Cheap pump

[SimplyOrange]

you get what you pay for, when you pay junk prices you get junk parts.

So all those boats you bought cheap were junk?

yes, just like the one kona got, except  his is beyond junk, i'm not sure if they have a category for his

lol,  well this is the difference between KONA and SOF or SO???....  Kona has the ability to restore a boat,  definitely can not say the same for SO????..... think.gif

who is SOF and SO? just curious befcause some people refer to my screen name as SO and i assure you i can restore ANYTHING and have a large portfolio to back it up, but if you are not talking about me then carry on....... :grin:

kona has the ability? maybe to build a bulkhead, not to restore a boat.

pumps are easy to rebuild, as long as its not cracked anywhere its a good deal,powdercoat it, throw an overhaul kit in it and its like new...

If its cracked it could be welded though right?  If done properly though of course.

it can and on a low performance boat would be ok, but i wouldnt do it for high performance use, the cast aluminum gets weak next to the weld and will usually crack again.kinda depends where the crack is.

So i guess the earl smith i bought in 2009 for 500.00 buck was junk as well?  Ihave bought a ton of pumps that were and are good for under 150.00 bucks and all of them are jg's

where is that earl smith? lets see a pic,, so i can really hurt your feelings :smile16:

That Glastron I got the other day is a pile also, but it will be a pristine gem when it's done.

yep there is a reason, why only certain people pick these boats up too.

 

[soldier of fortune]

I am not afraid to say my boat was junk when I bought it but I bought it knowing that and planned on spending a lot more than I paid for it to bring it back. Hence my negotiation in the price.

there's a reason why no one restores chrysler jetboats

Because there is not many out there?

Did you ever wonder why    :smile21:        Just kidding if thats what you like go for it.Thats what makes this fun.  :smile17:

Welll.... I blame the gubberment.  If they wouldnt have shut down CHryslers Marine Division in the 80's when it was the only profitable division maybe we would see a lot more Marine Chrysler motors and boats.  Not sure on the Jet I guess we will just have to find out.  Although the Jet was produced through the 80's the last year for my boat was 79 a 6 year run.  They went to larger boats and some still had the jet in them just seemed slower in the larger boats probably needed to be better tuned or maybe its not possible.  I guess I will find out.

keep dreaming while you are at it you might as well restore a tow vehicle for it here ya go i found ya the perfect one. actually here are a couple choices for ya, man guess the government was behind the self destrution of the rest of chrysler's best stuff too, huh?

Wasn't that called thr "K" car and really cost them a bunch in recalls and bad publicity.I kinda remember after that they tryed to change their image but it really hurt them.  :smile20:

 

[soldier of fortune]

yep, but all of you know the GOVERNMENT was behind all their problems. i think it was chryslers version of a pinto

Quit mocking the K-Car that was my first car and it lasted a long time.  Parents bought it new in 81 and I got it in 91 for school. LOL.  I have a good tow vehicle its this one

 

[ChryslerJet]

BTW I don't blame the gubberment for their failures just for making them shut down the only profitable division at the time which was the marine division.  Doesn't make sense the company is in trouble lets shut down the only part making money and concentrate on the parts not making money.

 

[soldier of fortune]

oh crap

 

[soldier of fortune]

well it's a good thing somebody shut them down, i really dont think the world could handle seeing another one of those chrysler jets in person, kinda made me throw up when i saw it., better put a hemi in it.

 

[SimplyOrange]

SOF is Randall. Not sure who Kona was referring to as SO.  Regardless there is a cheap pump in wylie if anyone is looking

 

[SimplyOrange]

i was told it was me, somebody builds one raggity A$$ kona and they are suddenly a god of all restorations.... i guess i need to restore a ford fiesta so i can have something to brag about.id like for him to wake up from his crack high and reply with some substance behind his ignorant ass opinion.

 

[KONA77]
