Title: River racer jet build up.
Post by: GT Jets on August 07, 2013, 09:14:08 PM
So here is the deal.

I have three big block Chevy's

I have 3 complete Berkeley jets.

I have two 18' low profile jet boats.

I have enough rigging and extras to built them twice.

I have the knowledge to put together a pretty quick ride.

I have a burning desire to go toe to toe with you guys.

Here is what I am in need of.

A bucket full of money (five's and ten's would be fine).

About 1-1/2 days to myself in the garage a week.

A 6" steering hub adapter..

A stainless "B" impeller for a Berkeley.

A spare AQ shaft.

I am sure once I get rolling this list will get stupid long....

Anyways.

Who else is building one of these badboys?

Well I just so happen to have a spare boat laying around. If it stays i have everything short of a steering cable and gauges to put it together.
