Im sure you guys remember this one. Having hard times and I have no where to store this thing and dont need anymore bills. Been scared for my job and my parents are losing their house. I have tried to hold on to it as long as I could but it has to go. Priced for super quick sale...need it out of the driveway a.s.a.p. This thing rides like a caddy and has a new Chevy 350 in it. Its had a fuel delivery problem since I have had it and so I removed the fuel pump. I am almost positive thats going to fix the problem if not then might have to change out the carb. Hate to do this but have no choice. Let me know if you have any question...click link above for pictures.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / sbc problem

« on: September 22, 2008, 08:15:02 AM »

So ive got this brand new chevy 350 engine and it runs good at idle and low speeds. The person I got it from said I would probly need to replace the carb soon but the carb doesnt really look dirty. I dont know if that means anything if its dirty or not because I am still learning alot about engines. Well when I took it out it starts up fine and idles good and cruises really good but as soon as I get it up closer to top speed you can tell it starts to hesitate and then I lose all power and the engine fights to stay on and then dies. The only way I can get it to start after that is with some engine start spray and then it will do the same thing all over again. Do you guys think its the carb? Can I take the carb off and do anything or look for anything to see if thats the problem? I have a camera and can take pics of anything to show you guys. I am trying to make one last river trip and this little problem is kind of raining on my river parade. Any help is appreciated.

Boats For Sale / For Sale 18 Ft. 1975 Seguaro Open Bow 460 Ford

« on: August 17, 2008, 05:37:35 PM »

Bought this boat at beginning of summer. This is my first Jet Boat and I really love it. My g/f on the other hand isnt quite a fan. She says its "too loud, too fast, and too bumpy". One thing she is right about is the too bumpy part. I like to go to the river but I also really enjoy going to the lake. Our last trip was out to Lake Mojave and the second day I think I went on 2 runs the whole day. Just not the ideal conditions for this boat. This really turned my g/f off on the boat so here it is up for sale. I am actually also open to trades for a bigger boat. It would be cool to find a bigger Jet boat but I/O is also ok. Let me know what you got and if your interested in buying and maybe we can make a deal. Its got a 460 Ford engine in it and is turn key. I just got a brand new holley 750 double pumper carb. on this bad boy and it goes pretty fast. I am asking $4500 OBO. Here are the pics...

And here is a link to a little video I found while uploading pics from my camera. I didnt even know my g/f took this video. This was our last trip out about 3 weeks ago at Lake Mohave. I am really just cruising in the video not on the gas much at all but you can hear how strong the motor sounds.

Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to get another Jet Boat. This one has really turned me on to them.....I am just a speed demon lol! But would be nice to have something everyone can enjoy and its also always a good thing to keep the woman happy. Please dont try to bust my balls too much...haha!

Jet Pumps / Think something is wrong with my Jet

« on: July 08, 2008, 08:55:14 AM »

Hey Guys! My name is Chad and I just bought a Jet Boat about a month 1/2 ago. It needed some minor things done to the engine and I took care of all of it to get the engine running real good. Only thing is I didnt touch the Jet and dont know much about them. I took the boat for a couple test runs as I was getting the engine right and once I did it was running great. Well this past weekend I took it all the way out to laughlin and the first day out something went wrong. It was running good all day and then at the end of the day I went and got some gas at the station on the water. After I was done getting gas something was different. The boat was moving but as I gave it gas it was barely going anywhere to the point where my engine was screaming and my boat was barely moving at all. I still have direction and reverse but just barely any power at all. Only thing I can think of is its got to be the Jet but I am a Noob to Jets so you guys probly know exactly whats wrong. Could you please help and point me in the right direction on where to start. Im kind of bummed out. I have been prepping all the little things on this boat and getting the engine to run real good since I bought it and it didnt even last a full day at the River =[
