Hello all. New to the site as well as jet boats. I Have started my learning process of jet boats and have been reading a lot of the posts here, very good stuff. My idea is to find a project to start with so I can learn more about jet boats as I redo one from the ground up. I have a friend of a friend that has a 1979 Mako Shark 19'. It's set up for CBB and has a Dominator pump. He also says the pump is built for a 1000+ hp... The guy claims that it's an old circle race boat and it's made out of balsa wood. This sounds interesting. Does this sound right? Is this something I should pursue? I would appreciate any input from you guys. Thank you for your time!!
