Like Blenderman said, "pics".... they are worth their weight in gold around here. :grin: Welcome to THB, where you from?

What kind of Jacuzzi you have, YJ or WJ... Nothing wrong with them, one is a little more desireable than the other is all.

My shop is right on 225 in Deer Park . Where you plan on running the boat ? Most people in the area go to the San Jac , just go up BattleGround and across the ferry to old 90 and take a left to Love's Marina . Any given Sunday there are several people out at the river .

Been to San Jac a couple of times with "Turboed TX 20".  This is what fire me up about jets. Met a few people and had a great time.
Yes I bought these from C.L.    A great deal. All 3 boat are in better shape than they seem on PICS. Tons of spare parts.

and yes, this one has a diverter.

David,you stole those boats  :grin: great way to get started, get that tank fixed and get in the water.Is the tank aluminum?If you need some tanks i might be able to get some 8" pipe cheap and weld some caps on them for you.A roller motor with aluminum heads,thats a great start.
Don't know much about your pump,just get it running and see what it does.If Alan isn't interested in the sleekcraft let me know.
If you need any parts,help info or whatever,call me.979-244-7070.
Good luck.

Yes I bought all three. $4000.00, My brother went to dinner with ya'll. I had the kids and the jetski.

Thanks Mike, The tanks are 17 gal aluminum. I plan to have it in the water in a couple of weeks. GOD, time and luck willing.
There is very little to do to the Red boat. The Colorado Custum is complete with a fresh 455 olds and berkley, Interior and paint needs reworked. The Sleekcraft Has a fresh 455 olds and jacuzzi no interior, Not sure if it is a tunnel or not. Will find out Sunday.
The stringers are good on all three. I told Alan he could have it if he wants it, He is not sure yet.
OH, I learned from other posts that the headers will add 40 MPH so I am set  :smile24: :smile24:

After a closer look, the Hawaiian needs more work than I thought. Looking for rub rail and diverter cable, Any Ideas.
