How you doing boys!
I've been around boats a while now but I have no experience with jets. I've had a couple of Master Crafts that I've gotten rid of and now I have an old Boston Whaler that I fish the coast in. I haven't been anywhere on the colorado river in at least 4 years and I'm jonesing bad. I don't have much interest in a ski boat again and I've always admired the flat bottom jets and v drives that would haul ass on the early morning and late afternoon glass.
I literally have no experience with a jet boat and unfortunately I've never even ridden in one. I've been reading through the archives trying to learn but I'm hoping you guys can give me a little direction on what I should be looking for as I begin my search for a boat.
Ideally, I'd like an open bow boat so I can bring a couple more people with me. I'd like something closer to the reliable side of the spectrum than the performance side until I get some experience. I'd also like to end up with a reputable hull even if I have to put some money into the gel coat and interior to get it looking good.
I've got a budget around 10 grand but there's so many option out there, I want to make an educated decision. I'm in Lake Elsinore so if there's any one around here that wants to hang out and talk boats I'll bring a 6 pack over. Hopefully I'll be back on the river this summer.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You should have little trouble finding something worth while with that budget.
Keep the eyes peeled for;
Eliminaotors, Carrera's, Sleek Crafts, Cole, Hawaiian, Advantage and so on.
You will want to keep it right around 20', longer and you get into weird performance issues, shorter and your friends need to be really friendly... LOL
If you are looking for reliability, go for Marine Power, Hardin Marine, Kodiak just to name a few. These engine manufacturers have "been around the lake a time or two" and have proven themselves repeatedly.
There are quite a few jet pump companies out there, you really can't miss with a Berkeley style pump. These would include American Turbine, Dominator, Legend and if you have extremely deep pockets, you can go with a Hamilton.
Good luck and hope to see you on the water.

Eliminator, but then again I may be a little biased.

Hey guys thanks for the help. That Caliber 1 is pretty sweet for the money but the wife didn't like the color scheme. Surprisingly, she digs the brown/yellow color combinations on some of the older day cruiser style boats.
I'm still hoping to find the right open bow boat but if I find a deal and everything else is right but it's a closed bow then I'd be stoked with that as well. Plus there's something special about your chick laying out on the bow of your boat.
I'm definitely planing on staying with one of the most reputable hulls and a lot of the Eliminators are catching my eye. Like this one...http://mohave.craigslist.org/boa/4402953064.html (http://mohave.craigslist.org/boa/4402953064.html)
That one seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, just a little above my budget.
I'll also say that I've flirted with getting a V'drive or an Outdrive boat but the benefits of them aren't outweighing what I see as the benefits of a jet.
Well thanks again for the help. Before I make a move on a boat I'll be sure to get your guys opinion first.

hey pelican! Welcome.
I have a bahner 21' closed bow with an IO. It runs very well, is somehwat fuel efficient and rides great. It cuts through most chop and is a great family boat. Built a Vortec 350 for it and it still runs 60-65 with 6 adults on board.
With that said i for one completely understand the worries about shallow water and having a prop. I have never hit anything and ive been in Blythe, laughlin, etc. Though i am pretty good at reading water and finding the low spots. I dont know what my draft is, but i can tell you ive blasted over some sand bars and not hit anything, some pretty shallow water. I totally live by the "when in doubt, gas it out" motto.
My advice, if you aren't planning on spending lots of time in "skinny water" and want something turn key, fun for kids (tubing etc) and somewhat fuel efficient. I would recommend an outdrive. Though not that you cant do these thing with a jet it all seems easier with a drive. The Bahner is excellent for the local lakes.
Now if you plan on adding power, and abusing the thing go jet. dont even consider the outdrive. Im pushing about 450 horse through mine and everytime i hammer it i cringe. I try not to get on it hard until its on plane but still im living on borrowed time.
But if you are like me, and enjoy the long trips then the outdrive is the way to go. We typically launch in needles and cruise about 3200 rpm (roughly 40mph) to havasu springs. Usually have little less than a 1/4 tank when we get there. Switch to the other tank and cruise back. This last weekend, we didnt go all the way to havasu springs because the water was trashed and i had two passengers who havent been in a boat before. We launched in needles, drove to the bridge, grabbed lunch. Went back to towards pirate cove found a beach. Hung out and still went out the next day to pirate cove for lunch. Barely burned through a tank (about 15 gallons) and this was with two ice chests, and 6 adults.
if you have any questions feel free to let me know. My cell is 909-705-9077

Hey guys, thanks again for all the help. I met up with Wes at his house yesterday and he did an excellent job of selling me on a Carrera! Seriously though his boat is sick and it was great getting to compare the Eliminator and Carrera side by side.
Steve, I really appreciate your input. I've considered that in both the river/lake boating world and the ocean boating world that a majority of boats have out drives. I'm sure their benefits outweigh their flaws. To be honest though I don't envision an outdrive when I dream about getting a classic river boat. If I were to get something other than a jet I'd probably go with something along these lines...

