Hello,
Wanted to introduce my self to the forum. Just bought a 1973 Avenger Mach III Jet Boat. It is in pieces and needs a lot of work. I am new to the jet boat world. I previously restored and am a proud owner of a 1984 Supra Rider which has served as the family ski, wake and surfing boat for the past nine years but now looking to get into something new. The Supra Forum was incredibly helpful in restoring and keeping my old Supra running. Looks like this forum is the same. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide to me. I am a newbie so excuse my stupidity with jet boats.
The boat is solid, stringers, floor and transom are in good shape. Someone did a terrible paint job on it. Looks good from 10 feet but terrible up close. Also, they painted over the green metallic flake gel coat. I think I am going to go back to the original color. Any thoughts on that? I have a Chevy 468 big block with crank and rods but will I am going to have to build it from there. Never built an engine before...so a newbie there again. Its going to be a long term project.
Would love to hear from any members and get your insights and thoughts. Really looking forward to become a part of the jet boat world.
thanks,
Dan
