What's up guys? New to the forum. Lurked a bit seems like a cool place. Anyhow I just recently got my first boat. I traded my street bike for a 85 carerra eclipse 20.5 ft. It's a cool boat in good condition. Could use some new carpet and uphostrly could be re done which I plan on. There is only one problem. It has a margarita mixer on the back. Every carerra eclipse I've seen on the net has a jet. My original plan was to get a jet. I like them there fun. How hard would it be to put one in my boat. Since it was designed to have one. The wacker on the back is an 89 rude 200xp. The older two strokes like mine will be not welcome in California waters soon and a new outboard is like 15 grand.
I can get a used berkley and a bbc for less than a used outboard. The question is can it be done and will it be worth it?

"wont be welcome in CA waters SOON"
i dont see what the problem is... you have a perfectly fine boat. use it. or you could convert it to a jet and burn more gas doing the same thing.
