Whats up SCJB,

Names Justin and I have been trolling these forums now for a couple of weeks and figured I should join in on the fun. I have been around jet boats since I was a baby and just recently bought a 1982 Eliminator. I took it to Pyramid to see if it ran/floats, it does one really well. The HID is not on the right rear (maybe painted over but not sure) but it is on the registration. I called Eliminator and the lady said it was a 1982 Eliminator Formula?? I spoke with Jim Brock and he seemed to think it was a Spectra mold after me describing the hull. I bought the boat in Long Beach for $2800. Maybe some of you know some history on this boat? It came with a dual axle trailer, 350 engine, with an old Berkeley jet. I would love to post some pics but they are over the size restriction. Does anyone know how to shrink a pic? Mine are currently 1.4 mb and need to get them down to 700k.

Glad to be here,
Justin

Welcome. Nice boat, lots of colors  ;D 

I use Adobe photoshop to shrink the pics I post up here. I'm not the guy to get computer help from. But if you like you can email your pics to me and I'll shrink them down for you, thanx@cox.net is my email address.

its really easy, just open them in mspaint and hit ctrl+w and put in the dialoge box the percentage you want to shrink it....(i do mine 50%)...then save them.


and welcome btw!

Thank you all
Ralph- I dont technically know Jim, as a matter of fact I got his number from a post here at SCJB and just hit em up to pick his brain. Real good guy!
2Sav- My boat is ruff, I just took a good pic of it. I will take Brads advice and shrink more pics to upload them to the site and you'll see.
