    1989 Jetstar 1250

    Not sure what this thing is considered, a bit big to be in the jetski category and maybe too small to be a real boat. I was wondering if maybe someone had some kind of manual on it, or half a manual. I know nothing about how anything on this boat works and would love some reading material...

    I recently almost lost my motor, which tore up the fiberglass on the transom a little bit. I took off the aluminum molding from the top of the transom, and discovered that there was a gap between the fiberglass which left the wood showing on the back top corner of the transom. It's a 1967...

    Mounting motor to boat.

    Today I had a mishap, but could have been much worse. I have a 67 14ft starcraft with a 40hp. As I approached the boat ramp I decided to play around a bit, and my motor slipped off the transom while making some very sharp turns. Didn't damage the transom and I had the clamps for the motor...
