Make The Forum Great Again!
(https://socaljetboats.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/flyer-800x1000-1.png)
The Forum on SoCal Jet Boats have been around since 2006. There is over 16 years of information and knowledge that has been contributed by many members over the years to create this vast knowledge base of jet boat information. Since the conception of the SoCal Jet Boats Facebook Group, the forums have slowed down quite a bit even though there are still a handful of diehards holding out (we love you guys!), but we want to pump some life back into the forum with a Project Thread Contest!
While we are in the off season, let's get those projects going! Maybe your winter project is in full swing. Maybe you need some motivation to get your project going. Whether you're just swapping in new cables or you're doing a major renovation or upgrade, we want to see what you're up to and how you're doing it!
The Best Project Thread on the forum gets a $500 Gift Card redeemable in the SoCal Jet Boats Online Speed Shop!
Rules
- Each Project Thread on the SoCal Jet Boats Forum is judged separately. Make only one (1) project thread per project.
- Project Threads are to be posted in the Projects Section on the SoCalJetBoats.com Forum here: https://www.socaljetboats.com/projects/
- Pictures/details/descriptions/instructions must be posted on the forum within the project thread's comments.
- Only Project Threads created between 1/1/2023 and 3/31/2023 are eligible.
- Contest ends on 3/31/2023 at midnight PST.
- Judging will be based on picture of details, project substance, scope of detail, instruction, information/links to where tools, materials, parts can be purchased, creativity of project, etc.
- Do not post the pictures/information directly on social media. Put it all into your thread and share a link to your thread on social media.
- Promote your project thread on social media by posting a link to your progressing project thread (ex: Check out my latest progress on my project!)
- Don't forget! The SoCal Jet Boats Forum has a Mobile App to make uploading and managing the pictures of your thread easier. Search for "SoCal Jet Boats" in your app store. Best of all, it's FREE!
- The winner will receive an electronic gift card in a form of a digital code that can only be entered into the SoCal Jet Boats Speed Shop during checkout, to be redeemed for merchandise only available in the SoCal Jet Boats Speed Shop located at https://parts.socaljetboats.com. The gift card code has no cash value and cannot be exchanged, traded or sold.

Great idea, especially for us old dudes that don?t really do social media stuff.
I have a build thread coming up on a TFH.

Hey Brad, any chance you want to do this for 2024? Seems I've kinda started down a day cruiser sized rabbit hole over here. I haven't had my boat on the water since 2013 and figured it was time.

Looks like it?s working, welcome back to the site. I dont have FB so not sure if you are active over there. I know we haven?t met in person but we have messaged a couple of times.
I came back a few years ago after selling my ski boat and got a cole.

Thanks for the welcome 75Fantasy. After retiring 18 months ago I set about working on my bucket list. I built a vintage dirt bike from the frame up, with a bunch of custom touches. Went to Europe for a month with the wife and her best friend, living out of backpacks. Came home and 4 days later we started on a 6400 mile trip to New York to attend the biggest vintage motocross race in the country. Saw Mt. Rushmore/Sturgis/Deadwood, Chicago, Niagra Falls, Nashville, Carlsbad caverns, and some friends we hadn't seen since high school.
I live less than an hour from Perris, Elsinore, and Silverwood, and about 3 hours to the river. I grew up on the river literally, as my grandfather owned 600 acres next door to Water Wheel from the 1940's to the 1990's. Boating has always been a great form of recreation for my family. I love my boat and figured it was time to get back out on the water, doing something else that brings me pleasure. Can't afford something newer and nobody makes a hull design that fits our lifestyle nearly as well as what I have, so now is the time to make the magic happen again.
Pursue the things that make your family happy people. It is the only way. I want to leave this earth smiling.

Awesome, keep working on that list!
