Millers are BAD ASS Battle Ships.
Glad nobody was hurt.
So, the rental Co. Is required to have insurance.
That would be my next step.

Wow, that sucks.Right, they said they want to repair it without going through insurance. Which works for me. The guy on the ski broke 3 ribs and punctured lung. My buddy said he saw him earlier driving 3ft away from a hazard buoy.

Small world! Parquer and those guys were sending me pictures of the ski that hit you this past weekend. Sounded like a wild day!Yeah it was wild, you have a jet boat? I'm trying to get a group started for next year and maybe hit up one of the SoCal trips to havasu or something. There used to be a ton of jet boats around this area need to get those guys to pull them out of the weeds

Man that is terrible luck. Glad you're alright so you can get her back on the water! Quick question though, where did you get the carpet you put in the boat and what type is it?? I have to do mine this winter.Home Depot indoor/outdoor carpet. Use 3M number 90 spray adhesive

I've seen a bunch of guys on here that are very happy with it.
She's hip on jet boats knows the makes and model plus the crazy shit we do to them so the coverage is out there it's up to you how much of what you got you wanna cover.

Then send estimate(s) to the jet ski rental company. Certified Mail, Signature required. Notify him that you have already contacted the State of New Mexico Attorney General.
And, Well , notify the Attorney General.

I must be blind. I just read those whole thread trying to see what your set up was. But 4k in that boat? Seems low.I'm thinking the same thing. It's healthy for sure, and phone gps I've had it up to 65 with probably a lil more to go. Just crazy how fast some of those fishing boats are.

Well I got my ass handed to me by a bass boat. I did have 4 people in the boat, but he walked me bad. What's next? my buddy recommended a blower... 454, performance heads. Roller cam. I believe it's a AA impeller, droop. Thought it ran good till that guy drove right by me. Boat only turns 4,000 but I don't wanna be sucking fuel like a B impeller is what my old man said he had in it before. Like to turn about 4,800 wide open I think.Has the engine been apart yet? I would start looking into what exactly you have now. From there, you can make educated decisions on where to go.
Sent from my iPhone using SoCal Jet Boats
Judging by your RPM with both a AA and a B cut, I'm going to make a guess that you have very low compression. Any change in cylinder heads, cam, and intake will result in lower cylinder pressure and reduced efficiency and power without increasing compression.
Could make some suggestions if you wanted to describe your current engine combo. Even compression test numbers would help.
Good luck,
Joe
