I am looking for used jet boat seats.  I have a 1978 Omega, and I made the mistake of trusting a company to redo my seats.  The guy came over and gave me a decent price to redo the seats, and I gave him 50% to get started.  I was a fool.  His address was fake, and I could not get the framework for the seats back.

It is better to start with something instead of nothing.    I am attaching images of what the seats looked like, but I do not expect to find the same.  Just need something to start with for a jet boat.  I am in Norco, Ca.

That sucks. Are you looking to use them as temporary seats or as a template to make them?
You don?t see people offering old seats for sale or giving them away, they usually just get trashed. Best bet might be to reach out to some boat interior shops and see if you can get someone?s old setup. Maybe try to contact GS marine and see how f they have anything.
These forums are a ghost town now. It?s all about the SCJB Facebook group. You might have a better chance there.
 Another thought is fiberglass buckets and a bench for the back. I think Jet Boat Performance still sells them.
Good luck. 👍🏻

all 18 ft 1-21ft  some free hulls without trailers some with parts or pumps please read all the pics before you contact stu
dont email or contact me some where mine from back in my sanford and sons days lol  stu is handling it all..im retired living on a lake in south carolina with my drag hydro wife and dog lol   go on craigslist inland impire calif (Attachment Link)

I like how you mention your boat, and then your wife and the dog. 😂 Priorities.

What's it take?  How much HP,?  What kind of pump work?  I assume pump has to be set back further as well.

There have been a few Hallets on the boat forums that have been into the 90?s. Like Mash on it said, about 750hp and some good pump work. The couple that I can think of, both had big Fords. Weight and an uneven bottom make a jet boat less efficient = less speed.

 Happy New Year. Congrats on the little one. Good thing you got the boat just about done and ready to go. 😁

Although the original post was not about Smellsumore, the lake has reopened as of 2/10/23. Makes for some good local testing.

Thanks for the heads up.

The time has come for new seats. Stock front buckets are 17s and the back bench is probably original from the 70s. So I ordered 20" front buckets and a fiberglass rear bench shell from JBP. I just can't make up my mind on what color I want. JBP only offers a two color pattern.  The main color of basically the whole seat and a separate "trim" color. So just hoping to see some other yellow boats to get some ideas and/or inspiration. Whatever you got, let's see it!!

Are you talking about the fiberglass seat back or the upholstery?
I think a medium grey would look good.

I am no longer on face book and haven't made a post in over a month and a half! So I thought I would get my fix and post here! So here goes! I raised awesome Kids!

Welcome back to the Old School. How was it going a month without social media for a month and a half? More productive? 😁

Well today dropped the motor off and already can?t wait till I have the boat on the water.

Have you figured out what changes/modifications are going to be made?

Are you planning on getting a larger oil pan?

Well I?m not looking to spend a fortune but I want to get a good quality one and possibly looking to tow with it

This thread is from 2007. But I think this is the guy I was talking about. I think a few people on here used him over the years.
I just went on Craigslist and found this one

Here is another thread from 2015

It might be worth calling around to some marine upholstery shops maybe to get an idea of price.

Depends on how much you?re looking to spend. Are you looking for a nice tow cover or just something to throw over it while stored? If you do a search, there was a guy a lot of people used, I think he worked out if his house. I?ll take a look later and see if I can find the info. Most marine upholstery places will make custom covers.

If you want just a decent cheap one, Overtons online store is a good place to check out.

I need to get a new boat cover I?ve noticed my current cover getting beat up over the years and want to get a good quality one. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance

Looking for suggestions on where I should set idle on trailer.  1200ish?  Idles awesome on trailer about 900 rpm but, of course, in the water with the impeller lol ad won't stay running, and a moving, loaded boat is not ideal for idle tuning...

I think I?m about 1200ish, (my tach stopped working a long time ago).
Like you said it?s different in the water, under load. Your going to have to set it a bit higher, then launch and do it on the water after it warms up a bit.

Single or dual carb?
