Just introducing myself. I am Ken (chopperimpala here on the board)
I live in Spokane, Wa and yes I know there are several NW Jet boat sites (which I am a member of) I am an original San Diego, So. Cal. guy!!!
So, with that being said, ... I went searching for So Cal jet boat / vintage jet boat sites and I found you guys.
While I am in Spo-SUCK-ane, I am actively seeking the "great move" BACK HOME!!!! Grew up in Kearny Mesa in Diego just off of Linda Vista road...GOD I MISS HOME!!!
Anyways, I am a NEW owner of a Jet boat ('78 Marlin W/ a tunnel rammed 460 and a Berkley Jet), I have been a hot rodder/lowrider/harley /Jet boat lover for most of my 43 years of life.
Lurked on here for a loooong time before I joined and figured I would fit in with all you.
Thanks, and nice to meet you all, but "be nice", remember I am a new guy...Ha ha ha
Thanks, Ken

Welcome aboard! Looks like all of us guys taking on projects had the same previous owner! Cause they all look the same! Looks like you got a nice solid boat under all of that chaos...Definately like some of the backround cars!
And be carefull IRREBEL will probably try to buy this boat from you!

Yeah thats funny, it does seem that way doesn't it! :screwy: Motor runs GREAT, ALL the aluminum, the mounts, adapters, complete Jet, everything had all been polished at one time. So everything is very nice and smooth so some hours with a buffing wheel will bring it all out. Lots of bumps and bruises in the glass though, but fixable. paid a grand for it and am Happy.
I do have lots of crap in the background don't I !!! Several '63/'64 Impalas, a '30 Chevy, '50 Chevy and a '56 Ford 2 door sedan EVERYTHING is a project though.

Welcome, looks like a nice project.