As stupid as it may sound, I want to be able to throw big fatty rooster tails. I also look forward to learning how to drive a jet. My little whaler is about the easiest boat I've ever driven with the outboard. My direct drive ski boats would always swing the ass end starboard in reverse and I enjoyed learning how to master that. Though I'm leaning towards the jet right now, I'm sure I'll eventually end up with a v drive as well just to check it off the list.
I've never done really long runs in my previous boats. I've spent plenty of time on both Havasu and Mojave but I enjoy the moving water in the river much more and that's what I want the new boat for.
There's so many options it's probably going to come down to the best deal.

Can't go wrong with any of em! A v drive would be sweet.
I have the outdrive and its nice for a "family" boat in my opinion.
With that said I am in the process of building a jet boat. The places I would like to go more often I totally see the advantages of the jet. Plus I wanna add big power

I talked to that guy yesterday, he says he just dumped a bunch of money into it (new interior, stereo, powered coat) but his wife wants him to sell it. He's in Ontario but the boat is in Havasu at his parents place.
He's seems pretty reasonable about price and someone could get a pretty good deal on it but I just can't see myself towing around a plum and pink boat.

Have you seen some of the outrageous colors of boats... That boats pulls it off great! And the name pulls it all together.
That is a boat up the street from me that is all orange! Literally everything is orange, and it was named "Orang-ya Jealous". It's got waaay to much going on but I would totally rock it.
I wish I could find a picture. I think there are some in the boat names thread.

I agree with you that a boat is one of the few places a guy can get away with an outrageous color combo but...purple and pink is where I draw the line.
I'm totally down for blue, green, orange, maybe yellow, some reds are cool but purple/pink is a no go, the wife doesn't even like it. I won't deny that the boat above does pull it off very well, enough to get me to make the phone call but I couldn't spend 10 G's on it.
I'm just waiting for the right boat at the right price. I got a new truck this year and I want something that'll look good behind this thing...

What's your opinion on a triple axle trailer for a little 21' boat. Seems like it's just extra maintenance to handle on the bearings and tires. I've got plans to get a 23' Parker Pilot house in the future and those are much bigger boats for their length and they're still only on a double axle trailer.

What's your opinion on a triple axle trailer for a little 21' boat. Seems like it's just extra maintenance to handle on the bearings and tires. I've got plans to get a 23' Parker Pilot house in the future and those are much bigger boats for their length and they're still only on a double axle trailer.
My opinion.... its way overkill. I am sure that a triple axle would tow very stable and smooth. But the dual axle on the Bahner tows great.
I will say it looks really nice. Would be a bitch to back into a tight spot

I've always towed to the river with a Tahoe....
The triple axle tows so strait my short Tahoe does amazing.
no problems pulling into tight spots.
My trailer sits pretty level so it twists around on the center tires which means driving around town and parking lots put some serious wear and tear on the tires.

im going to triples on my 21. looks cool, tows great, rides even better since i can spread the load across more axles rather than 2 stiff ones, or 1 really stiff axle. my single axle trailer towed like balls and beat the crap out of the boat if it has drop axles even better gets the trailer lower to the ground for better towing.
that boat is nice. i did tweed and it keeps the dirt in. think about it. your car kicks up road grime and dirt... on a vinyl seat you can just wipe it off. on tweed it gets in the fibers. then you sit in the seat and your back gets all black. not to mention on a snug seat the tweed would rub my beer handles and it would get sore after a decent ride. my opinion, stay vinyl.

Hahaha, I'll tell you what I know but I need you or Wes to come over and tell me if I got a good deal.
'96 Ultra
454, no hour meter, seems good enough to get me through a season or two
Dominator Jet with a place diverter
Interior is okay, needs a little attention
Floor's solid
Stereo, it's there
Trailer needs some love but towed nice from Huntington to Elsinore
It seems like a solid boat and it gets me on the water but for $7000 I've got plenty of money left over to make it nice.

Lake Elsinore near the corner of Grand and Machado, my neighborhood backs up to the old ostrich farm if you're familiar with that.
