WTB / Re: WTB - Jet Boat Seats
« Last post by TrollerDave on April 16, 2025, 09:59:23 AM »
I am looking for used jet boat seats.  I have a 1978 Omega, and I made the mistake of trusting a company to redo my seats.  The guy came over and gave me a decent price to redo the seats, and I gave him 50% to get started.  I was a fool.  His address was fake, and I could not get the framework for the seats back.

It is better to start with something instead of nothing.    I am attaching images of what the seats looked like, but I do not expect to find the same.  Just need something to start with for a jet boat.  I am in Norco, Ca.

That sucks. Are you looking to use them as temporary seats or as a template to make them?
You don?t see people offering old seats for sale or giving them away, they usually just get trashed. Best bet might be to reach out to some boat interior shops and see if you can get someone?s old setup. Maybe try to contact GS marine and see how f they have anything.
These forums are a ghost town now. It?s all about the SCJB Facebook group. You might have a better chance there.
 Another thought is fiberglass buckets and a bench for the back. I think Jet Boat Performance still sells them.
Good luck. 👍🏻

Great find

Go with the biggest impeller you can, big girl needs a big wheel.

Make sure there's a gate valve on the incoming water line. Adjust as necessary, 140 while cruising is plenty. (helps keep pressure/ volume in check)

The Jet-O-Vator steers wonky, and virtually impossible to get parts for. Upgrade to a Place Diverter. Standard equipment on Berks from the mid 80's on. Go hydraulic if you can $wing it.
Tom or Josh at JBP would be my first phone call.

wondering if people are still interested in this thread. i just bought a sleekcraft executive ( i think thats the model ) jet boat. 23' on the title havent measured the entire thing to the pump yet. ive got a bunch of questions on it and hoping someone here has some info. its got a big block 454 and a split bowl pump with an old jet o vator thats just in a fixed postion no moving it. got it running yesterday and set the timing on it. previous owner had some issues with water getting in the oil was believed to be from the exhaust logs but i found the intake manifold gaskets were not sealed correctly around the water ports so im hoping that was the cause. any info on getting this thing dialed would be appreciated. ill try and get some pictures loaded as well.

lol. I tried to do a flip one year on a kneeboard (failed btw) and burst an eardrum. I was in so much pain driving home from pyramid lake over the grapevine. My wife thought I was being dramatic until she noticed blood coming out my ear!
