Oh great, someone else to give me crap about it not being done (just what I need)  .

 JK, SnoC653.  Glad you finally got yours home and welcome to the Oldskool Eliminator club.     How does it look in person ?   

 For those that don't know, SnoC653 picked up this one and has some future plans of possibly going circle racing with it (if I remember right). 

 Don't worry about it crewchief22, there's 65 people on the list so far on the other site (someone will help out). 

  OK Skip, now how about a list of some of those "sandbar pole dance contests". 

  Just so he knows where not to go.   

x2

go paint your engine proppy

 Ummm.......... No.  I'm not taking it back out again !!! 

Yea, the color is NOT what i was expecting. I should have got the dark blue one.    But its not comming back out now.  Besides, I thought you socal types down there would like that kind of thing.  Maybe it would look OK if the boat was pink? 

 

good honesty.. eh could go for some Recaro's or somethin. tryin to figure out a nice seating arrangement. What bout the other shit?

 As far as the seats it just depends on what you want. Its your boat, so build what makes you happy.  I do remember a boat (I think it was Blue's Brendella?) that had a set of low back seats kinda like that and it looked good.  But most people prefer something like these http://www.socaljetboats.com/index.php?topic=4123.0  .

 The water lines should work like you want to do it, most of the time its just easier to route the lines like you already have them. Be creative and have fun with it, as long as you get water to both sides of the motor you should be fine, but just to be safe, post up some pics when you do it (so everyone can tell you its wrong  ).

 Like FORKEDUP said, talk to Tom at Jet Boat Performance about gauges, he has great prices on new sets and sometimes has good used sets.  http://www.jetboatperformance.com/index.php?p=main

Congratulations on the cool present !

 Now go add your name to this list (you need to break it in)

I saw 50% off  ,  I want a set, (blue and black) please Santa, please. 

 OK,  I found some info on that sticker.  I believe it said Hustler.

 Quote,
Lee Taylor, a Californian boat racer, had first tried for the record in April 1964. His boat Hustler was similar in design to Bluebird K7, being a jet hydroplane. During a test run on Lake Havasu Taylor was unable to shut down the jet and crashed into the lakeside at over 100mph. Hustler was wrecked and Taylor was severely injured. He spent the following years recuperating, and rebuilding his boat. On June 30, 1967 on Lake Guntersville, Taylor and Hustler tried for the record, but the wake of some spectator’s boats disturbed the water, forcing Taylor to slow down his second run, and he came up 2 mph (3 km/h) short. He tried again later the same day and succeeded in setting a new record of 285.21 mph (459.00 km/h).

  Look at 1967

 And I still think that boat is an Eliminator.   

This thing has been driving me crazy !!!   I screwed up during the mock up (didn't put a gasket between the intake and suction housing) and its just enough of a difference that the pump brace and transom plates don't quite fit now  .  Two steps forward and three steps back !!!

 Got the pump in and fixed the brace, tomorrow I'll redo the transom plates.
