made the first test run in my mini day cruiser today, as you can see the ride plate needs to come up and the jetovator stopped working just before i left the house, it will only turn the impeller 4000 rpms, im hoping i can get them up a little with the jetovator fixed and a ride plate adjustment.it didnt blow up so its still a good day  :smile17:

Just get a fat chick to ride on the bow of the boat and it will be fine  :smile30:

you need to ditch that jetovator, its the electric one right? get rid of that and put a manual diverter on it., atleast you guys were in the water!

i think thats a great idea, i was wanting to do that as soon at the jetovator broke....well it did and quickly. keep eyes open for a cheap cable and lever.it can be ugly as hell.

its ok, but judging by the angle of the ride plate and how the boat is running, i think it has some more in it with some adjustments.it was trimmed way down, if i could have got the pump up a little i think it wold have ran up to 4500rpm.gonna play with it this week and maybe try again next weekend.

[77Jet Star]

Looks good but its funny in video 1 it looks like blue smoke comming out of the cockpit area at times .  Any way nice job .  jump.gif

 

[soldier of fortune]

simply lives over near baton rouge,la. looks great in the vids jarrod, did ya'll gps it? a diverter would probably get more of the boat out of the water, and give  ya a little more speed.

thats the amite river from french settlement headed north, there is blue smoke iun the vid, it was a shakedown run and had a small valve cover leak.i only ran it for about 10 or 15 minutes to find the problems.
