Hello SCJB members. I just picked up a 1977 21' manta ray day cruiser.
Don't know much about it. This is my 4th boat ive owned, but my first jet.
I attached a picture. Right off hand I know the fuel guage and tach don't work.
Going to take it out this weekend for a test run.
Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated

If u have never drivin a jet boat take someone with u that has the first time is a learning lesson. Be safe and happy boating also welcome to the family.

Thank you Chad I will consider your suggestion.

Update
I officially named her "Bad Fish"
I took her out to Silverwood today and runs flawless.
New fuel gauge installed works good
New tach is in the mail
Here is a picture on the water

Holy sh*t! I bet if you looked on here you'll find me asking about Manta Ray jet boats! I've got a 77 20ft Manta Ray BBF460 cobra super jet! I've only been able to find a couple online but never found anyone else who has one...Finally a fellow owner. They are rare boats and I've found just about all the info you could except how others liked or felt about they're float! I love mine, she rides great and seems to be a well built ride!

Hi, Someone gave me this exact boat. He said it was a Tahiti. But after some investigating it is a manta ray. How many feet long is your boat? I need to buy a cover for it. The desert sun and this heat wave is going to rot everything.
