Be careful, he might come back to get the boat and leave you with his wife  ;D

Welcome to the site from SoCal

As far as finding jet boat parts, you need to watch EBay, Craigslist, and the classifieds on here.  Sometimes you can find stuff on other boat sites but none are as much fun as this place.

Sounds good to me lol she was kinda cute !!! But im sure he will get a good fight if he comes for the boat. I have put alot of time into this boat. So i think i will keep it. I got the 460 going really good. She sounds real nice now.. Just have to paint and put interior in it and she is done ...

Just a thought how hard will it be to paint the boat with the 460 and jet in it? Any ideas?

Here are some good pics of masking off a hull for inside paint

It wouldn't be much different to mask off the engine and pump
