Martinez?? never been. Where is it?
It is North of Yuma, south of Blythe. Nothing but sand, NO rocks at all, wide water with a minimum of idiots
The first two pictures are the same boat, the third picture is a different boat. Damn, that third picture looks familiar...
colors are reversed, the third is QJ's old SangerI miss that Sanger. That thing hauled ass.
I miss that Sanger. That thing hauled ass.
When you taking yours out again??
ASAP!!! I pulled the heads to replace a gasket, found the blower going south and one detail after the next, here it is about two months later. I painted the block n heads, rewired, replumbed, replaced bolts w/ stainless. new battery box, new chrome marine Alt. yada yada so on and so forth. The bitch is I've moved in the middle of it all and am five miles from the Lake!!! Gonna work on it tonight, maybe take a day or two off this week to geter runnin. Gotta machine the water pump for a real seal, it's leaking water into the oil and it's a Kuhl "River Rat" pump and he's outta business..Sooooo soon brotha soon. Ever wanna do Mead or Mojave lemme know. What did ya think about the other Sanger I found, funny shit huh?Yes, it's amazing how many of these things look alike. Same colors with slightly different patterns. I'm gonna have to hit up Mead one weekend before the Summer is over. I will deffinitley let you know.
My 74 sleekcraft 23ft and 75 Hawiaain 18ft right after the ground up resto.That hawaiian looks bad ass! And it has a FORD in it , Right on.
That hallett is a great looking boat I love the lines on it. What year is that by the way?Thanks Mike . Its a 72 . My buddy has been lookin for a spectra 20 and they have the same top . When spectra made their 20 . Howard bought one with the intent of splashing it and told the owner of spectra that . He said no problem . So as it turns out the Howard and the spectra are the exact same boat , top and bottom .The executives are in a class of there own too.
I have the Queen Mary of jets, but it works to tow all the drunk arses off the beach at the end of the day (and the chairs, and the coolers, and the....)Thats just bad ass !

Funny thing is that with a larger boat, nobody suspects that it's a jet... I was able to "accidentally" roost some jackass lake licer in Havasu the other week for cutting a bit too close, he NEVER saw it coming and nearly knocked him off his block ;D;D ;D ;Dthat's great
needles to say after being yelled at twice before for coming to close (and spraying us once), he didn't do it a 3rd time.
Beerjet, I was looking at your boat, and the top is different from my Spectra. Just an FYIReally . I was always led to believe that they had the same top .
What I've noticed with the similar Spectra boats, is that they use a little different deck, but a very similar bottom.I thought the tops were identicle and the bottoms were diffrent ???
And I know what you mean by "family boat" than can plow water, they get their own :D
And is that one a Spectra?The white one yes.
I think we need to get them side by side . And a full cooler in between ;D

Agreed! Since the Avi is a whole 15 min from my home.....How about the Blue Water , it's 3 1/2 hours from me. ;D

Somebody just explained the engine locations. On a v-drive you put the motor forword to set the ride hight of the boat. With the motor forword you dont have to drag the plates to get it to ride right. Where in a jet i guess you want the ass end planted where the water is. We just go over the top.You tha man .....
i would love to post in here but im too stupid;Dgo to additional options and the browse
Good looking boat ;D
Was the engine moved forward or did it come that way?

Actually the MC is unrestored..... It came with a enough spare parts to build another 392, needless to say we think we did all right and are totally in love with the boat.

Agreed, but what YOU put into a boat, a car, a motorcycle, etc doesnt mean YOU are going to get it out of it when you sell it!
have you built a boat from scratch and finished it?
i know what i have into my liberty and i know i couldnt even get 1/2 of what i put into it even after its done.
kinda the reason i didnt follow through on the hallett....to even make it as 1/2 as nice as that bahner ...it would cost me more then what he is asking.

These don't really give a good unobstructed view of the boat. Hard to get those pictures when we party the way we do. I hope to get some really good ones this weekend at BR.
Thanks. What do you guys thing about the scoop I just got it on today?Looks perfect, just what I want to add to mine... where and how much?

Even worse, she wouldnt of told you until the new owner came to pick it up. "Oh by the way, I sold MY boat honey" :D
Haha my wife would just ask why the stereo is not as loud as the boat yet. We like lotsa racket!!

