no, but if youre referring to this one on craigslist....that dudes had it listed for over a year....maybe longer... i would REALLY look at it carefully....theres gotta be a reason no ones bought it yet.

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/boa/546679142.html

he started listing it at like 12k....now its down to 7600

Some companies were very well know for there v-drives and offered jets just to round out the line-up. The jets usually being a splash of something else , like an eliminator , southwind , tahiti , ect. ect .

dimarco was one of those companies that was very well known for there v-drives , some of the best I think , I dont have a clue though as to the dimarcos jet heritage . Jim Brock raced one in the 1/4 and in circles successfully . Maybe he'll chime in on it .

In line with hat Beerjet just said, that hull looks exactly like my Hawaiian hull, which is a splash of Ralph's Hornet, seems to be a poplular style for 75-79 jets, but I could be wrong.

...which is a splash of a liberty....which is probably a splash from something else. There arent many 'OG' hulls. everyone just copied someone else.

Right on Skip . I was always led to believe that in the 70's there were only a handfull of builders that made the original molds and about 80% of the jets out there are splashes of those  . Mine's a splash of a beismeyer jet for instance.

The boat listed in the CL ad , the Dimarco boat is a splash of the Southwind, the boat Lucky Stiff has is a splash of the Hornet. The two have nothing in common.

The Hornet came before the Liberty, you got that backwards.

the dimarco is a splash of dominator jet boat , dimarco traded a boat for one of his, i helped him straighten the bottom and block out the rest of the boat, then he took a mold off of it, the boat on craigs list with the 396 in it , was a friends boat, iut had a ford in it went pretty good, he sold it and the new owner wanted a chevy, i think the ford was faster!! as far as i know the boat only needs a steering cable, Jim

Maybe it was a splash of a Dominator, regardless, it was still a Southwind splash. :)

And in todays market for 7600 it shouldn't need anything.  ::)

I have seen that boat in person, a buddy was interested, THAT THING IS BEAT!!  the bottom has bondo all over it,chipped up and cracked, it looks like he beached it on a boulder, the motor is rusted, and oil all over, it has white astro turf for carpet and there is cracks all over it, the thing is seriously hammered, when we  went to look at it and he was asking $11,000........NO BUENO !!
