  • I bought the hull to build my second V8 Berkeley jet drive riveted boat. Going to keep building them until I have a fleet

    There’s a few aluminum “fish &ski” type boats I have imagined would be great jet boats

      @@marcinman9693 yes there's quite a few hulls I was looking at. Crestliner made some 15 and 16 ft boats that look like they would work great. I'd also like to do a 17-18 ft mod v like a bass tracker or similar

    Consider setting jet pump back so clean-out is behind transom. Make a race plate, which makes removing bowl easy. This may also help with the driver seat/helm position. A 4200 would be fun, but it's tall and long and will be $ in long run. Same with other motors. I would rather spend $ on AL ls for weight savings in transom. Power per dollar matters.

      @@robertwetteroff9401 yes that's what I was planning. The clean out inside the boat is dumb I'm not doing that again. And like you said way easier to r&r the bowl for impeller and wear ring changes down the road

    You're a mad man doing a second haha, one was enough for me to build. Looking forward to your future build videos though 👍

    Ron I have a brand new, never used set of Hardin LS exhaust manifolds and other Hardin items to sell. I'm in Kawkawlin and it would be great to meet and show you the boat I've been building. The Hardin manifolds did not fit in my engine space so I had to go with log style manifolds.
