Anyone have pics of their tunnel ram set up with throttle bracket? Converted from a single carb to a t ram with dual carbs side by side with an enderle throttle linkage. The problem I have is I have to fab up a throttle clamp down bracket. I need to see some options if there some out there. Thanks in advance.

I grew up on v-drives and my first two boats were v-drives. And I’ve always heard and even have said for many years, if you want to go fast get a prop boat. I’ve been a jet boat owner for a couple years now. Most of that time was restoring the boat. I have a north of mild bbc which is fairly the same set up as my last v-drive and the v-drive definitely responded better, easier to control and was faster. Now the last piece to my jet boat is a pump rebuild as it’s pretty worn out.

My question is, if you take a v-drive and a jet boat with the exact power plant, what does the jet boat need to do to be competitive with the v-drive. That question of course is my thoughts that pound for pound a v-drive will out perform a jet. Not here to cause an argument, I’m seriously looking to get the most of what I have. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Hey gents, anyone have any good recommendations for someone to rebuild my pump in the inland empire?

Just finished my boat project and now it’s time to break in the engine which I’ll do on the trailer. I plan on disconnecting the driveline so I’m not turning the pump dry during break in. The problem here is that the driveline isn’t really a driveline other than turn buckles on both sides of the connecting plates. The connecting plates butt up against each other with very little slack. I can’t see running the engine with a u joint flopping around plus flopping around right next to the part that goes to the pump. What are my options here? Hope I described the dilemma good enough. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey all, I don’t post on here much but I figured this may help those in the situation I was in. Jet boats suck when it comes to putting them in your garage because the pump makes the boat too long for most garages. The options are usually to park it outside or put the boat at an angle which destroys garage space and it sucks. So here’s what I did and it worked out pretty good.

For three years I had my boat at an angle which made it to where the ol lady had to park her car on the driveway. My downstairs office shares the rear wall to my garage. All I needed was about six inches more garage space to park the boat straight. So I poked a hole in the office/garage wall hahaha. Fuggit. Got tired of losing valuable garage space. But it’s not as bad as it seems.

Once the hole was made, I framed it, dry walled it, mudded it. All that’s left is to texture and paint it. Turned out pretty good. Just thought I’d share in case anyone else was in my situation.
