My loader bent on me a couple of weeks back. I do not know if these cracks are okay? Can I just put some silicon around them? Bought a used rock grate to put  back in there. Tom a Jet boat performace said they do not sell loaders anymore for YJ's because of the danger of them cracking. Another reason not to buy a boat with a Jacuzzi unless you dont mind not going fast  :rolleyes:

So did you find a rock grate for it?  think.gif
Yea Tom, had one, on the way already. He also said a heavy as# boat like mine really doesnt benfit from it. They are dangerous on YJ'S because you can not bolt them through like a Berk.

Well sent Tom some picks, said looks like the intake is separating from the glass. the correct way to fix would be, take the motor out, pump, intake, grind smooth, re expoxy, re set pump. That will have to wait till winter. Now I can see why boat has been getting more water in it. I guess it allergic to water. :rolleyes:

I would not spend all that money on this Tanker  :grin:, It did croos my mind though  :grin: Fiqure If I can make it to winter, strip it  to fix the pump and while its down go ahead and paint it too.

Maybe a pump set back and a berk put in there, I dont know any I personally truck that I would let hack my boat up. Snows good, but I would not want it to be there that long, and sinking another 3000 grand in pump and glass work would benfit it. I can say thogh it is the Only Omega Bubble Jet I ahve seen or heard of in texas. I ahve only seen one more on the old Hot boat and he had a blown bbc. Think I will just wait to sink it in a vdrive one day  :grin:

i got a berk intake for the bottom of your boat george if ya want it, it needs to be machined for a shoe and rideplate, but it's yours if ya want it. also got a hook up on a splitbowl pump fresh rebuild from mike's pump and speed.

But who does that kind of work you can trust to change it over?
