Not a jet but this is the one i most remember and loved riding in as a youngster(the rear facing seats were pretty sketchy tho hahaha) my older bro and pops built this one in our garage mid 90s.

A lot of variety. Very cool. Did he hate the cruiser because it was too slow?

Thanks!Slow yeah and he already didnt like the first omega he had for the poor ride quality, this one was the same tho no matter what adjustments or mods made. Plus i remember the boat not being that old at the time and everything was kinda cheap and falling apart.

Uncle had an Omega day cruiser. Had rot in the fiberglass around the outdrive, I think. He said they glassed in peg board.
Definitely a reason why some things cost more even though they look similar.

Yup sounds about right floor was probably weak too, a year later i think my baby bro or neighbor kid burned it half way down in the driveway sticking pennies in the cig lighter haahhaha. Hell yeah you can say that again, thats why his next whip was a Donzi classic 22.
