So got a new phone and can not find the SoCal jet boat app? Is anyone else having this issue

Man, good for you trying to keep this forum going. Doesn't look like there's been much traffic. As far as the app. not sure what happened, I wasn't getting any use out of it anymore so I deleted it. I really hate to say it, but you'll have more luck on book of lies. 

I can shoot you some before pics also.

Sad news, condolences to the family.

If you’re running logs yes, its a better way to add a little heat to the block. Water runs through the block too quick for proper operating temps. So pre-heating through the logs helps out a little so theres not a drastic change of lake/river running straight to the block.

We are so excited to be going back to Big River in Parker, Arizona! We did events for several years on that stretch of the river. The popular SoCal Jet Boats Event named "One Hot Summer Weekend" in August used to be called "The Gord Trip" and took place at Big River. A forum member named "Farmer Gord" used to make an annual trip from his cattle farm in Alberta, Canada down to Southern California to enjoy the Colorado River, thus the name of the event. As the number of event attendees grew, we opted to move this event to the Avi where it continues to be a successful event. Check our event schedule for information regarding that upcoming event.

This year we are adding a new stop to our annual Summer Tour - Big River, CA. The date is July 24th and like past events, the Big River Community Park will be where the majority of people will launch from. The launch ramp is a bit tough as it is directly in the current of the river. If you see someone struggling, please lend a hand. Big River has graciously reduced the launch fee from $25 to $20 for all SoCal Jet Boats members who are going to be launching at the Community Park. The park has been fighting financial difficulties with the CRIT shutdown of the river due to COVID and increasing costs of operations. Brittney and I encourage everyone to donate to the park if possible. We take pride in supporting those who support us. Let's make sure this community stays open and helps take care of each other so we can continue doing what we all love, boating! 

The Park has been an important part of the community and has been the site for many weddings, celebrations of life, BBQs, parties and events since 1975! We look forward to having more events here.

Like previous years, we will hang out at the community park for a bit, then make stops at the sand bars up river (water levels permitting) then ultimately spend the day up at "Pee Pee Cove", which is on the CA side of the river, just below the Bluewater Dam.

For those of you who have been around longer, but haven't been to Big River in awhile, unfortunately the Big River Inn and Catfish Cantina are no longer open. The Local Bar and Restaurant Dumas Walker is still open and if you are up for some Karaoke, lets see what you got! This will be a great spot for everyone to hang out in the evening.

All waterway and on-road laws will be enforced. Be aware that the CRIT police patrol the area. Do not drink and drive.

Here is a map of where the Community Park is, where we will be!

We look forward to seeing you all there!

Brad, cant see the map

I try to keep mine under 180 at idle, it'll cool off under power.

yup you're right, got my numbers backwards, thanks for the correction!

I’m just trying to get on plain faster and throw a higher roost. I have a manual place diverter already

A droop will not accomplish either one of those. Not worth the money just for a higher roost (IMO). A good tight detailed pump with machined shoe and ride plate will help with hole shot, along with inducer.

A lot of choices out there just on the steep side for new!

Are Berkeley Droops universal and how you know if you need a full droop or mini droop?


Sent from my SM-N960U using SoCal Jet Boats mobile app

What are you trying to accomplish by either one? Looks like you have a JE pump, and cannot add a droop unless you're able to swap out your bowl to a split JG or newer JE (looking at the pic from Berkeley site) https://www.berkeleyjet.com

I did a eng. swap gen v to gen iv and did not have adjust anything with a 3 point system

I've searched, but just can't find the answer.  If I missed a post that answers this please link it for me.  I have a gen IV bbc 454 in my Commander jet boat running a Dominator pump.  I am dropping in a remanufactured motor and have a line on a gen V.  Are they interchangeable or will I need to mod things?  Thanks.

What are you talking about? Swapping parts from gen iv to gen v, or swapping motor for motor in the boat? If you’re swapping motors then the mounts will work. As long as you’re not changing to bbf or bbo.

it works I'm just looking into other jets for a swap because I'm not to big of a fan of the jacuzzi,I dont know to many brands so I made the post to get more info on brands what to look for things like that.

before you go down that rabbit hole, what are your goals, hows the boat run now? sometimes its easier to find a boat with a pump you want rather then swap it out, unless you have a lot of time and fiberglass skills.
Jet Boat Performance has a kit that changes out the bowl to be able to add droops and place diverters. search the forum its came up several times. from what I've read the cost/ performance from an energizer kit you're better off getting a different boat with the pump you want. unless you're having problems with your pump now, run what you got...  https://www.jetboatperformance.com/jet-boat-parts-and-services-atascad-1

good luck

I have a set of over transom headers that I’m running wet.


Sent from my iPhone using SoCal Jet Boats mobile app

little disclaimer lol. I'm running center risers sooooo, I really don't know too much about headers. But I do have a pressure regulator on my cruiser running. I've been told its not necessary and its overkill for my boat, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Before you buy one some things to consider. How good is your pump, what hp are you running milder engines should be fine without one. Hope this helps
