Appreciate that! That's a good find. I need to expand my search. I'm trying to be lazy and not have to drive too far. But all the gems are worth the drive

I'm by Joshua tree it would need quite a bit of work. But it yours if you want it

Could you post up a couple pictures?

Look at what you will have to do to the splashwell.... That will tell you what you need to know.

You can find someone with a drill fixture for the pump and the holes are not a really big deal. You will need to change the rear of the deck to finish off the transom. You will need to reconfigure the interior, or eliminate the rear seat all together.

The trailer will need to be adjusted for the added transom weight, otherwise it will be too tongue light to tow.

None of the original electrical system will work, it will need to be completely rewired.

You will need all controls replaced, including the steering cable (too short) and foot throttle.

Is it worth dong? Not to me.... If you have a vested interest in this hull, then yes, maybe it is worth it to retain the sentimental value.

Just keep in mind, you will have a seventies jet boat and you will not have any sweat equity available to fall back on. It will be a $3500 boat if the conversion comes out right.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, just trying to inform you of the huge endeavor you are about to embark on can get overwhelming very fast.

I knew it wasn't going to be easy. As far as the hull goes, there is nothing left in it except carpet. All wiring is gone. Gauges are out. I have steering and throttle cables from the boat I got the engine and pump out of. I didn't tgink about the trailer so I appreciate that. And as far as the transom goes, I feel that is going to be what separates whether I do this or not. I didnt really want to mess with the deck

I took the best pics I could with it still on the trailer.

I have a 78 Tahiti tiger bubble deck outboard with a merc 175. Oil injection decided to stop working and i seized the motor up pretty good. The cost for me to rebuild the motor or buy a new one is outrageous. So my question is, and I hope someone has the answer. Is the 18ft tiger bubble jet the same hull as the outboard? Could I convert my outboard to a jet? I have a pump and motor in my garage out of another boat that my dad graciously provided for me, but before I cut and grind, any info on this would be helpful.
