Great time to decide on a new look....Do you have a ski locker or coolers under seats. Get the pics up....
i do have a ski locker in the middle and i love it...great for "recycled" boat sodas and other trash but it gets really nasty when oil from the bildge flows up there.....so were going to fix that problem on drainage...and no plans for any coolers as of yet....keeping the interion in tact and repairing what i can...

Do you plan on a dog house or are you going to make a hatch? With a open bow, a hatch could hide a few things and give strippers a place to sunbathe.
im going to stick with the doghouse cover for now, and going to rebuild the little jump seats on the sides...they seemed to have taken a drownding and most of the abuse from getting in and out of the water via swim step....i already have a place for everything under the seats, this boat has great storage, everything is put away and is very accessable, one of my favorite parts about the boat!
any other questions or comments ? keep um comin if ya got um....thanks!

heres a little information on my boat.
its a 1978 21ft omaga california daycruiser jet boat
open bow conversion
460 ford bigblock and a jacuzzi wj pump w. place diverter
SO AFTER... many months and a few discussions with other jet boaters i decided to bite the bullet and replace my loose soggy floor
i really love my cruiser, and i had a strong feeling it was really water logged under there....seemed like in the last 2 years the boat slowed down like 10 miles per hour.....and now it was time for action! i took the cruiser to the crazy eights speed lab at the super secret location.!
brad and i started by taking out the "needs help"460 ford......drained the oil and started the teardown....stripped to the short block...waiting on the stand for some alone time.....
next we started to pull out the interior piece by piece, and pulling all the hardware off the floor...waiting for demolition day!
which came today........ripped up 1/2 the carpet to see the sorry ass floor .....some spots soggy wood, some cracked up fiberglass all cracking under our weight as we walked around the floor since the interior was out....it was ugly.....but thats not the half of it!
more to come as well as pictures of the action!

ray...try running a chemical called "heet"..put it in the fuel tank...it will break up the gel and shouds start after a while.......and try runing diesel additive every tank full......it will help!
bio diesel is not the problem......whens the last time you changed the fuel filter?
