Hulls / History of the California Charger Boats???

« on: May 13, 2014, 11:29:48 AM »

Does anyone know any of the History of the California Charger Boats???
I have a 1976 or 1977 California Charger Jet boat. Was this Hull copied from some other?
The dash board is kinda weird as behind the steering wheel it is raised then just to the right it goes forward maybe 6 inches. I've not seen to many other boats like this. Is this a good boat? Mine seems to be in good condition. 460 Ford with Jacuzzi WJ pump.

Engines / Engine Parts For Sale / Ford 460 Boat Engine at Long Beach Hi Performance Swap Meet Last Sunday.

Last Sunday at the Long Beach Hi Performance Swap Meet there was a 460 Ford Boat Engine for sale. Does it belong to any one of the Members here??? Does anyone on here know who was selling this engine??? I believe the seller is out their often selling boat parts.
I may be interested in it. I have one cylinder with heavy rust pitting after cleanup on my boat engine. I was thinking it would be quicker to replace my engine so I could use my Jet Boat this Summer. I can rebuild mine later in the year.
Message me if you can help.
Thanks,

Jet Pumps / Tips and Tricks to Modify the Jacuzzi 12WJ Jet Pump.

Has anyone ever written the modifications done to these Performance Pumps from back in the day?
Some of these pumps have gone over 100mph and I'm not talking about the ones gutted and Berkley internals fitted. I'm very curious to know just what people did to make them more efficient using Jacuzzi parts.

They were made in Garden Grove, California. I have a 1977 Charger and would like to know more about their History. Mine is 19 feet long, 460 Ford with a Jacuzzi Jet Pump. Is this a Good Hull Design? How many were made? Was anybody Famous involved with their Design or Manufacturing?
Yes I'm a Newby and have a lot of questions.
Thanks,
