Hello my name is RC, this is my first jet, although i was raised on jets. it is a 78 Sanger SuperJet with 460 ford and a berkley 12JG-A pump. I bought the boat from the original owner. it has been repainted once and is in need of some love. I have owned the boat for about a month and i have already rebuilt all the wood for the seats and re carpeted the interior. i have also glassed up the transom and changed the exhaust. after this season i plan on tearing the boat apart to rebuild the motor and have the pump gone trough. i plan on adding a stainless impeller droop snoot and place diverter. I am also going to remove the aluminum railin around the boat and mold it in, then have the boat re gell'd and i am going to lay some custom graphics out. i also plan on restoring the trailor to match. what do you guys think????

Welcome to the world of jet boats! You have a real nice ride there. To get you up on the latest lingo the aluminum " railin" is called a "rub rail" and when you mold in the joint between the hull and the deck it's called a "cap". Do a search on this site and you will find lots of help from experts and amatures alike on modifications that you plan to do. Have fun, be safe.

Looks very sweet the way it is! :thumbup: I'd leave the rail on, myself. Great lookin boat!

thanks for the compliment. as far as the lingo goes.... when i was writing the post i was suffering from a serious case of brain fart, lol and as far as "capping" (didnt know that one) goes i know how i am going to do it. i am no stranger to customization, i build high dollar custom cars and do custom frabication for a living. I personally wouldnt mind keeping the rub rail but the problem is i havent been able to find the right kind to relpace the one i have when i re gell the boat, plus the studs up under the bow are leaking when i wash the boat. my dad says im being parranoid but i dont like it one bit and i am planning on getting myself up under there with a tube of silicone asap.
ok maybe you can help me out, what is a gunnerwale(sp) ie seen it on a few threads but am not sure what it is...

in SoCal it will get run at Crapstaic(castaic lake) but it will predominantly be on the river, a very close friend of mine has a house not 5 minutes from the london bridge.

people will call it the gunwale, gunwhale, or gunnel, its the top sides of the boat. the rubrail shouldnt be in the water much, listen to your pops.

nice float :thumbup: welcome

So i finally got the boat together, and fired it up for the first time since i bought it. All in all im pretty happy with it so far.

Thank you for the compliment. The layout of the interior is absolutely stock, I used the old factory wood as paterns for the new wood and I had Robert at High Quality Upholstery in Canyon Country stitch up the seats, he is the only one I trust with my stuff.

Looks really nice. As for the rubrail, have you tried Rex Marine. They just picked up L&L's stock of rubrails and other stuff. Capping a hull sounds like a lot of work, but that thing would only look better and more custom capped.

Yes i have as far as i can find the factory "smooth" rub rail is obsolete. and yes i agree about the more custome look, especially since the word stock is not in my voabulary.lol
