Title: Inherited a jet boat. Don't know what to do
Post by: Forshage on May 15, 2012, 10:36:33 AM

I inherited a jet boat. At least 35 years old and it hasn't been run in at least 5 years.  I think it's a good boat, obviously needs pain and some stuff.  But I would like to get it run able and tow-able. And see what I have before getting rid of it or something.
Big 455 engine with high rise and 6 barrel carb
Boat is located in San Jose.  Any recommendations?

I have never heard of or seen a 6 barrel carb but triple 2 barrels is my guess. Pic's and the hin # would help id the boat. the him is located on the transom or rear of the boat on the right side
