First jet boat project
« on: January 21, 2015, 09:44:39 AM »
Ive had this boat maybe 5 months now its 18ft not sure what hull it is i got it with bill of sale only i know its pre 73 cuz their is no HIN stamped on the hull anywhere. It hasnt been registered since 01. It has a 455 olds and a jacuzzi pump.. So far i ripped out all the old interior cocktail style seating old carpet.. replaced the wood flooring re glassed everything. All the seats were rotten. Found some plastic bucket seats and made all new seat mounts. Now it has 2 buckets and a rear bench im planning on re upholstering the seats. Ive laid new carpet. Got all the gauges working which i believe are hardin marine vintage gauges.. changed steering wheels & the exhaust to logs instead of bassets.

motor is bone stock 455 with KA heads and a mallory distributor.. runs real good. Im sure the jet could use some freshening up. Ive put it in elsinore once in november just to test. It will do 55 all day. Which im ok with for now. Haha.
Ive been on this forum for a few months now and this is my first actual post other than commenting or asking questions on others. I enjoy this forum real helpful and the people seem friendly and willing to help.  Feel free to give me an idea on what hull u think this is.

The weimans and rogers were 3/4 stringers so its neither one of those.