C'mon bro, you dont need to apoligize to me.... I aint gonna hide from the truth! lol
I've been told that this year 2010 wont be as good a year for us Local 12 Operators... so Im not doing any spending untill work picks back up.
As the boat sits right now, its about 2 years out from where I want it.
As far as this season goes... just gonna throw in some higher compression pistons (8.1 now) and call it a day!
I just want to be able to attend these gathering with you guys this summer since I got such a late start on it last year. ;D
What happend to the boat you named your son after?I sold that about a year and a 1/2 ago.
always wanted a nordic v-driveThe Nordic is super fun to drive. Now I get to screw it all up by changing everything... ;D

Here are some pics of my new ultra. Boat was bought new by my uncles and he owned it up until last april when he upgraded to a 22 stealth. He offered the boat to me first but I couldn't get the money together in time so he sold it to a guy off craigslist. Well about a year later when I had cash and was looking for a boat, the boat came back up for sale on craigslist and I bought it. Its nice having it back in the family as this is the boat that got me into performance boats and the river.Bitchin boat! But is that your river pad? If so I just made a new best friend lol >:D

Were going out to martinez this weekend so keep an eye out for us
Have a few toys myself. I rock crawl a 2000 dodge ram, built a 79 camaro from scratch pushing 520hp with little 383 that I bought when I was 15. A 2006 Yamaha R1 and finally the boat. A 75 Challenger that I just finished a fresh 454 for. I'm only 25 and couldn't have done it without the Marine Corps. :)
What part of Powell?
was wondering the same thing....
finally the boat. A 75 Challenger that I just finished a fresh 454 for.
Funny you asked...Powell! Lol ;D The only time I get to see my parents are once a year when I meet them at Powell. My dad is a prop guy (don't attack, I give him enough shit) he has a 35 ft bayliner that we stay on for 8 days. It's really nice! Last year my grandparents brought their boat down also. That almost never happens though. It was a very nice reunion. The year the pic was taken was when I drove up to Bullfrog to launch. Sucks but that is where my Dad keeps his boat and if I break it's a fail safe. The year before I drove up to Dangling Rope from Wahweap to meet him. Nice drive but you have to leave early! (like 0530) Gotta get on the lake before them dang tour boats. You'll use a tank getting there and it takes about an hour. I noticed alot of jet guys cruise at over 4 g's but I found that if I cruise at 3200 it stays planed and gets decent gas. Gotta conserve considering gas is way over $5 a gallon. Anyways, I grew up on that lake. By far my favorite and if you haven't been you need to go!! Get some friends together and rent a house boat for a week. Great fun!! Already have plans to go next year, if my deployments don't screw me. Send me a pm if you are interested. Maybe we could pitch in for a house boat? I'll post it in events this winter when I know more details about what the Corps is going to do with me. I believe Nick and Mike are already on board! We'll be launching from Bullfrog. Let me know. :beer:
Think I messed those pics up oh well. Well this is my 1976 ranger. If you happen to get to look at the pics Pat those are the carbs I got off of you. Great deal man. :) :thumbup: :thumbup:
Sweet ride!
I have a question though....How did you get the rear flame arrestor on the rear carb? Looks sweet.
GT
Been there and done that Glenn! That scoop has a tray, so you mount it WITH the air cleaners (Arrestors if the po-po is watchin this...... :sly:), then the scoop bolts to the tray.
Now my Crower unit.........well, a little more complicated.........and not so much Po-Po friendly........ :sly:
Beautiful boat BTW! You even got the right deck ornaments in place! :thumbup:
Ray
O I C...Thanks Ray...Never played with one of the scoops before...I'm not even sure if I have ever seen one up close now that i think about it.
Makes sense. On the dual Dooley scoops you literally have to fit your hands between the top of the scoop and the arrestor, my daughters hands used to be perfect, now she's all growed up... :-\
GT
can't find a neighborhood kid with small hands......yet.........Gonna try making Ice Cream truck noises in a minute....... :sly:

Gorgeous boat bro!!! :thumbup:
True that! Just noticed those beautiful Valve Covers!!! Wow!!! Wonder where you got em... lmao!!! Lookin great. Have a question, I come back mid October and I was wondering if Havasu, Parker or Laughlin would be a good Halloween weekend place? Costume parties and sick ass boats?
the 1st pic is when I first purchased the Tahiti then the rest are how it looks now.
What part of Powell?Sorry....took me a bit.lol That was right up at the end of warm springs. I love powell...hadnt been since 1996....my ex hated to boat. This is a kewl thread...lotsa killer rides. Keep em coming guys. :thumbup:

