I think $10K was only for the one he had that was solid white, no color. I don't think it included a trailer either.
I saw over on RDP that Berkley was running a "special" where you could trade in a used pump for new. An entire pump with diverter was nearly 4 grand ! Jason has done some special engineering so that the belt and pulleys are on the pump side away from passengers too. It reallly is a well thought out 95-105 mph boat. Considering how long you can keep a boat with proper maintenance I think it is a steal.
Danny Donahue was making some damn nice boats based on the Spectra bottoms and his were coming in about the same price with a carb motor. Yeah I guess you could go out and spend the same money on a new ZL-1 Camaro but it won't look and feel nice in 15 yrs that's for sure.
Actually, Matt and Randy at Jet Boats Plus rigged that boat and worked that dealio on the blower along with Rich at Mooneyham. But still, yes, very cool idea and why I've stolen it. Better idea on a BBF than a BBC, really.
Those (insert "nutty" here, 'cuz regular people don't think like this) guys did it on a customers Hallett cruiser first, then that same customer bought one of Jason's hulls and had them rig it the same way. Rumour is, Drake since sold that boat and has ordered another from Jason. Matt (fastfred on the boards here) would be the only one to confirm or deny all this, but from what I was told, that boat was pulling 109MPH when he sold it.
