I 100% agree with this, Tom will help you out no matter what your doing, Do it yourself and buy a rebuild kit and parts from them or have them do the complete rebuild and they will help you and answer ANY questions you may have, GREAT people to deal with, I live in Pennsylvania and Tom and his family has helped me and treated me like a next door neighbor long time friend of the family to the point that I now consider him a family friend and I never even seen or met him. I won't even think about dealing with anyone else about jet boat parts before calling Tom.

The long ones are just 2x4's but the short cross section middle pieces where just a tad to tall in the center for 2x6 so I had to cut 2x8's way down to size so I could epoxy all edges to the bottom of the boat and top edge to the plywood floor with no gap in the center bottom where there would of been a very slight gap if I used 2x6's, ALL this wood is bigger then what was there stock but since it was coming apart due to rot and stress and I knew I was more then doubling the horse power I beefed up everything...

I need to do stringers and floor on my Baja as well. What did you use for wood for the stringers. My Baja is a 190ES that has a siezed v-6 mercrusier in it. I am going to put a small block in it though. I hate working with anything to do with wood. Give me steel, aluminum or stainless any day.
Pic of the boat.


I was told by people on this board to use untreated kiln dried fir so thats what I used, I did get furniture grade from a specialty wood supply store. It seemed to really take the West Marine epoxy well and also round and sand the edges that helps the strength and deters cracking and splitting.

Tom and Josh are fixing me up by rebuilding my pump and it's looking GREAT!!  :thumbup:  SS impeller & Inducer, 17-4 Race shaft, Dominator Hi-Flow split bowl,"E"- Loader, Blue Print and a power diverter to come later should help me up and out.  ;D  They even painted it for me to match the engine block. Got my bottom paint yesterday and I'll be spraying it as soon as it warms up, Temps in the teens here again tonight can't wait for the warm up starting tomorrow. THANKS TOM and JOSH from Jet Boat Performance you guy's Rock.  :thumbup:  :thumbup: .. Roy

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: freeze plug
« on: February 25, 2011, 04:54:45 AM »
When you do that pressure test after replacing the popped plugs keep pressure on for at least 20 minutes or so for a good check and then start your engine and run for awhile and then check oil for milkshake, I have seen blocks and/or heads with very small cracks that don't leak very much if at all till things warm up by running, I hate to say it but if you had such freezing to push out a couple freeze plugs expect cracks. Here in Pa we get many boats with problems from freezing every spring and sometimes they don't show up till after running for awhile.. Roy

Removing that dizzy would not be a bad idea when lifting that way also because that outer aluminum casing/housing on them crack easy if a slip occurs.

« on: February 11, 2011, 01:59:28 AM »
All my childhood I wanted a big bad german shepherd and call it "Billy Jack" as in a famous martial arts movie dude from the 70's and when I moved out of the city with the ol'lady (Young lady at that time) I finally bought one and named him Billy Jack, well within a week she renamed him "Pookey Bear" and it was her dog till we had to put him down 15 years later, Great dogs they are, someone even look at Her wrong that thing would stand in front of her and get all kinds of nasty protecting her, Me? Not so much..  Roy.

Thats Great, They make wonderful pets, I found a "Blue Tick Beagle" last summer up the river, Covered with flea's and almost starved to death, was skin and bones, was eating bugs it was so hungry, Well long story shortened, It's snoring in my bed as I type this, about 10 pounds heavier and growing and the best rabbit dog I and all my friends ever seen, (Her howl is funny also, sounds like she's being tortured to death) I don't shoot the bunnies but she forces  me to take her out and chase them at least every other evening before dark by looking out the window and howls looking at the rabbit fields. Her name is "Rivey" short for river dog. One of the best dogs I ever had.  Roy

Boats For Sale / Re: 18ft Nordic for sale must see to appreciate
« on: January 28, 2011, 07:24:33 AM »
I'm on the East Coast and Jet Boats like that are WAY more expensive here do to the fact that most where made on the West Coast and need to be shipped a couple thousand miles and This boat is still way over priced for here, You might get 5 grand with a lot of advertising and find a kid with a rich dad. It's a nice boat don't get me wrong but for fuel consumption and price per gallon high and going higher and with a I/O that would be more efficient and faster and newer for less. I think your over estimating it's worth/value, Sorry for the brutal truth but I think you need to hear it.

Guess who's still around and restarting this project!!  ;D  :D
I guess I'll use the Speed Coat, Is there any tips on spraying this stuff, I want to paint the bottom of my boat from the water line down so I guess I'll spray gun it on and buy a couple cans for later touch ups. I also need some heavy duty Sea Going epoxy, Tom do you sell all this stuff? If not where should I get it and I also need to gelcoat/paint the engine compartment bilge area now that it's all redone any suggestions on what to use and where to get it?? Thanks Everyone..  Roy

I'm looking forward to seeing it. I'm a big fan of the original along with a huge fan of John Wayne and a little worried it would not be the same with out him. Along with you I heard others that liked it also.  :thumbup:

I have had my eye's on Outlaw Eagle Jet boats for a couple years now, When I buy a New boat it's pretty much a Guarantee that's what I'd buy, Problem is they are VERY Pricey and on the other side of the Continent from me.  :banghead:

The No Wake Zone / Re: Personal Info ??????
« on: January 06, 2011, 11:05:37 AM »
It's Not accurate at all, Say's I live on a vacant piece of property that I do own but live over 30 miles from and being that there is not a house/building on it I don't understand how it came up with that address when I own other places with buildings/houses on. Almost all the information on me is wrong.

I think the outcomes of the elections have pretty much put Obamas World Domination scheme out of business.  :thumbup:  Now he's gonna have to make some sort of sense and make both parties agree!!!

What are we worried about? Only gonna be a one termer anyway.....we're through the worst of it....

BINGO!! Could not of said it better myself.
