Title: "Make the Forum Great Again" Project Thread Contest!

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

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.
