Near Magic Mountain in Valencia. Sure you can get there from here.

I just ran "Paramid Lake, CA" on Google Earth and it came up with Paramid Lake in Northern Navada above Tahoe.

I about sh*t, because I can't get there from here

If its near Valencia I'm sure I can find it. I just won't use Google Earth

This is a great site for people that need the help on their jet boat as i do and for everyone to just keep the bs ing rolling.

I really cant wait to get my boat fixed so i can meet all you guys. Its one thing to sit here on the computer and talk at ya, but its way better to drink a beer with ya.

Brad this site rocks, but im still waiting for my sticker's .

Got two jets and two tow vehicles. Am i being greedy to ask for four? i wouldnt think about puting one on my outboard but then again its still advertisement and would be alittle funny looking wouldnt it

You know sav (and Paul), I'm new to all of this, but I think if the Olds is done properly it's a good motor (just need to address the oil return issue). In fact, if I had the know-how and $$, I'd like to build-up my 455 in my Kona and race it in the jet class for SCJB (I guess I should just get it running first

).

Hey wanabe im in the same boat as you my brother, My first jetboat i put in the water a total of 1 time and then sold it

Now im back at it but having issues. I got five kids so $$ is a issue for me to. We will get there one way or another. Would love to hang out with you and drink some beer and talk about the 455, but i guess we got to get it into the water first, and ill race ya

We will connect eventually; I can always get a ride with flytime when something is organized.
My plan with this first boat was to get it running, use this season, then sell it and try to find a deal on a project open bow (I have 3 kids so my Kona is just way too small); my plan still stands; I'll be pulling it apart and see what I've got; my guess is a piston rod and pan will get it back in action (but this season is likely done). If worst comes to worst, I'll part it out (but I don't want to go that route is I don't have to; I'd like to see this Kona live on).

The Kona(patches) can still live on even if someone else owns it a puts a new motor in. We cant lay patches to rest yet.

I know but only 2 ways to get money out of it so I can look for the open-bow project:
- Sell it in running conditions, or
- Part it out.

So heres a few pics of my boat let me know what you guys think its almost done but came across some problems with the motor not turning over so were taking the motor back to the builder asap id like to try and get out a few times this year

« **Reply #123 on:** August 19, 2007, 09:22:19 AM »

I think you should put that yellow motor in the boat!

But that a nice looking boat.

« **Reply #124 on:** August 19, 2007, 09:25:04 AM »

the builder says this one makes just as much power as the yellow motor my pland are to put a blower on in the very near future right now it 14 to 1 comp. and on race gas so no blower for this motor anytime soon
