Can anyone help me with age and model of this unit, I am in Australia and there are not a lot of Berkeley units around.

there is a tag on the inside of the boat on top of the suction housing it is normally oval shape and has the identity of the pump...age coulb be hard to tell, but to me it appears to be a berkely jg just by looking at the split bowl in the back, but i have been wrong before just my observation....there are some people here with far more skill then me, and dont change that channel they will be with you shortly

By the way wecome

steering wheel is on the wrong side     lets name that boat for the new bud down under hows croc eater

     And the dizzy is at the wrong end also    and welcome

Just funnen pm tom at jet boat perfomance he will know the anser

LOL guys! And welcome!

I agree with Josh, given the year, probably a JG, although could be a JB or JA if a retrofit boat (Could very well be if Berks are as rare as you say there in the land of Roos and Wallabes).

Steering IS on the wrong side for us Yanks not running whackers, but I have looked at more than one jet here in the Southwest US with right side drive. In front of the clean-out hand hole cover should be the oval label Josh referred to. Wouldn't be unusual for it to be missing either, but it will tell you the model, original impeller, and serial number. Year would come from the serial, but unimportant, really. Yes, they are ALWAYS in the center (Unless sumpin REALLY screwy like the couple twin jets I've seen).  

I can't say much about the Dizzy any more though. I get to deal with it from both ends these days, so best to keep my mouth shut! They feel the same to me. (No, that is NOT a siggy line, but it DOES read like one, now that I re read it, LOL! I guess feel free! Teach me to come home and drink 2 beers in succession before posting!).

I am interested in just HOW those exhausts are hooked up and how they work THAT low on the transom. Never seen that before on a Jet Boat. More pics! More Pics! Looks like a VERY interesting Dingy you got there mate! I think we're all gonna be interested in seeing what you do with this thing if you buy it! (And YES! wanna see wildlife and scenery!)

PS, also either appears trailer either does NOT fit the boat, or the boat is nowhere near forward enough on it. This will cause some hook in the bottom over long periods. Just food for thought

You see a trailer?  I thought it was levitating  

So did I at first!  But those ratchet straps appear to be hooked to something. Maybe to anchors in the ground to keep it in the drive?

Guess the gravity might be a bit different down under? Boy would WE have fun launching and trailering!

yeah i was looking at the steering deal and came up with the idea that it may be some kind of quick steering deal it is definately interesting...the pump appears of berk split bowl nature and hold strong on the berk 12jg pump, but it is down under so who knows....

Definately interesting to find out more about this boat. The more I look at it, the more intrigued I get. Very low location for the O/B dump, apparently must be a bow fuel tank (Don't appear to be in the gunnels), As Nordie noticed, why's the steering cable coming out of the transom and not the transom adaptor (Which looks to have a location for it), looks like a set back style installed pump with a transom adaptor I've never seen, and if the pumps set back, whys the engine so far forward?

I have more questions, beleive me, than answers, but that's a start 

Oh, just thought of this, since the vortex of your bathtub drain goes backwards from how it does here in the Northern Hemisphere, does that not mean a reverse rotation engine and pump is required???
(might explain the levitating boat theory........) lol.

And the exhaust, you notice how low it is

who the hell knows Josh, but I want to see it as well....curiosity....but maybe we scared him away

LOL Ray

Looks like a 70's/90's Berk 12jc ,great pump lots of "spares" (I down loaded and enlarged to the "blur" point ) , a "clandestine" transom adaptor and some interesting rigging on the cables Welcome ! You Folks "down under are some of the Best , and IMO the most like the US ! Always enjoy talking and cooresponding with our Aussie customers ! Recently had "Rob" from Austrailia stop in at JBP (this summer) to pick  up a Place Diverter and some other parts While visiting the states ! Rob if your "lurking" Hello ! Tom
