Got the new aluminum tanks built to replace the original fiberglass ones. they came out looking great. The originals where fiber glassed in im thinking ill do the same to mount these suckered in there. I've never fiberglassed anything so if anyone has suggestions or tips please let me know or lead me in the right direction. Next up stereo, hydroturf (instead of carpet). Also any suggestions on gauges? Thanks! Hoping to have the boat on the water in June might be wishful thinking but thats the goal

Been a busy couple months at work finally had some down time and got the tanks out they where fiberglass. Does anyone know where I could get some custom aluminum tanks built om southern California hopefully the San diego area? Also recommendations for jet boat mechanics need some motor work and maintenance done and possibly go through the jet.

Projects / 1969 Kona project
« on: September 20, 2020, 07:29:47 PM »
Hello want to start by saying I'm new here this is my first boat. Going to apologize in advance lack of knowledge and any dumb questions. I picked up a 16ft 1969 Kona with a 327 sbc and a berkley jet. Bought it from the orginal owner who purchased the hull and built the boat in 1969. Overall the boat is in good shape and i think its a great starting point. Pump is a berkley 12ja - b i think i read somewhere that pump isn't made anymore if thats the case are any parts interchangeable with newer pump models? ( if this is addressed somewhere here please point me in that direction) . Also what are some good resources to buy parts and have motor or pump work done if i need it.
Build plan as of this moment :
-New battery
-Rocker arms
-Steering cable ( super hard to turn currently)
-Throttle cable
-Rebuild the carb
-Possibly gas tanks ( the ones in there look like fiberglass but ive heard they could be aluminum tanks wrapped in fiberglass will check on that later)
-Polish the parts that should be Shiny
- Stereo system
Thats it for now maybe gel coat since its rough in some places, carpet and upholstery later down the road. Thanks everyone look forward to getting this thing running
