1979 California Performance Jet Boat #1,

470 cu. inch bbc
gm forged steel crank std
gm 7/16 rods std
12.9 to 1 compression
solid roller comp cams 670/295 int 670/305 exh with 110 lsa
990 heads with some bowl work
Holley strip dominator t-ram with 2 750's by C&J
motor just rebuilt from Team -C high performance

Berkely pump with Stainless impellor
back cut shoe
hydraulic place diverter with adjustable travel limits
double drilled droop and bowl

new wheel bearings on trailer
new 205 60 13 tires on trailer
new led lights on railer

Own a piece of history, the 1st boat out of the 18' mold, SER # PJB801010179
original gel coat and seats
needs carpet or remove

I traded my DiMarco runner for this in October, had the motor re-built , changed cam and springs, installed motor and took to Parker last weekend
and ran an 8.03 @ 97.06 right off the trailer, we had a best mph of 100.31. While at the races it was brought to our attention that this boat was the 1st
boat out of the mold and to check the serial #'s. We checked the #'s and I called Greg Shoemaker to confirm. This boat is light and set up to run. Simple
set up with no timers etc., still looks like a river boat but runs the #! Turn key $16,000 or with out motor $11,000 Boat is located in Upland Ca.

go get you one of these, until last weekend we had never raced this boat(driver had never raced a boat before) took it to Parker and brought home one of these,
we adjusted the valves once and put a new set of spark plugs in it Saturday morning! ran 8.0's all weekend

Very nice set up! I have a early 18 as well registered as a 78 PJB00604578 I've been wanting to get some history on as well. Suppose to be around a 420lb lay up. One thing I can say is it sure doesn't take a lot of power to make the early 18s run. My boat on motor runs 98 and on nos 118 via autometer gps and I'm still a lil under 1000hp with my nitrous tune. I really didn't mean to thread jack but just looking for info. Good luck sale. Defiantly worth the money 👍🏻👍🏻

Gimme that BECKY!

I was surprised also how fast this boat went with this motor package, it ran 91mph in my 18' Advantage on gps
these times were 1000', might be taking it to Ming in March to see what it does 1/4 mile
I would guess 10.0 with probably 103-105 mph
this would make a perfect river rocket for somebody

So it was #1. Boat looked good and for being all original is in real good shape. My boat maybe pushes 600 horsepower and I had a hell of a time slowing it down all weekend. Gullwings are a bad ass boat. Nice talking to Ya on the rope

Thanks for the heads up about the ser.# It was my buddy that was driving that you were talking to. I do the wrenching and paying for it part and he gets to drive.
What round did you make it to on Sunday?

here is an post from PB on some history of the PJB's. I was wondering how mine could be #1 out of the mold when there are older ones than mine. It seems Mine was the 1st out of the Scotten/Shoemaker
mold after they acquired it and did what they did to it.

Sold! I have to say the California Performance following is impressive! If I didn't have 2 other boats this would have been a fun boat to keep!
It's a runner! It will be around the blythe area, might want to think twice before pairing up with it! Be safe- Steve
