And yet...ANOTHER FNG!!! EDIT: Pictures are finally up!!!
« on: April 09, 2011, 07:59:28 PM »
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

Yeah, I have heard that before... I am more of a car/boat/bike guy, this computer stuff is "hard" far me :banghead: >:(!! I usually have one of my kids post a picture when someone asks, I'll have one of them do that for me.

Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

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.
