79 Wisconsin Ski Boat
« on: June 30, 2016, 09:19:13 AM »
Didn't know exactly where to put this post. 

I started this project 8 years ago. It is my first jet boat.  Stripped it down to nothing and rebuild it from scratch.  Did all the work myself including paint, interior, engine build and pump rebuild.  I have been doing upgrades on the engine and now I have that completed to were I want it.  Finished it out with my new headers, scoop and cooling lines.   

Next will be to step up the jet.  It is a completely stock berkeley JE with aluminum aa impeller.  Finally redo the interior.

Has been a lot of fun building and just wanted to share.  I don't see very many jet boats around here.

Well welcome to the jet boat scene. Or we should call it Madness. Congratulations on your boat. Lot of hard work and it shows. Like those twisties, looks real good. Those a-n lines look real nice.

Here is a link.

Boat ran great and the new headers sounds sweet... I have so much wheel spin feel on take off.  Have to figure out how to get ride of it! You can pick up on it at the start before I start playing around..
