and a very heavy foot that day.

That non-skid is a pain in the ass to clean and that one looks like it came out great.

Bitchin boat!

I have a vintage Motorola tack , black-faced , Chrome bezel if you'd be interested. It might look better in your dashboard then that black one you have now. I'm not sure how attached you are to that black one though. I believe its 3 5/8.

Your boat looks sorta smiler to the one I found. Mine's an 83 Targa with built in swim step, pretty much the same dash layout and similar lines. Your's is clean as hell, sweet looking float dude!🤘🏻

Tach's in the shop someplace. I'll take it out and send you a picture tomorrow.
If you ever get tired of that boat and want to get rid of it, I'm Your Man.
 FYI: Fresno boats still building boats. Mostly high-dollar Upper Crust sophisticated ski boats. For 💵 they will build you an exact replica of yourz. I will get their number for you.

That's it. 3 11/16 across the face , hard to get a measurement across the back.
Fresno boats number 559 - 284 - 8540. Lenny Weekes is the owner's name ,I think. If he wants to talk to you, reserve 30 minutes , if he doesn't want to talk, he'll tell you to go to hell. Hahahaha. Good luck!

Not attached at all. Haha yeah this one I got looks janky. It works but it would be cool to get something that looks a bit better than this one. How much would you let yours go shipped to Livermore ca? Does it have a light?
