Title: 1976 Holmes Horizon
Post by: MNJET on July 05, 2010, 01:44:02 PM: I just bought a 1976 Holmes Horizon, 19'. It has a 460 Ford. It is in running shape (I have had it on the water twice so far) but I have no other information about the boat or the manufacturer.

I am new at jet boats (always wanted one but very fer here in Minnesota). Any advice or information is appreciated.
