MorePower-its been on craigslist for awhile I think, I am actually his neighbor. I finally decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on this buy, so I started asking questions and bargaining on the listed price. I will post pics as soon as I remember how to do it, been so long I forgot.

Thanks for the response beerjet, I will check and get back to you. I do know Hulls are suppose to flex, just caught my attention when he said noticeable flex. Kind of made me think Iit was more than normal.

Hulls / 78 Southwind Question
« on: April 02, 2014, 12:31:47 PM »
So its been awhile since I've been on the site, I sold my Tahiti due to financial reason in 2012 
. But as you all know that jet boat owners cant stay away for too long, currently 
I'm in the process of buying a 78 Southwind with BBF, bored .60 over, roller cams lifters and rockers. My question is from a statement the current owner said, He says the hull noticeable flex to it. Should I be concern with this, or is this normal for this style of hull? Thanks in advance for the advise, and glad to be back.
