Title: Hondo jet boat on Ebay
Post by: crewchief22 on September 18, 2007, 12:54:37 PM: If anyone is interested there is a listing for a 74 hondo jet boat with a bbc on Ebay.

I have not figured out how to do the link to the listing yet, but if you search for Hondo it'll come up

And by the pics that looks like a AMC motor.

My first jet was powered by amc too. I think it was a 360 ran really good.

But now I'm convinced that this boat needs to be purchased by someone that has a brain. How can you own a jet boat with an open engine bay and not have a clue whats in it?

Post by: crewchief22 on September 19, 2007, 12:59:42 PM: its not a SB Ford, oil filter/fuel pump are reversed and distributor is angled.

Could it be an Olds?

Post by: Marcsrollin on September 19, 2007, 01:46:08 PM: I went and looked at a boat one time and it had a AMC in it and it looked identical!

Post by: HDriderTH on September 19, 2007, 02:38:11 PM: I think a BBC would fit just fine, too bad about the pump and that "new paint" thing can go either way.....

I think we have a WINNER !! That sure looks like a 472/500ci Cady to me. I've never seen one in a boat before, but it's not a bad idea. HUGE torque and even though its the size of a BBC it only weighs about 50lbs more than a SBC, just keep it under 5000rpm or BAD things can happen !!
