1976 Holmes Horizon
« 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.

I looked at that boat on CL lots of times, I ended up with one from ILINOIS, but I know how hard, and lucky you have to get to find a nice boat in this part of the country. Yours looks pretty good, and I hope you enjoy it. Rick
