Hello all
Due to problems with my old boathttp://www.socaljetboats.com/index.php/topic,800.msg13984.html#msg13984 I bought the Eliminator 21 in the project boat classifiedshttp://www.socaljetboats.com/index.php/topic,1212.0.htmlwith the idea of useing my old boats 460 and a berkeley jc pump that I have sitting in my garage.
Does anybody know if the hulls where the same for the jet and the outbourd ? This hull has realy small stringers, about 1 inch wide by 1.5 inch high
and it has about a 6 inch fin mounted to the right side (sponson ?), with none on the left side 
.
Do you guys think this is a good idea or should I try to get that big ugly black thing hanging off the back of my pretty new boat to run
?
By the way, my user name still fits , the outboard has no prop

Any ideas of what would be needed to convert it , was the hull the same ? It has realy small stringers, only about 1.5 inches tall

Hello all
Iv'e been lurking around here for a while now and I guess it's time I started to speak up. My boat is a 77 18 ft Lancer (I know, nobody ever heard of it),it looks like a Tahiti but built like crap !! 460/jacuzzi yj (yuck) . Ive had it almost 5 yrs now. Sorry no pics, I hate to even look at it let alone take pics ! I had to have the motor done twice because someone didn't cleanout the oil passeges the first time(pumped metal shavings through the motor
next trip out it spun the front bearing in the jet,had it fixed, next trip same thing this time at the back of the lake and water was flowing into the boat through the bearing (assembled wrong) . Fixed it myself after that, no more problems . Next trip no problems , or so I thought, got home and the boat was still dripping water so I look under it and what do I see , a BIG ASS CRACK IN THE HULL 
!! So I gave up on this boat/pile of sh#@!!!! And bought the 21 ft Eliminator Daytona in the project boat section with the idea of useing my 460 and a Berkeley jc pump that I have sitting in my garage. So what do you all think of this plan or should I stick with the big ugly outboard ?
