rembering the jet boat blues
« on: July 20, 2009, 07:33:49 PM »
Well, being that I had a outboard first(fishing boat ;D) then to a jet for 4 or 5 years. drove the sh!t out of it(broke the pump ;D) not all  that bad of a boat, just cost me alot of money to fix it up >:D I got it for 3500 and then put 8500 into it and than sold it for 9000 for My twin outboard...... ;D  ........ :thumbup: oh the fun :o

I thoght a wanted a jet boat again, talk about getting one for years.. :banghead: :banghead: :mad:
Was I wrong  :mad: :screwy: :banghead:

Now to the wife's boat (jet) not a bad deal yet...It's just a cheap cheap boat for the lakes. So we can ski and tube. Got the boat for 300 and then got a motor for 400. And then the other parts 328. not done but close. just some nickle and dime sh!t left.

With that said, Now I remeber why a didn't like building jet boats.... :banghead: what a pain in the butt. Its just two different worlds. The outboard was way easier to rig than the jet (i/o too). I just forgot how much easier. :banghead:

well, back to work on the jet

im glad youre feeling our pains! about time!

if it was easy, it wouldnt be any fun doing it!

jet boating is 75% workin on your shit with your buddys....25% spend enjoying it with your family. i know the percentages seem wrong morally....but that 25% is the best times, everytime.

and some great stories come out of that 75%

You give your lady the rest of the summer on that 320 HP and I guarantee she's gonna want more for next year! (Besides, I don't buy that you're gonna leave it alone to begin with, not in your nature........ so 320 my ass! :sly:)