1972 CHALLENGER w/ bbf 390 and jacuzzi pump.. shes my first... got her for a seadoo...
thanks... ya i would say that too... the guy didnt know what he had.. he said the motor didnt start and might need all these new BUT what he failed to do was check his gas and carb.. the gas was old, and the carb was all gunked up... new gas, new filter, cleaned the carb out, and it ran like new....
She don't like riding in the back, that's for sure ;)
Hi everyone.
New to the forum here and figured I would say hi and show a few pic's of our boat like the title of this thread says, so here she is. 1976 Hornet, 680hp BBF, Berk pump with droop and diverter. Just got through redoing the entire boat and she runs great and sooooo much different/better than last yr... I lived in CA for 12yrs right next to Castaic Lake, I miss being that close to the lake... Thanks and great to be here... Tony

Your Rogers looks like Steve King's MJ (Modified Jet) from the 70's Could it have had stars on the bubble and red/white stripes on the deck? If not It was probably built soon after Steve's boat because his was so sucessful Roger replicated a few without the star spangled treatment. What year is it?
just picked this up for our new family ride
that one i accidently put in thier that just one of the photos i have for paint ideas i was thinking that but like a blue instead of the redThats miller mikes piece. Beautiful boat has a 532 ford in it.
you sure do got alot of registrations to pay :sly:Yeah I know... The skis are only $20 each, but it sure adds up. I'm sure it's still less than some of you guys pay though.
no more exh. holes going otdetails and more pics please maybe start a thread I'm about to close mine up would like some more ideas

. So since everyone in the interior industry wants an arm and leg for seats I was thinking of doing lowback Porsche outlaw seats. Our shop restores numerous 356s an I think this would be a rad set up. Run 4 or 5 buckets keeps it clean an different. Anyone have any suggestions I'm all ears. I like the seats hallett did on there v drive restoration not sure what buckets they used but the work was done in house at there upholstery shop and i love the look. Don't have to worry about wood rot and it reminds me of that vintage race look. So if anyone has shells that are gel coated white or black or red I'd be interested. 1978 eliminator sprintI saw this boat in person on fathers day, pics don't do it justice...good looking boat

Fresh out of the Mold PD / Cheyenne 19, cant wait to get it home will have build pics in the near months to come when getting a boat built the one thing that is needed is Patience, Good things happen to those who wait I tell myself this everyday.
Congratulations!
Now for the anxiety of cutting the first hole.
Cheers,
Joe
[/quoteThats funny we were just talking about that a few days ago so the only hole will be the steering and I've already had the shits thinking about that ,Tack will be on the steering column oil gauge between seats temp on the engine heads thats all no hole boat. ]

Very nice, I love the stance of your truck. My grandfather just finished his 53 and I know he has a lot of parts for 48-53 so, let me know if you are looking for anything in particular and I can ask him for you. He's in Norco.
Mine is also a 53. The only sheetmetal parts I need are a tail gate, rear bumper and brackets. The chassis is complete. It has a mustangs 2 up front with a power rack and disc brakes and the rear is a triangular 4 link with a 10 bolt 3rd gen Camaro disc brake rear end. It has a 5.7 with a 700r4 now but I want to do a ls motor. Needs to be wired, plumbed and just a bunch of odds and ends. Probably going back to my brothers shop to get finished when he is done with his car.

Aquaholic72.....ur 1-ton, that's a flop & c- notch on the back? Front is 2"drop spindles w/short springs? I really like the way it sits. How's your ride quality, any difference? Thanks!i believe the kit was a western 5-7 kit.. yes flop n notch in the back with leafs pulled, and 2" spindles and spring with bump stops removed.. it rides pretty good actually.. needs helper bags n the rear for loads tho..
Lov me sum dully's..mine. 10 mpg, annual license 300....not too sure I'll keep it too long.
You guys got same set-up? Alcoholic and Bahner? The 4 and 7? Luv the squat look! I've got the 2an4 kit, still have farm truck look. Just not sure about the notch and spring deal. Thanks guys! Got sum think' to do.just pull the trigger brother! They look bitchin layin on the ground! O0 alil harder to find people to align them tho once theyre slammed.. i use pruitts here in redlands..

I am new to So Cal Jet Boating community. I recently moved to the river from So Cal and this is my first boat. And I love it! She is a 1977 Challenger w/Ford 460. I purchased her from a young man in Lake Havasu, that was in the process of buying a new home for his new family(1 toddler and 1 on the way) And I got the distinct feeling that my girl got voted out! Thank you! There is a god and I feel like they were smiling on me that day! I have been "Holding My Own" and kneeling to the Arizona Boat Gods ever since......God Bless.....Amen!Welcome to the jet boat family!!! And welcome to the site. Tons of great people on here and alot of awesome info as well. Welcome and good lookin float
